Usage Note 49769: Enabling SMTP logging in a JBoss web application server to debug problems with e-mail notification
 |  |  |  |
Sometimes, in order to discover whether e-mail notifications are being sent, it helps to enable SMTP logging in your JBoss web application server. To enable this logging, edit the configuration file:
Jboss-home/server/your-server/deploy/mail-service.xml
The JBoss server is frequently SASServer1:
$ vim Jboss-home/server/SASServer1/deploy/sas-mail-service.xml
When you open the file for editing, it will look similar to the following:
<mbean code="org.jboss.mail.MailService" name="jboss:service=OpenKM">
<attribute name="JNDIName">java:/mail/OpenKM</attribute>
<attribute name="User">nobody</attribute>
<attribute name="Password">password</attribute>
<attribute name="Configuration">
<!–– A test configuration ––>
<configuration>
<!–– Change to your mail server prototocol ––>
<property name="mail.store.protocol" value="pop3"/>
<property name="mail.transport.protocol" value="smtp"/>
<!–– Change to the user who will receive mail ––>
<property name="mail.user" value="nobody"/>
<!–– Change to the mail server ––>
<property name="mail.pop3.host" value="pop3.your–domain.com "/>
<!–– Change to the SMTP gateway server ––>
<property name="mail.smtp.host" value="smtp.your–domain.com "/>
<!–– The mail server port ––>
<property name="mail.smtp.port" value="25"/>
<!–– Change to the address mail will be from ––>
<property name="mail.from" value="noreply@your–domain.com"/>
<!–– Enable debugging output from the javamail classes ––>
<property name="mail.debug" value="false"/>
</configuration>
</attribute>
<depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends>
</mbean>
To set SMTP debugging, change the mail.debug property:
<property name="mail.debug" value="false"/>
The new value should be set to true:
<property name="mail.debug" value="true"/>
After you make this change and save the file, restart the JBoss web application server. The SMTP details will be written to the JBoss web application server log.
