You don't have to do anything, your Liferay install is just right.

Instead, look to the stack trace and resolve the real issue. It's reporting that the email is rejected due to policy reasons. Your mail server has determined that the email should be rejected.

Since I see the [e-mail] is being rejected, I'm guessing that it might be complaining about the sender email address. You might need to go to the Settings control panel then to the Email Notifications page and make some changes there.

Check these settings:

## Mail Properties
mail.session.mail.smtp.auth=true
mail.session.mail.smtp.host=
mail.session.mail.smtp.password=
mail.session.mail.smtp.port=25
mail.session.mail.smtp.user=
mail.session.mail.transport.protocol=smtp

These are only used during the first launch of Liferay. Afterwards, mail settings come from the database (set via the control panel).

That plus non of the settings address why [e-mail] would have been rejected by the mail server. Obviously it is connecting to the mail server and attempting the email send...

Yes exactly. Thanks.

As David said, it's probably because your email server is setup to reject email that's not in your company domain.
That's why it's rejecting email from @liferay.com.

Go to Control Panel -> Portal Settings and setup your portal's email address to be that of your company.
You may also be required to enter authorized email user and password to send email.

Hi,
Thanks Hitoshi !
I changed the domain from liferay.com to my company domain, in Control Panel>Portal Settings>General>Main Configuration Mail Domain.
But i could not find where to add the valid username and password, are we talking about Server Administration>Mail and filling up the details there?
Under Control Panel>Portal Settings>Email Notifications i also set the Senders Name and Address.
But i am still getting the same error.
Where can i view/change the policy?
If any can provide help, please...!

Hi,

Yes you need to do mail setting under Server Administration> Mail

There you need to provide smtp server,user name ,password and port number.

Hi Dhrutika,
I have made the changes in the Server Administration>Mail,
But i guess my understanding is not clear can you please provide me the meaning of the fields present there and what each field represents/does:
Incoming POP Server
Incoming Port
Check Box - Use Secure Network Connection
Username
Password

Outgoing SMTP Server
Outgoing Port
Check Box - Use Secure Network Connection
Username
Password

As i am new to liferay, Thanks in adv

Hi Ankur,
You can follow this link which is showing step by step configuration.
It has also SMTP Setup link which shows example of setting up a SMTP mail.
