Email

The email service can use any SMTP account configured in $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/conf/gatein/configuration.properties or $TOMCAT_HOME/gatein/conf/configuration.properties if you are using Tomcat.

The relevant section looks like:

# EMail
gatein.email.smtp.username=
gatein.email.smtp.password=
gatein.email.smtp.host=smtp.gmail.com
gatein.email.smtp.port=465
gatein.email.smtp.starttls.enable=true
gatein.email.smtp.auth=true
gatein.email.smtp.socketFactory.port=465
gatein.email.smtp.socketFactory.class=javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory

It is pre-configured for Gmail, so any Gmail account can easily be used. You simply need to use the full Gmail address as username, and fill in the password.

In corporate environments, you will want to use your corporate SMTP gateway. When using it over SSL, like in the default configuration, you may need to configure a certificate trust-store, containing your SMTP server's public certificate. Depending on the key sizes, you might also need to install Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files for your Java Runtime Environment.
