Description Greg henry 2013-03-12 10:30:18 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.22 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/25.0.1364.152 Safari/537.22
Build Identifier: 

When a user try to register (more / register) , the register mail is always send using localhost as smtp server . 

Changes in conf/zanata.properties doesn't affect this behaviour .

The only way to change this is to digg into the war , and modify mail-session-host in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/component.xml
 
Registering process  must use the mail server defined in conf/zanata.properties.

in the current situation , NO NEW USER CAN REGISTER !!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. fresh Install
2. change /conf/zanata.properties to add a smtp server
3. try to register as a new user 
Actual Results:  
Zanata fail by trying to connect to a localhost smtp server
The user is not added to the database

Expected Results:  
Zanata must send the mail using smtp server configured in /conf/zanata.properties 

Changing the internal mail configuration in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/component.xml
is a workaround .

FYI : trying the same with the 2.2.2 version of Zanata .. still the same problem

More information , 
If I only specify the mail server in zanata.conf , it raise an "unknown SMTP host" error but the error message give the name of the good server .

Seems that the error is returned by some part of the application who effectively read zanata.conf but the connection is still made by another part who try to use META-IN/coponent.xml .

This may be fixed in the current version, but requires a test case and documentation for email server setting.

Comment 4 Ding-Yi Chen 2014-07-17 06:56:57 UTC

As newer Zanata version supports neither zanata.conf  nor zanata.properties.

You can specify the "default-from-address" in standalone.xml  as instructed in:

https://github.com/zanata/zanata-server/wiki/Installation-Guide#233-configure-jndi

Or you can do this in WebUI:
<ZanataServerUrl>/admin/server_configuration

This bug will otherwise be WONTFIX.

However, should you deem necessary, please reopen the bug, and we will be turn it to an Request For Enhancement (RFE).
