Hi Manav,

Your properties doesn't seem to be taken into account.

Check that your alfresco-global.properties file is readable to the alfresco process and is in the right location (should be in $CATALINA_HOME/shared/classes).

It may also be because there are some options that have been set in the admin console and overrides the properties in this file. Check your Alfresco admin console.

just a dumb question: restarted alfresco after config change?

Second: Alfresco Versions prior 3.3 need a change to custom-email-context.xml to use smtps - but I don't think you are using 3.2 or older...
