Hi im currently developing and customizing alfresco using the alfresco sdk 3.0 All-in-one Archtype

[theosedirwa]

im unable to send email  using the mailing task when creating the bpmn workflows. i have adding smtp.gmail.com as the mail server to alfresco-global.properties but still get an exception when  using the workflow with the mailing task .i doubt the alfresco-global.properties are being used as the port number defined in alfresco-global.properties  and  what is one the exception stack are different.

the following is the exception thrown  when running the workflow
