How to change originating domain for e-mails

[Frederik Himpe <fh...@vub.ac.be>]

When a user wants to reset his password, tomcat/archiva sends a mail with 
"tomcat7@localhost" as the From address. Obviously this localhost domain 
is not accepted by the MTA of the smarthost. How to properly set the 
right domain name?

I had set
<Resource name="mail/Session" auth="Container"
           type="javax.mail.Session"
           mail.smtp.host="localhost"
           mail.from="archiva@example.com"/>
</Context>

in archiva.xml, but this does not work.

You can set email.from.address in the conf/security.properties file.

http://archiva.apache.org/docs/2.0.1/adminguide/customising-security.html
