I get the same thing (can't find file x in this case) with:

<action name="send-email" class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.routing.email.EmailRouter">
                            <property name="unwrap" value="true" />
                            <property name="host" value="localhost" />
                            <property name="port" value="25" />
                            <property name="auth" value="false" />
                            <property name="username" value="realuser" />
                            <property name="password" value="x" />
                            <property name="from" value="jbossesb@realdomain.com" />
                            <property name="sendTo" value="realuser@realdomain.com" />
                            <property name="subject" value="Important message" />
                        </action>

That happens whether auth is true or false. If I leave an empty string in password or take password and username out completely, then I just get:

I have search these forums, and googled the various pieces of this. Could someone please point me at a working example configuration or tell me where to look? Is there more information in the fault message that isn't getting delivered, and how can I see inside of it?

Thanks for your help!

Ok - I did get it working. At least in my situation, I had to point the value of the password property to the absolute pathname of a file. I generated the file with a command like:

java -cp ../../../common/lib/jbosssx.jar org.jboss.security.plugins.FilePassword thisisnotmyrealsalt 12 thepass esb.password

That created a file named esb.password.

I then used an action configuration similar to this:

<action name="send-email" class="org.jboss.soa.esb.actions.routing.email.EmailRouter">
                <property name="unwrap" value="true" />
                <property name="host" value="localhost" />
                <property name="port" value="25" />
                <property name="auth" value="false" />
                <property name="user" value="none" />
                <property name="password" value="/usr/local/jboss/server/default/conf/esb.password" />
                <property name="from" value="jbossesb@realdomain.com" />
                <property name="sendTo" value="realuser@realdomain.com" />
                <property name="subject" value="Important message" />
            </action>

The message actually goes out.

Seems like a bug - the docs seem to say that the username and password would be the actual username and password sent to the smtp server.

I also found one more MAJOR issue to get it working.  I had a jbr-listener set up. The port I had it configured to listen on somehow found its way into the host string in the Emailer!

Initialising mail server sesson. Properties: {mail.smtp.port=25, mail.smtp.auth=false, mail.smtp.host=localhost:9898}

The 9898 is the port of the jbr listener! I commented it out - thank heavens that I didn't actually need it for this particular service - and it started working.

I don't know. Maybe someone from JBoss could chime in on this?
