Some general info: 


When sending a client event notification the e-mail comes from system@k2.local.


This value can be changed in the SourceCode.EventBus.Server.config file.


Update the <sendmailfrom> key:


<sendmailfrom>System@K2.local</sendmailfrom>


Thanks Juan for finding this out!

Hi All,


When you have processes currently using the notifications and you change the from e-mail address it will not take effect for the processes that are already deployed on the system.


This is what you have to do to have the new e-mail address take effect for these processes:



  1. Open the Process in Visual Studio, go to the client event(s) where notifications need to be sent and uncheck the Notification check box on the Event Notification Screen.
  2. Deploy your process.
  3. Go back to these client Events and go and check the Notification box once again.
  4. Deploy the process again.

You need to do this because the from address only resolves on a deploy of the process.


This will be logged as an issue.

Hi Robin,


Yes, since SP1 you can now simply change the <sendmailfrom> address in the SourceCode.EventBus.Server.config and restart your K2 [blackpearl] Server Service to affect the change.


You no longer have to change the process and deploy again.
