If you've ever reported a but to Ruby on Rails, you'll have noticed that their Trac has nice email notification feature. And I bet you want that in your Trac as well!
|
|
|
|
Now, email notification are nothing exotic. You don't need any plugins, just an outgoing SMTP server and access to your trac.ini file.
|
|
|
|
In your trac directory open up conf/trac.ini and look for the [notification] header. Make sure you have at least the following settings. Of course, make sure you enter valid values for your situation.
|
|
|
|
<pre lang="text">always_notify_owner = true
|
|
always_notify_reporter = true
|
|
always_notify_updater = true
|
|
smtp_always_cc = trac-updates@mailinglist # Optional if you want to archive outgoing emails
|
|
smtp_enabled = true
|
|
smtp_from = trac@ariejan.net
|
|
smtp_from_name = Ariejan.net Trac
|
|
smtp_replyto = noreply@ariejan.net
|
|
smtp_user =
|
|
smtp_password =
|
|
smtp_server = localhost
|
|
smtp_port = 25</pre>
|
|
|
|
There are a few more options like 'ignore_domains' if you don't want to send emails to certain domains.
|
|
|
|
Update: good news for you GMail users! There is a 'use_tls' attribute. I think that if you set it to true, you can then specify GMail's SMTP server to send out mails. Of course, a better solution would be to setup Postfix to relay mail to GMail, and just leave Trac to it's default 'localhost' settings.
