Set up email delivery from your CollabNet TeamForge site

To enable your site to send automatic notifications to users by email, set up a mail server.

1. Open the master site configuration file in a text editor. For example:
   • vi /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/5.4.0.0/conf/site-options.conf
2. Specify how you want site-related emails handled by giving values for these variables:
   • SYSTEM_EMAIL: A valid email address for the system administrator responsible for this site.
   • ADMIN_EMAIL: A valid email address for the site administrator.
   • JAMES_POSTMASTER_EMAIL: A valid email address for the person or machine that handles email for the domain, such as postmaster@supervillain.org.
     Tip: The email accounts specified in the SYSTEM_EMAIL, ADMIN_EMAIL, and JAMES_POSTMASTER_EMAIL variables must be hosted on a separate server from the TeamForge site server. They do not necessarily have to be different from each other.
   • JAMES_GATEWAY_HOST: A mail server with Internet access. This assures delivery of site email to users if your TeamForge server cannot connect to a DNS server or cannot get outside connections over port 25.
     Note: Specify the gateway host by its fully qualified domain name, not a host name.
3. Review the rest of the variables in the site-options.conf file to make sure their values are right for your installation, then save the file.
