E-Mail Settings¶

• Send e-mails for review requests and reviews:

  If enabled, e-mails will be sent out whenever a review request is posted or updated, or when reviews and replies are posted.

  See E-Mail and Review Groups for more information.

• Send e-mails when new users register an account:

  If enabled, e-mails will be sent to the administrator every time a new user signs up to the site. This is useful for open source projects that are interested in new user signups.

• Sender e-mail address:

  The e-mail address all e-mails are sent from. The Sender e-mail header will be used to make e-mails appear to come from the user causing the e-mail to be sent. By using the Sender header for this instead of From, there’s less risk that e-mail clients will consider the e-mails to be malicious or spam. This may require a proper DKIM setup.

  This defaults to noreply@<servername>.

• Mail Server:

  The SMTP mail server used for outgoing e-mails. This defaults to localhost.

• Port:

  The SMTP mail server port. This defaults to 25.

• Username:

  The username needed to connect to the outgoing SMTP mail server, if any. This is optional and depends on the mail server configuration.

• Password:

  The password needed to connect to the outgoing SMTP mail server, if any. This is optional and depends on the mail server configuration.

• Use TLS for authentication:

  If enabled, TLS is used for mail server authentication. This is more secure, but requires TLS support on the mail server.
