According 《Guide to installing redmine 2.5.2 in WindowsThis article describes how to build a basic redmine platform. It is time to further configure it.
As a project management platform, you must be able to notify project members of various status changes related to projects and tasks. This is also a typical observer model. A developer can track a task. When the task status, remarks, documents, and priority change, the developer can be notified.
For the newly configured redmine, you need to create a user and send an email to the new user to inform him of the Account, redmine platform address, and other related information.
Therefore, configuring email notification is the first step and must be done.
Configuration File
Config/configuration. yml is the configuration file of redminde, which has many options, such as email notification and attachment storage address, SCM, rmagick ...... It's easy to get Charming.

email_delivery: delivery_method: :smtp smtp_settings: address: smtp.example.net port: 25 domain: example.net authentication: :login user_name: "[email protected]" password: "redmine"
Modify the address option to configure your email server. Port is a port. User_name is the email account configured for redmine. redmine uses this account when sending emails to users. Therefore, you must set a password.
That's easy.
