smtp_always_bcc setting for Redmine?

Added by Craig Rodrigues over 11 years ago

Hi,

I am migrating a Trac system to Redmine. In our Trac setup,
we use this setting:

smtp_always_bcc ( see http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracNotification )
List of email addresses to always send notifications to, but keeps addresses not visible from other recipients of the notification email

Is there a similar setting for Redmine?
I looked at http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/EmailConfiguration
but didn't see a setting which was the same.

Thanks for any help.

Kuniharu,

I do have the Blind-carbon-copy-recipients-bcc setting enabled, but it is not doing
what I think I want to do.

In my group, we have Trac set up, so that when it sounds out e-mails, the e-mail headers look
something like:

From: no-reply &lt;no-reply@example.net&gt;
    Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2013 23:44:42 -0000
    Reply-To: no-reply@example.net
    Subject: Re: [PROJECT] #2552: Some bug

Then in trac.ini, we set "smtp_always_bcc: developers@example.net"

That way, e-mails go out, but developers@example.net is not in the
e-mail header to prevent spam, but developers@example.net still receives the e-mail.

In Redmine, I enabled Blind-carbon-copy-recipients-bcc setting, but developers@example.net did not
receive it.

Oh OK, I figured out how to get things working. I was a bit confused, because
the configuration setting.

Here is what I did:

(1)  In* Administration -> Users -> Add User*
        add a new user with e-mail: developers@example.net

(2)  Add developers@example.net to the projects I want to receive e-mail notifications from.

(3)  Go to Administration -> Users and select the user whose email is developers@example.net,
        set Email notifications to:  "For any event on all my projects".

(4)  Go to Administration -> Settings -> Email notifications

(5)  Set Emission e-mail address to:  no-reply@example.net

(6)  Click on Blind carbon copy recipients (bcc)

When I did all this, then Bcc: emails were sent properly to developers@example.net,
and the feature behaved as written: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineSettings#Blind-carbon-copy-recipients-bcc
