Email Configuration¶

Configuration Directives¶

This page is a work in progress, the following configuration directives is only a partial list.

authentication¶

The type of authentication method expected by your service provider.

Valid settings:

• :login
• :none

(note: if you set this to :none, you must not include the user_name and password settings)

delivery_method¶

The mail transport method to be used.

Valid settings:

• :smtp
• :async_smtp - valid in trunk/0.9 only
• :sendmail
• :async_sendmail - valid in trunk/0.9 only

Asynchronous delivery_methods¶

The :async_smtp and :async_sendmail use asynchronous sends, which mean Redmine does not wait for the email to be sent to display the next page. See Asynchronous Email Delivery for more details.
