h1. HowTo configure Redmine to mail to MS Exchange server
MS Exchange works the same way as other SMTP servers: just edit your @config/email.yml@ file with your favorite text editor. Initially, the @production@ section should look something like this:
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: smtp.example.net
port: 25
domain: example.net
authentication: :login
user_name: redmine@example.net
password: redmine
Usually MS Exchange will not require authentication information for outgoing (SMTP) email, so you can just comment out @domain@, @authentication@, @user_name@ and @password@ lines. Then, change @address@ to point to the IP or DNS name of your Exchange server. (if using a DNS name, make sure your web server can resolve it using @ping@!)
production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: your_exchange_server_address
port: 25
#domain: example.net
#authentication: :login
#user_name: redmine@example.net
#password: redmine
You may also have to change the port, depending on your Exchange server's configuration.
It should also be possible to allow outgoing email instead of just outgoing, incoming, by re-enabling the authentication and configuring the domain, username, and password correctly. However, this will require a separate email account to be created specifically for Redmine; you'll have to ask your Exchange server administrator about creating such an account.
