Email Notification of Ticket Changes
Trac supports automatic email notification upon ticket changes.
Note: This feature is disabled by default, and must be configured to be activated.
Receiving Notification
When reporting a new ticket or adding a comment, if you enter a valid email address in the reporter, editor or cc field, you will automatically receive an email upon future changes to the ticket.
This is useful to keep up-to-date on an issue or enhancement request that interests you.
Configuring SMTP Notification
Config Options
These are the available options for the [notification] section in trac.ini.
- smtp_enabled: Enable notification.
- smtp_server: SMTP server used for notification messages.
- smtp_replyto: Email address to use for Reply-To-headers in notification emails.
- smtp_always_cc: List of email addresses to always send notifications to. Typically used to post ticket changes to a dedicated mailing list.
Example Configuration
[notification] smtp_enabled = true smtp_server = mail.example.com smtp_replyto = myproj@projects.example.com smtp_always_cc = ticketmaster@example.com, theboss+myproj@example.com
