| 19 | | * '''smtp_enabled''': Enable email notification. |
| 20 | | * '''smtp_server''': SMTP server used for notification messages. |
| 21 | | * '''smtp_port''': (''since 0.9'') Port used to contact the SMTP server. |
| 22 | | * '''smtp_user''': (''since 0.9'') User name for authentication SMTP account. |

| 27 | | * '''smtp_default_domain''': (''since 0.10'') Append the specified domain to addresses that do not contain one. Fully qualified addresses are not modified. The default domain is appended to all username/login for which an email address cannot be found from the user settings. |
| 28 | | * '''smtp_always_cc''': List of email addresses to always send notifications to. ''Typically used to post ticket changes to a dedicated mailing list.'' |
| 29 | | * '''smtp_always_bcc''': (''since 0.10'') List of email addresses to always send notifications to, but keeps addresses not visible from other recipients of the notification email |
| 30 | | * '''smtp_subject_prefix''': (''since 0.10.1'') Text that is inserted before the subject of the email. Set to "!__default!__" by default. |
| 31 | | * '''always_notify_reporter''': Always send notifications to any address in the reporter field (default: false). |
| 32 | | * '''always_notify_owner''': (''since 0.9'') Always send notifications to the address in the owner field (default: false). |

| 34 | | * '''use_public_cc''': (''since 0.10'') Addresses in To: (owner, reporter) and Cc: lists are visible by all recipients (default is ''Bcc:'' - hidden copy). |
| 35 | | * '''use_short_addr''': (''since 0.10'') Enable delivery of notifications to addresses that do not contain a domain (i.e. do not end with ''@<domain.com>'').This option is useful for intranets, where the SMTP server can handle local addresses and map the username/login to a local mailbox. See also `smtp_default_domain`. Do not use this option with a public SMTP server. |

| 37 | | * '''mime_encoding''': (''since 0.10'') E-mail notifications are always sent in 7-bit mode. This option allows to select the MIME encoding scheme. Supported values: |
| 38 | | * `base64`: default value, works with any kind of content. May cause some issues with touchy anti-spam/anti-virus engines. |
| 39 | | * `qp` or `quoted-printable`: best for european languages (more compact than base64), not recommended for non-ASCII text (less compact than base64) |
| 40 | | * `none`: no encoding. Use with plain english only (ASCII). E-mails with non-ASCII chars won't be delivered. |
| 41 | | |
| 42 | | Either '''smtp_from''' or '''smtp_replyto''' (or both) ''must'' be set, otherwise Trac refuses to send notification mails. |

| 44 | | === Example Configuration === |

| | 44 | * '''`mime_encoding`''': (''since 0.10'') This option allows selecting the MIME encoding scheme. Supported values: |
| | 45 | * `none`: default value, uses 7bit encoding if the text is plain ASCII, or 8bit otherwise. |

| | 51 | * `SendmailEmailSender`: runs a `sendmail`-compatible executable. |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | Either '''`smtp_from`''' or '''`smtp_replyto`''' (or both) ''must'' be set, otherwise Trac refuses to send notification mails. |
| | 54 | |
| | 55 | The following options are specific to email delivery through SMTP. |
| | 56 | * '''`smtp_server`''': SMTP server used for notification messages. |
| | 57 | * '''`smtp_port`''': (''since 0.9'') Port used to contact the SMTP server. |

| | 62 | The following option is specific to email delivery through a `sendmail`-compatible executable. |
| | 63 | * '''`sendmail_path`''': (''since 0.12'') Path to the sendmail executable. The sendmail program must accept the `-i` and `-f` options. |
| | 64 | |
| | 65 | === Example Configuration (SMTP) === |
| | 75 | === Example Configuration (`sendmail`) === |
| | 76 | {{{ |
| | 77 | [notification] |
| | 78 | smtp_enabled = true |
| | 79 | email_sender = SendmailEmailSender |
| | 80 | sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail |
| | 81 | smtp_from = notifier@example.com |
| | 82 | smtp_replyto = myproj@projects.example.com |
| | 83 | smtp_always_cc = ticketmaster@example.com, theboss+myproj@example.com |
| | 84 | }}} |
| | 85 | |
| | 86 | === Customizing the e-mail subject === |
| | 87 | The e-mail subject can be customized with the `ticket_subject_template` option, which contains a [http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/text-templates.html Genshi text template] snippet. The default value is: |
| | 88 | {{{ |
| | 89 | $prefix #$ticket.id: $summary |
| | 90 | }}} |
| | 91 | The following variables are available in the template: |
| | 92 | |
| | 93 | * `env`: The project environment (see [trac:source:/trunk/trac/env.py env.py]). |
| | 94 | * `prefix`: The prefix defined in `smtp_subject_prefix`. |
| | 95 | * `summary`: The ticket summary, with the old value if the summary was edited. |
| | 96 | * `ticket`: The ticket model object (see [trac:source:/trunk/trac/ticket/model.py model.py]). Individual ticket fields can be addressed by appending the field name separated by a dot, e.g. `$ticket.milestone`. |
| | 97 | |
| | 98 | === Customizing the e-mail content === |
| | 99 | |
| | 100 | The notification e-mail content is generated based on `ticket_notify_email.txt` in `trac/templates`. You can add your own version of this template by adding a `ticket_notify_email.txt` to the templates directory of your environment. The default looks like this: |
| | 101 | |
| | 102 | {{{ |
| | 103 | $ticket_body_hdr |
| | 104 | $ticket_props |
| | 105 | {% choose ticket.new %}\ |
| | 106 | {% when True %}\ |
| | 107 | $ticket.description |
| | 108 | {% end %}\ |
| | 109 | {% otherwise %}\ |
| | 110 | {% if changes_body %}\ |
| | 111 | ${_('Changes (by %(author)s):', author=change.author)} |
| | 112 | |
| | 113 | $changes_body |
| | 114 | {% end %}\ |
| | 115 | {% if changes_descr %}\ |
| | 116 | {% if not changes_body and not change.comment and change.author %}\ |
| | 117 | ${_('Description changed by %(author)s:', author=change.author)} |
| | 118 | {% end %}\ |
| | 119 | $changes_descr |
| | 120 | -- |
| | 121 | {% end %}\ |
| | 122 | {% if change.comment %}\ |
| | 123 | |
| | 124 | ${changes_body and _('Comment:') or _('Comment (by %(author)s):', author=change.author)} |
| | 125 | |
| | 126 | $change.comment |
| | 127 | {% end %}\ |
| | 128 | {% end %}\ |
| | 129 | {% end %}\ |
| | 130 | |
| | 131 | -- |
| | 132 | ${_('Ticket URL: <%(link)s>', link=ticket.link)} |
| | 133 | $project.name <${project.url or abs_href()}> |
| | 134 | $project.descr |
| | 135 | }}} |
| | 162 | |
| | 163 | == Customizing e-mail content for MS Outlook == |
| | 164 | |
| | 165 | Out-of-the-box, MS Outlook normally presents plain text e-mails with a variable-width font; the ticket properties table will most certainly look like a mess in MS Outlook. This can be fixed with some customization of the [#Customizingthee-mailcontent e-mail template]. |
| | 166 | |
| | 167 | Replace the following second row in the template: |
| | 168 | {{{ |
| | 169 | $ticket_props |
| | 170 | }}} |
| | 171 | |
| | 172 | with this instead (''requires Python 2.6 or later''): |
| | 173 | {{{ |
| | 174 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| | 175 | {% with |
| | 176 | pv = [(a[0].strip(), a[1].strip()) for a in [b.split(':') for b in |
| | 177 | [c.strip() for c in |
| | 178 | ticket_props.replace('|', '\n').splitlines()[1:-1]] if ':' in b]]; |
| | 179 | sel = ['Reporter', 'Owner', 'Type', 'Status', 'Priority', 'Milestone', |
| | 180 | 'Component', 'Severity', 'Resolution', 'Keywords'] %}\ |
| | 181 | ${'\n'.join('%s\t%s' % (format(p[0]+':', ' <12'), p[1]) for p in pv if p[0] in sel)} |
| | 182 | {% end %}\ |
| | 183 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| | 184 | }}} |
| | 185 | |
| | 186 | The table of ticket properties is replaced with a list of a selection of the properties. A tab character separates the name and value in such a way that most people should find this more pleasing than the default table, when using MS Outlook. |
| | 187 | {{{#!div style="margin: 1em 1.75em; border:1px dotted" |
| | 188 | {{{#!html |

| | 219 | }}} |
| | 220 | }}} |
| | 221 | |
| | 222 | **Important**: Only those ticket fields that are listed in `sel` are part of the HTML mail. If you have defined custom ticket fields which shall be part of the mail they have to be added to `sel`, example: |
| | 223 | {{{ |
| | 224 | sel = ['Reporter', ..., 'Keywords', 'Custom1', 'Custom2'] |
| | 225 | }}} |
| | 226 | |
| | 227 | However, it's not as perfect as an automatically HTML-formatted e-mail would be, but presented ticket properties are at least readable by default in MS Outlook... |
