Redmine

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 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.
