[[]]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, by re-enabling the authentication and configuring the domain, [[http://www.essayontime.com|essay]], 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.
