The Rational® DOORS® client can send notification emails of failed login attempts and updates to the status of change proposals. For example, a notification email can be sent to a user when one of their proposals is accepted or rejected. Emails that are sent by Rational DOORS always include the database name and the database URL.
Procedure
- On the General tab, in the SMTP mail server field, type the name of the SMTP mail server that you want the Rational DOORS client to use.
- Optional: In the mail account field, type the mail account that you want the SMTP mail server to use. If the SMTP server has security controls that require a user account in a valid format, type a mail account.
If you leave this field blank, Rational DOORS uses the default mail account smtp@doors. The default mail account does not exist and is not in a valid email format. It is used by Rational DOORS because some SMTP servers require user account authentication.
Email messages that are sent by the Rational DOORS client display "change proposal system for <projectname>" in the From field.
- Optional: In the Prefix e-mails with text field type alternative text to include in emails that are sent by Rational DOORS. By default, automatic emails have the prefix: The following is a notification message from Rational DOORS - please do not reply as it was sent from an unattended mailbox.
- Click OK.
