Send e-mail from TFS 2008

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

After installing tfs 2008 sp1 successfully, I found a problem.

I configurate the Project Alert correctly.

And update the web.config file on the server side -

XML

<add key="emailNotificationFromAddress" value="mymail" />
<add key="smtpServer" value="myservername" />

However I still cannot get e-mail after I did some check-in. :(

Is there anything else I can do?
Thanks, Jessie

Solution 2

I am sure that the server name and the address are valid.

Is there anything else?
