The IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(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 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 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, 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 DOORS
because some SMTP servers require user account authentication.
Email messages that are sent by
the 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 DOORS. By default, automatic emails have the prefix: The following is a notification
message from DOORS - please do not reply as it was sent from an unattended
mailbox.
- Click OK.
