You can also change the notification configuration later manually by using the following procedures, if necessary. 

To change to no email notifications

1. Navigate to <InstallationPath>/releases/4.3.01/<BRPM_Pacth>/WEB-INF/config, open the smtp_settings.rb file in a text editor, and delete the following line, if it exists:
   config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
2. At the same file comment out the configure_mail_with_gmail(config)and configure_mail_without_gmail(config) lines by putting the # symbol at the beginning of the line, as in the following example:
   #configure_mail_with_gmail(config)
   #configure_mail_without_gmail(config)
3. Save and close the file.
4. Restart the server.

To change to SMTP email notifications

1. Copy the smtp_settings.default.rb file to smtp_settings.rb in the <InstallationPath>/releases/4.3.01/<BRPM_Pacth>/WEB-INF/config folder.
2. Navigate to <InstallationPath>/releases/4.3.01/<BRPM_Pacth>/WEB-INF/config, open the smtp_settings.rb file in a text editor, and add the following line under the line def configure_mail(config), if it does not already exist:
   config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp

3. Open the smtp_settings.rb file in a text editor and update the parameters in the configure_mail_without_gmail method:

   :address => <SMTP_SERVER>,
   :port => <SMTP_PORT>,
   :domain => <SMTP_DOMAIN>
   

    

   Based on your SMTP server configuration, you might need to append additional parameters for SMTP settings:

    

   :authentication => <SMTP_AUTH>,  #(Options are -  none, plain, login, cram_md5)
           :user_name => <SMTP_USER>,
           :password => <SMTP_PASSWORD>,
           :enable_starttls_auto => <SMTP_TLS> #(Options are -  true, false)
   

   Warning

   Parameters and values are case-sensitive.

4. Uncomment the following line (remove the # character before the code line):
   configure_mail_without_gmail(config)
5. Save and close the file.
6. Restart the server.
