You can configure the release server to send e-mail to
specific users when an event that is related to a deployment plan,
segment, or task occurs during a deployment. You can set the initial
SMTP options in the IBM® Installation
Manager during the installation process. You can change the options
at any time by editing the server.properties file. You must restart
the release server after editing the file.
Before you begin

- Configure an SMTP server to send messages.
- Specify the following properties in the server.properties file:
