How to enable email/notification settings in OpenKM ( document management system)

We are using OpenKM as our knowledge management system. To enable notification/email generation we need to do only one change in xml file. We are using SMTP server as mail server.



1) go to

$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/mail-service.xml


2) Change only the highlighted portion with your mail server.
