Hi Dan,

Thanks for your replying:)

I am very sorry that in 'http://fossology.org/user_documentation'--> 'How
to use Email Notification'
It says v1.1.0 had this feture. I am not note these information...

But when I enter into 'http://fossology.org/user_documentation', it says
                                                                       
 'This page provides an index of                                       
 FOSSology user documentation for                                      
 Version 1.0.'                                                         
                                                                       

on the top of this page, so I do not take notice of the message in 'how to
use Email Notification'...

And in install instruction, it says:
* sendmail - for sending notification emails (optional)
   If you want to be able to receive notification emails about
   fossology processing, you need an /usr/sbin/sendmail command that
   fossology can use to send mail. All mail transport agents(MTA) (like
   postfix, exim, sendmail, etc.) provide this command and you probably
   already have it on your system, but you may need to configure the
   MTA to be able to send the mail where you want it to go.
Does it relate with email notification or other feature?

By the way, when v1.1.0 plan to release?
Thanks very much:)

Regards,
Alice

I have created a new documentation page to address this. It is online here:

  http://fossology.org/fossology_analysis_agents

Please let me know if there is more information we should include here in
future.

I looked in the documentation and I did not find anyplace that said "email
notify" was available in 1.0.0.  Alice, can you provide a link if this was
found in the online documentation?  It is definitely available in version
1.1.0 but not before.  I'm sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,
Dan
