The repository administrator can automate the sending of emails for
passwords, changelist submissions, and other notifications to users by specifying an SMTP
server for PowerDesigner to use.
If an SMTP server is not specified, the administrator must distribute
passwords manually and notifications related to change lists cannot be sent. The
SMTP server can also be used to send change notifications from the PowerDesigner Portal (see Subscribing to Change Notifications).
