Configuring Notifications
The mailConfig.xml configuration file maps mail notification recipients for the TAL process. This is an optional configuration but an important one, as it enables you to notify, for example, authors if there were data issues in the bundle processing. The administrator must configure the mail host and recipients interested in getting TAL notifications.
Notifications use aliases that are resolved from an attached configuration file. As part of the transform, automate, and load process, the stylesheet author can choose the alias to target when sending a notification.
During XSLT processing, notification messages are sent to a folder as files. During specific steps in the transform and load process, messages are sent to corresponding email recipients.
This configuration file is named mailConfig.xml.It is located at INSERVICE_CONFIG/Applications/ContentManager/Config/Common/Templates/TAL/TALNotification/mailConfig.xml.
To configure email notifications, complete the following steps in the mailConfig.xml file:
1. Enter the values for hosttype, hostname, and from.
Notifications are sent by the email entered in from setting.
2. Enter the value for alias and add the email addresses of all members in the alias.
3. Add multiple recipient elements for different aliases.

The transformation process generates notifications with admin as the alias.

Following is an example of the mailConfig.xml file:
<mailConfig hosttype="mail.smtp.host" hostname="mail-server.host.com" from="abc@xyz.com">
<recipient alias="author">author@ptc.com</recipient>
<recipient alias="admin">admintemp@ptc.com</recipient>
</mailConfig>
