VisualSVN Server includes simple Subversion hook for email notifications.

To enable it email notifications on every commit please do the following:

1. Start VisualSVN Server Manager
2. Open Properties for your repository
3. Select Hooks tab
4. Edit the Post-commit hook
5. Enter the following command into the hook editor replacing parameters with valid values.

   "%VISUALSVN_SERVER%\bin\VisualSVNServerHooks.exe" ^
       commit-notification "%1" -r %2 ^
       --from <from-email> --to <to-email> ^
       --smtp-server <smtp-server>  
   

There are following options for the commit-notification command:

Option	Meaning
-r [--revision] ARG	Specifies revision number.
--from ARG	Specifies FROM e-mail address for commit notifications.
--to ARG	Specifies TO e-mail address for commit notifications.
--smtp-server ARG	Specifies the SMTP server.
--smtp-port ARG	Specifies the SMTP server port. By default port 25 will be used.
--smtp-user ARG	Specifies the user name that will be used to connect SMTP server.
--smtp-password <password>	Specifies the password that will be used to connect SMTP server.
--smtp-ssl	Enables usage of SSL when connecting SMTP server. By default the SSL protocol is disabled.
--no-diffs	Do not include the difference of changes in the email.
--encoding <encoding>	Specifies encoding that is used to store text files (commit notifications e-mails will be sent in UTF-8). For example --encoding ISO-8859-1. Current locale settings will be used by default.

Warning Email notification ignores access rights set for accounts. It sends all commits to the specified address. You can add your own logic to the hook script if you need to limit commits that should be sent.
