• File www/alerts.md — part of check-in [09908ab058] at 2021-02-09 13:34:17 on branch trunk — The canonical Fossil homepage is now https://fossil-scm.org/home without the "www." in the domain and with the main path at /home, not /index.html or /fossil. Update all URLs in documentation to reflect this fact. (user: drh size: 29799) [more...]

### Method 2: Store in a Database

The self-hosting Fossil repository at <https://www.fossil-scm.org/>
The self-hosting Fossil repository at <https://fossil-scm.org/>
currently uses this method rather than [the pipe method](#pipe) because
it is running inside of a restrictive [chroot jail][cj] which is unable
to hand off messages to the local MTA directly.

When you configure a Fossil server this way, it adds outgoing email
messages to a SQLite database file.  A separate daemon process can then
extract those messages for further disposition.
