Configuring the Notify extension

[Reg Valgardena]

Hello list,

I have been trying to understand how to correctly configure the 
mercurial.ini file in order to make the "central" repository to notify a 
list of participants of an action happened (typically, a push). The 
situation is more or less so that a small group of developers push and 
pull changesets to and from a "central" repository. It would be great if 
the HG server on the central machine would notify each one from the list.

I tried to understand (and bring to action) the solution described on 
https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/NotifyExtension , but it seems that I 
do not quite understand it.

First of all, would it be correct to make the changes in mercurial.ini 
on the server machine? Client machines? If I am right that it should be 
the server, should the "[email] from =" be some email address connected 
with the server? And the smtp parameters such that the server can access 
them? What I do not understand, that is where the list of the addressees 
is? There is a "config = /full/path/to/subscription/file" mentioned, but 
what should it look like? A plain list of emails? Comma-separated? 
Breakline-separated?

I would be grateful for a working explanation but, better, an example of 
a mercurial.ini for this case and the format of the file containing the 
list of participants.

Thanks, RegV

PS. All machines involved work under Windows (Windows Server 12 and 
Windows 10).
