In order to send messages through a Gmail account (also applicable to Google Apps accounts) add the following parts to your config files:

Files:

gitlab.yml

## Email settings
# Email address used in the "From" field in mails sent by GitLab
email_from: youruser@yourdomain.com

production.rb

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.perform_deliveries = true
config.action_mailer.raise_delivery_errors = true

config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
  :address              => 'smtp.gmail.com',
  :port                 => 587,
  :domain               => 'gmail.com',
  :user_name            => 'youruser@yourdomain.com',
  :password             => 'password',

  :enable_starttls_auto => true
}

after config,need to reastart which servcices?and the domain name is must?

Restart the GitLab service - (ubuntu : # service gitlab resrtart )

@JanWen this assumes you're using Google Apps. That's why it says @yourdomain.com. If you're not using Google Apps then @yourdomain.com is just @gmail.com.
