With the outgoing mail server set up, we are now able to send e-mails directly from JIRA. One common use case is to send out reminders such as system maintenance notices to everyone in JIRA, or sending important updates to members of a project. In this recipe, we will look at how to perform these types of tasks with JIRA.

Proceed with the following steps to send out direct e-mails to users in JIRA:
- Navigate to Administration | System | Send Email.

- Type in your e-mail subject and body.
- Check the Bcc checkbox if you do not want people to see other recipients' e-mail addresses.
- Click on the Send button to send the e-mail, as shown in the following screenshot:
