-Each %WIKITOOLNAME% web does an automatic email notification of recent changes. Users can subscribe / unsubscribe themselves in [[WebNotify]] of each TWiki web. The Perl script <code>**mailnotify**</code> is called by a deamon in regular intervals. The script is sending an automated email to subscribed users in case some topics changed in a web within this interval.
+Each TWiki web has an automatic email notification service that sends you an email with links to all of the topics modified since the last alert.

+- You can subscribe and unsubscribe yourself in [[WebNotify]] on each web. Changes are immediate.
 
-%WIKITOOLNAME% will use the <code>**Net::SMTP**</code> module in case it is installed on your system. You need to specify the <code>**SMTPMAILHOST**</code> variable in [[TWikiPreferences]].
-
-You can use an external mail program like <code>**sendmail**</code> in case the <code>**Net::SMTP**</code> module is not installed. In this case specify the <code>**$mailProgram**</code> in <code>**twiki/bin/TWiki.cfg**</code>.

-
-**For Unix platforms:** Edit the cron table so that <code>**mailnotify**</code> is called in an interval of your choice. Please consult <code>**man crontab**</code> of how to modify the table that schedules program execution at certain intervals. Example:
-
-    % crontab -e
-    15,45 * * * * (cd ~twiki/public_html/bin; ./mailnotify -q)
-
-The above line will call mailnotify at 15 minutes and 45 minutes past every hour. The <code>**-q**</code> switch suppresses all normal output.
-
-On Windows NT / 2000 you can use a scheduled task.

+- The frequency of alerts is set by the TWiki site administrator: it could be once a day, every hour, whatever works for the particular web.
+  - On TWiki.org, [[WebChangesAlerts]] are sent once a day.
