How can I set up Hudson CI so that I can send out emails from the server following a build failure? At the moment all I get is the following error:

com.sun.mail.smtp.SMTPSendFailedException: 530 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first

One solution is to start Hudson as follows:

java -Dmail.smtp.starttls.enable="true" -jar /usr/share/hudson/hudson.war

However, I am already using the following to start Hudson:

sudo /etc/init.d/hudson start

I am thinking the solution is to somehow set the system property mail.smtp.starttls.enable in a property file somewhere, but I have no idea how to do that. What are my options?

Thank you all in advance!
