Email user that broke build in Teamcity

Question

In Husdon/Jenkins, I can setup notifications when the build is broken to email the user(s) that made the checkins that broke the build. How do I do this in Teamcity?

I am aware that individual users can setup email notifications for themselves via the Teamcity interface (for when the build is broken), but I ONLY want emails sent to the users that broke the build, also I don't want the requirement that every individual user have to update their Teamcity settings.

Teamcity 6.0 Enterprise .. seems like the only solution will be to make a custom notifer — vicsz
or upgrade if you still have an active subscription. (or for free if you have less than 20 builds confs, other restrictions have fallen) — ashwoods
Does 6.5 support explicitly emailing the person that broke the build (irrelevant of roles/groups)? — vicsz
yes it does: i think it is set up that way out of the box, but you can just set it up in group everybody, which everybody is a member of by default. — ashwoods

Open TeamCity in your browser.
Browse to Administration > Users and Groups > Groups
Click on the group name All Users
Select the tab Notification Rules (you see the Email notifier rules by default)
Click on Add new rule
choose in the column Watch the option Builds affected by my changes
choose in the column Send notification when the checkbox The build fails and Ignore failures not caused by my changes
Save this new notification rule with klick on the Save button.

A notification rule created that way works for all users. That's because the notification rule was created in the administration section within the group All Users, and not within one users personal notification settings. This works also in earlier versions of TeamCity, e.g. in 5.x.

The user still has the option to define additional rules if needed.
