FishEye has a "watch" notification system that allows users to receive email notifications when commits are detected. Users can opt in for these notifications by "watching" a particular repository/activity stream. You can configure FishEye to enable or disable watches for all users for a specific repository or for all repositories.
Please note, if you want to enable watches for your repositories, you must configure a valid SMTP server.
