DevSupport: automate the setup and/or configuration of an SMTP server #487

Open sbarber2 opened 2 months ago

sbarber2 commented 2 months ago

What: automate the setup and/or configuration of an SMTP server Why: To eliminate reliance on Dreamhost mail server for both project environment independence and security (don't pass someone's credentials around).

simsong commented 2 months ago

I don't see how it can be automated. It requires having a SMTP server, username and password. Do you want a CLI that asks the user for these questions?

sbarber2 commented 2 months ago

I don't know if it can (or should be) fully automated (given the security issues around the credentials themselves).

But it could be more automated or at least more precisely documented.

It's also probably a worthy goal to not have to rely on the DreamHost SMTP server indefinitely for all PlantTracer development.

I don't think that it can be automated at all
