Good question :), but I think that whenever the e-mail is working it will stay working. I asked the question because I have no idea If the mail has been send or not. Great script by the way, but it’s not working for me yet. As soon I add one or more series in the TV section I got the error as I mentioned in issue number #43 When I empty the TV section it’s working. I hope you can help me

Greetings Marco

Question: do you not get an email on a success? By default, the script includes the Plex owner as well.

Some mail providers have issues with forward SMTP mail to the same account you are using for the relay, BTW. So it could be that you aren't seeing the success email because of that.

Upon further thought, you should be able to check to see if it failed or not if you use a different email than your own for SMTP. If it failed, well, thats why we have logging. I do not think this is a feature that will be supported.
