Integrate email groups into CSHC site/database #225

Part of the migration away from GroupSpaces

Use our own mail server. Integrate rules etc into the admin interface so anyone can edit them.

GS doesn’t use nested mailing lists, I presume to prevent delivery loops. It does allow you to add players to lists based on database criteria though, e.g. if “Squad” includes “M1” then add to the Men’s 1s list. What it doesn’t do, which would be handy is allow the use of multiple criteria, but I presume because that was more complicated to implement!

Re: nested mailing lists, yep - we prob couldn't do it like men@cambridgesouthhockeyclub.co.uk includes the email address m1@cambridgesouthhockeyclub.co.uk. I was thinking more that we'd have logic that said merge all addresses in the M1 list when determining the Men's list. But this may be an unneccessary complication if we just use logic such as Include all users who are in the M1s Squad when creating the M1s email list etc.

Even then its tricky because SquadMembership references Members (not Users - to which email addresses are attached). This issue might prompt us to re-think how we deal with Members/Players/Users. Although this would be a big upheaval!
