ACCEPTANCE When e-mail notifications are configured (and my id has an e-mail associated)

[ ] When my bagit export is done, I get an e-mail

This will work if ActionMailer is configured, but it requires that sendmail is set up on the server, or some smtp credentials are setup in the environment:

Do we know if MPLSFed has sendmail installed on the server?
If we wanted to use an smtp account we would need a way of deploying a password with an env variable on that server.

I just heard back from Janelle and we don't need to test e-mail right now since they're not using it.

Q: Do you have e-mail notification set up and should folks be notified by e-mail when their export is ready for download? - see E-mail notifications #223 - we won’t bother with this if you don’t have e-mail notifications configured, you’d need to have the mailer on your server setup and configured for Hyrax. Let me know if you want to talk about this more

A: We don’t have email configured and due to security rules probably never will. Since we’re a small staff, I think the person who will be using this can remember to check. If/when this expands to other Feds I may figure out a way to let the email server set up.
