Which email server should we use?

'smtp.server': 'CKAN_SMTP_SERVER',
    'smtp.starttls': 'CKAN_SMTP_STARTTLS',
    'smtp.user': 'CKAN_SMTP_USER',
    'smtp.password': 'CKAN_SMTP_PASSWORD',
    'smtp.mail_from': 'CKAN_SMTP_MAIL_FROM'

Works with GMail:

email_to = ME@gmail.com
error_email_from = datawagovau@catalogue.beta.data.wa.gov.au
smtp.server = smtp.gmail.com:587
smtp.starttls = True
smtp.user = ME@gmail.com
smtp.password = app specific password
smtp.mail_from = ME@gmail.com

Set up an app specific password following: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185833?hl=en&vid=0-635808375196764871-3698593085
used my gmail address for ME@gmail.com

Can be superseded with other SMTP settings. Didn't have the patience to configure local postfix securely enough to use with confidence.
