Related to PR #60 (thank you for that by the way!) that add the possibility to use a smtp server without authentication when using a self-hosted runner. We can see a warning message here when using the action in the log output:
and also in the Annotations section of the workflow run summary:
Warning message:
Username and password not specified. You should only do this if you are using a self-hosted runner to access an on-premise mail server.
Problem
Normally, a warning message indicates something that should be fixed. Here there is nothing to fix since it's ok to use in certain condition a smtp server without authentication (when using self-hosted runner for example). In the end the user who uses the action will be tricked by the warning message since there is nothing to do to fix that.
