add parameter to connectSMTP' to specify hostname #17

Closed mwotton closed 7 years ago

This is a bit of a strawman and it could quite possibly be done better: still, the essence is that I need to specify the hostname of the client sending it, or I get rejected by mail servers for not having an accurate RDNS. getHostname isn't enough, as many domains point to the box I'm using, and I think it's not safe in general to assume a machine has only one.

Changing the type of a publicly exposed function is a breaking change. I can merge as-is and bump the major version, or we can modify the PR to not change the existing interface and instead add a separate function for this.

hi @parsonsmatt! I'm happy with either, but don't have the time to redo the patch rn.

:+1: I'll merge your work and provide the alternate function, that way we won't have to do a breaking change.

thanks mate :)
