add an email address to the user account (not email account) for notifications #3

Closed scanner closed 1 year ago

When things fail due to misconfigurations, or transient failures we need a way to notify users. If we are forward messages, sending them email to their email account is not going to be of any use because we turned forwarding off!

So we want to associate an email address with the user account that owns the email account and use the email system configured in our django project to send them a notification.

When the user sets up their account we should tell them that if they are using a delivery method other than local delivery for their email account's then they should not use an email address hosted by this system, otherwise they may not get notification emails when there are problems (because we can not deliver their emails if that is the problem)
