# You can set up sSMTP by setting the following ENV variables:
#
# SSMTP_TO - This is the address alarms will be delivered to.
# SSMTP_SERVER - This is your SMTP server. Defaults to smtp.gmail.com.
# SSMTP_PORT - This is the SMTP server port. Defaults to 587.
# SSMTP_USER - This is your username for the SMTP server.
# SSMTP_PASS - This is your password for the SMTP server. Use an app password if using Gmail.
# SSMTP_TLS - Use TLS for the connection. Defaults to YES.
# SSMTP_HOSTNAME - The hostname mail will come from. Defaults to localhost.
#
# ... and an addition of SSMTP_FROM, which generates the aliases in
# the mail-out system, replacing USERNAME with the system username
# who is sending mail (root, www-data, whatever,...) and HOSTNAME
# to the effective `/etc/hostname` (env $HOSTNAME) value. More info
# about this is written up below.
#
# TODO: supposedly, ssmtp is not developed anymore. Somebody
# recommended `msmtp` as an alternative; ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
