detroit-email - send out customizable email announcement
The Email plug-in for Detroit can send out release announcements, or other
messages during the standard promote stop.
file - If the body of the message is in a file use this option
to set the path to that file relative to the project's root
directory.
subject - The subject of the message. Defaults to a typical
release announcement subject of "ANN: {title} {version}".
mailto/to - List of email addresses to whom to email.
from - Email address from whom.
server - Email host url.
port - Emails server port. The default is usually correct.
account - Email account name (defaults to from).
domain - User domain (not sure why SMTP requires this).
login - Login type. Can be either plain or login.
secure - Use TLS/SSL, true or false?
parts - List of components of the announcement. This will be
used to construct the message as long as file or message are
not used. Recognizes values are readme, message, description,
resources, notes and changes.
noenv - Do not use environment variables for email defaults.
Most of the options default to environment variables (unless noenv is used).
EMAIL_SERVEREMAIL_FROMEMAIL_ACCOUNTEMAIL_PORTEMAIL_DOMAINEMAIL_LOGINEMAIL_SECUREEMAIL_PASSWORDNote that if EMAIL_PASSWORD is not set in the environment, then the user will be prompted for it on the command line when it is required.
Usually the use case is send out a release announcement, and in that case the default configuration suffices. So, the typical example is as simple as:
announce:
service: email
mailto:
