configurable email settings

[bcipriano]

Cuebot sends email in a variety of situations e.g. job completion, job failure. Some of code hardcodes SPI-specific things like imageworks email addresses, and other code assumes all users use a @imageworks.com email domain.

Hey Brian - is there any documentation or guidance on the admin tasks required to get cuebot to send email?

[bcipriano]

I don't think we have any docs on this at the moment.

I don't remember any update on this since I filed this issue a while back. I believe Cuebot still has the imageworks.com domain hardcoded, which needs some work to fix.

Aside from that, we will likely need to create some docs/sample config showing how one can set up their Cuebot instances with SMTP so email can actually be sent.

Along with the theme of configureable email settings, I would LOVE to have the ability to turn off email on a per job basis (maybe as a method on the returned job object)

@lamiller0 You can disable it with PyOutline

ol = OutlineLauncher(outline)
ol.set_flag("nomail", True)

Or just skip to put email to job spec.

Thanks, that was the hint I needed!
