Wanted to ask this here before raising an issue on Github. Is there a reason the EmailTask cannot send emails via an internal SMTP server, without SSL?

Hey @Jessica Smith, sorry not too familiar with this myself but what is the alternative to SSL?

No security - but it's sent on the internal network so it doesn't go over the internet. Here's a very simple implementation that I'm using

import smtplib

from email.message import EmailMessage

def send_email(subject, body, from_addr=None,to_addr=None):

    

smtp_obj = smtplib.SMTP("internal_smtp_server")

    

msg = EmailMessage()

    

msg.set_content(body)

    

msg['Subject'] = subject

    

msg['From'] = from_addr

    

msg['To'] = to_addr

    

msg_t = <http://msg.as|msg.as>_string()

    

smtp_obj.sendmail(msg['From'], msg['To'].split(';'), msg_t)

Ah I see what you mean. I would say in general 80+% of our task library is community contributed, so take them more as suggestions. I do think this makes sense though and we’d gladly accept a PR to send emails with no security. It looks like it’ll be a lot easier for you to just wrap this as a task.

yeah, that's what i'm doing currently, but doing that and sharing it between different scripts means i have to manage the imports differently. i'll look at doing a PR for it if I have time. thanks Kevin
