Configuration

SMTP

To route outbound email (i.e. automated notifications), Sourcehut needs to run alongside some MTA.

If a mail server is running locally, a valid option is to connect without encryption or authentication. 

[mail]
smtp-host=localhost
smtp-port=25
smtp-from=root@localhost
smtp-encryption=insecure
smtp-auth=none

If encryption is necessary, try: 

smtp-encryption=starttls

If authentication is necessary, try: 

smtp-auth=plain
smtp-user=myuser
smtp-password=mypassword

PGP

Sourcehut requires a PGP key to send mail by SMTP. 

pgp-privkey=/etc/sr.ht/pgp.key
pgp-pubkey=/etc/sr.ht/pgp.pubkey
pgp-key-id=KEYID

The private key must be password-less. For instructions on exporting keys to files and removing passwords from keys, see GPG.
