📚 Documentation Update

Adds a Groundmail section to the SMTP server guides (docs/SMTP.md), after Brevo and in the same shape: setup steps and the NetAlertX settings block.


📝 What’s Changed?

  • New ## Groundmail section in docs/SMTP.md with SMTP_SERVER='smtp.groundmail.dev', port 587 (2525 if 587 is blocked), STARTTLS (SMTP_SKIP_TLS=False, SMTP_FORCE_SSL=False) and login with user groundmail and an SMTP credential as the password.

🔍 Related Issue(s)

None.


✅ Checklist

  • I followed the formatting/style of existing documentation
  • I have read the Contribution Guidelines
  • I updated mkdocs.yml if necessary (not needed: existing page)
  • I verified links and references still work
  • I checked that my changes improve clarity, structure, or accuracy
  • I'm open to feedback and suggestions

🙋 Additional Notes

Tested by sending real mail with the same call sequence as server/plugins/_publisher_email/email_smtp.py (smtplib.SMTP(server, port) → ehlo → starttls → ehlo → login → sendmail with a Name <address> SMTP_REPORT_FROM) on port 587 and on port 2525: both returned 250 OK: message queued.

Groundmail SMTP docs: https://docs.groundmail.dev/smtp

Disclosure: I work on Groundmail.

Summary by CodeRabbit

    • Added a Groundmail SMTP setup guide with steps for verifying a domain and creating an SMTP credential.
    • The guide notes that recipient restrictions apply until a payment method is added and explains how to configure SMTP with port 587, or port 2525 if outbound traffic on 587 is blocked.

- Line 48: Update the sending restriction in the SMTP documentation to
distinguish the sandbox before domain verification from the period after
verification but before payment: allow a verified-domain sender to send to the
account email, and state that a payment method is required for other recipients.
