spelling: use "email" consistently
The common English spelling is "email", not "e-mail" (and was indeed
also the most common, but not only, variant in the Kallithea UI).

.. _email: ============== Email settings ============== The Kallithea configuration file has several email related settings. When these contain correct values, Kallithea will send email in the situations described below. If the email configuration is not correct so that emails cannot be sent, all mails will show up in the log output. Before any email can be sent, an SMTP server has to be configured using the configuration file setting ``smtp_server``. If required for that server, specify a username (``smtp_username``) and password (``smtp_password``), a non-standard port (``smtp_port``), encryption settings (``smtp_use_tls`` or ``smtp_use_ssl``) and/or specific authentication parameters (``smtp_auth``). Application emails ------------------ Kallithea sends an email to `users` on several occasions: - when comments are given on one of their changesets - when comments are given on changesets they are reviewer on or on which they commented regardless - when they are invited as reviewer in pull requests - when they request a password reset Kallithea sends an email to all `administrators` upon new account registration. Administrators are users with the ``Admin`` flag set in the ``Admin->Users`` section. When Kallithea wants to send an email but due to an error cannot correctly determine the intended recipients, the administrators and the addresses specified in ``email_to`` in the configuration file are used as fallback. Recipients will see these emails originating from the sender specified in the ``app_email_from`` setting in the configuration file. This setting can either contain only an email address, like `kallithea-noreply@example.com`, or both a name and an address in the following format: `Kallithea <kallithea-noreply@example.com>`. The subject of these emails can optionally be prefixed with the value of ``email_prefix`` in the configuration file. Error emails ------------ When an exception occurs in Kallithea -- and unless interactive debugging is enabled using ``set debug = true`` in the ``[app:main]`` section of the configuration file -- an email with exception details is sent by WebError_'s ``ErrorMiddleware`` to the addresses specified in ``email_to`` in the configuration file. Recipients will see these emails originating from the sender specified in the ``error_email_from`` setting in the configuration file. This setting can either contain only an email address, like `kallithea-noreply@example.com`, or both a name and an address in the following format: `Kallithea Errors <kallithea-noreply@example.com>`. *Note:* The WebError_ package does not respect ``smtp_port`` and assumes the standard SMTP port (25). If you have a remote SMTP server with a different port, you could set up a local forwarding SMTP server on port 25.
