[14:45:33] <arturo>	 I would like to send an email from a gitlab CI/CD pipeline
[14:45:49] <arturo>	 do you know if using `echo something | sendmail` "just works"? :-)
[14:46:43] <dancy>	 Definitely not
[14:47:11] <dancy>	 Email... that's a tough one.
[14:48:24] <dancy>	 Unfortunately I don't have any immediate suggestions on how to deal with that.
[14:51:45] <arturo>	 dancy: I was naively trying to implement this:
[14:51:46] <arturo>	 https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/cloud/cloud-vps/networktests-tofu-provisioning/-/blob/main/.gitlab-ci.yml#L33
[15:17:10] <bd808>	 arturo: from a WMCS runner I think you should be able to talk to the mx-out-{a,b}.wmcloud.org hosts. https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Email_in_Cloud_VPS#Using_Cloud_VPS_smtp_servers
[15:19:02] <bd808>	 You could also think about making a Phabricator task that would then have Phab notify subscribers or something similar.
[15:36:37] <arturo>	 bd808: thanks. Also, it would be the cherry on top if that page mentioned a particular `sendmail` command that I could just copy-paste
[15:37:12] <bd808>	 `sendmail` requires a binary and config that generally we don't put in containers
[15:37:57] <arturo>	 or maybe bare `mail` ?
[15:40:55] <bd808>	 I don't know that `mail` can speak SMTP itself either. I think it is usually just a MUA used to hand things off to a local MTA.
[15:41:19] <bd808>	 MUA=mail user agent; MTA=mail transfer agent
[15:41:49] <bd808>	 email is a lot of raccoons in a trench coat.
[15:44:01] <bd808>	 I wonder if python's smtplib has a module entry point for sending messages...
[15:45:38] <bd808>	 Apparently not, but there is a reasonably short example of how to use it at https://docs.python.org/3/library/smtplib.html#smtp-example
[16:59:01] <mutante>	 cat <<EOF | /usr/bin/mail -r "${sndr_address}" -s "Phabricator quarterly statistics - ${lastquarter}" -a "Auto-Submitted: auto-generated" ${rcpt_address}
[16:59:10] <mutante>	 BLABLA
[16:59:11] <mutante>	 EOF
[16:59:37] <mutante>	 this is what works in production. but yes, it delivers it to the MTA on localhost
[17:00:32] <mutante>	 maybe it's helpful regardless. this is the newer "mail" command. as in "mailx". The Debian package is "bsd-mailx" and it replaced the old mail command and sendmail
[17:01:45] <mutante>	 arturo: nowadays the /usr/bin/mail command is provided by this bsd-mailx package
[17:03:19] <mutante>	 also "s-nail".  apt-cache show s-nail | apt-cache show bsd-mailx
[17:05:15] <mutante>	 yea, it's actually the s-nail package we installed on prod phab and dumps hosts for this.
