send emails

[prjemian]

One thing I was also thinking: is it possible to send out an email from Bluesky when a scan crashed or hung?

Yes. See EmailNotifications(). (edited) This example is now in the docs:

from apstools.utils import EmailNotifications

SENDER_EMAIL = "8idiuser@aps.anl.gov"
email_notices = EmailNotifications(SENDER_EMAIL)
email_notices.add_addresses(
    "joe.user@anl.gov",
    "instrument_team@aps.anl.gov",
    # others?
)

# then, when some condition occurs
if feedback_limits_approached:
    subject = "Feedback problem"
    message = "Feedback is very close to its limits."
    email_notices.send(subject, message)

@prjemian This email function doesn't seem to be working (No email was sent during #233, for example)?
