Removing function 'send_email'

[deniszh]

It's insecure, not used in the code and undocumented.

Fixing #2008

Please also note that sending email from Dashboard is implemented in completely different commit 'e2a70d8' and not use 'send_email' function at all.

I know no reason removing this would cause a problem.

You also need to remove the call to this endpoint from inside of the UI, unless that UI component uses some newer logic.

That's a point - there's no call from UI exist. Or any other call. It looks like some abandoned piece of code, which was never used.

Which UI component? I find no callers of send_email.

It looks like we can also get rid of the SMTP_SERVER config setting, which isn't used anywhere else.

@DanCech : well... Dashboard have ability to send email, see e2a70d8

[deniszh]

It's probably also worth to backport it to 0.9.x and 1.0.x
Not sure should we make new releases for this branches... Maybe fixed branch should be enough.

Yes but that doesn't use that config setting, it uses the django EmailMessage class which is configured via the django EMAIL_* settings.

Ah, nice find then, @DanCech
Removed together with unused imports.
