           email {
             properties {
               "mail.smtp.auth" = "true"   # "true" when user/pass provided   
               "mail.smtp.starttls.enable" = "false"   # use "true" for TLS
             }
             sender = "<EMAIL_SENDER_ADDRESS>"
             server {
               protocol = "smtp"
               host =  "<SMTP_SERVER_HOST>"
               port = 25
               username = "XXX"      # optional
               password = "XXX"      # optional
             }
           }
