Hello,

How knows which settings should I put on config.py in order to receive email notifications.

mailUser = "yourusename"
mailPassword = "yourmailpassword"

notifyAddress ="some.email@gmail.com"

fromAddress = "some.email@gmail.com"

The mailUser and mailPassword parameters refer to which mail service? Should I need to implement some sort of mail server on the RapberryPi. If yes, what's the recommended one?

Regards
Jorge Domingos
