🚀 Feature: Configure SMTP via Environment Variables

Feature description

Ability to configure SMTP config via Environment variables

Pitch

It would be nice to be able to set the SMTP configuration from environment variables

Something like the below

Variable	Description
SMTP_HOST	Mailserver Host
SMTP_PORT	Port of the SMTP mail server
SMTP_USER	Username of the SMTP account you wish to send emails as
SMTP_PASSWORD	Password of the SMTP user you wish to send emails as
SMTP_TLS	Should SMTP use TLS
SMTP_SKIP_CERT_VALIDATION	Should validation on the SMTP certificate be validated

My use case comes as I am running this in Kubernetes, and I'd like to get as much config out the way in code as possible before logging in for the first time etc, also allows me to seamlessly rotate secrets in my secret manager of choice when it just restarts the pod when a k8s secret changes

I believe it’s more logical to allow all “Application Settings” to be defined via environment variables, rather than limiting this flexibility solely to SMTP configuration.

Yes I agree. I opened this issue whilst confirming SMTP haha!

But yes, I think being able to supply a yaml file or env variables would be preferable for all app settings
