Email Notifications

Email notifications can be used to send emails to a list of email addresses in the event of a check returning a warning or failure. Emails can be slower to receive over other notification types such as Slack or Discord messages, but can provide a useful fallback.

Email notifications require access to a valid SMTP host to relay the notifications through, this is not provided by EndPoint Monitor.
