hyperpolymath smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 action.yml secure AUTH PLAIN STARTTLS
💡 Result:
There is no widely recognized GitHub Action specifically named hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action [1][2][3][4]. Research indicates that the user is likely referring to a workflow pattern used in repositories under the "hyperpolymath" organization, which utilizes the popular third-party action dawidd6/action-send-mail to handle email notifications [1][2][3][4]. In these implementations, the SMTP configuration typically follows this structure: - server_address: ${{ secrets.SMTP_HOST }} - server_port: ${{ secrets.SMTP_PORT }} - secure: true - username: ${{ secrets.SMTP_USER }} - password: ${{ secrets.SMTP_PASS }} Regarding your question about AUTH PLAIN and STARTTLS: 1. Security and STARTTLS: Setting secure: true in actions like action-send-mail generally instructs the client to establish a secure connection [5][6]. For SMTP, this often involves STARTTLS if the connection begins on a non-encrypted port (such as 587) and is subsequently upgraded, or implicit TLS if connecting on port 465 [5][7][8]. 2. AUTH PLAIN: It is a standard security practice that AUTH PLAIN should only be performed after a secure, encrypted transport layer (STARTTLS or implicit TLS) has been established [9][10][11]. Modern SMTP libraries and GitHub Actions that implement this correctly will refuse to send credentials over an unencrypted connection to prevent credential leakage [9]. 3. Configuration: If you are encountering issues with AUTH PLAIN, ensure that your SMTP provider's requirements for STARTTLS are met before the authentication handshake occurs [10][11]. You may need to verify that your chosen port and security settings are compatible with your SMTP server's expected connection flow [7][8]. If you are developing a custom action or tool and referencing version 0.2.0, ensure that your implementation explicitly handles the STARTTLS upgrade command before issuing the AUTH PLAIN command to ensure credentials remain secure [9][10].

Verify the SMTP endpoint before merging this replacement.
hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action@v0.2.0 uses implicit TLS when secure: true, supports AUTH PLAIN, and does not implement STARTTLS. If the protected SMTP endpoint requires STARTTLS or another authentication mechanism, this job can fail for each enabled push. Confirm the endpoint contract before merging, or select an action with the required support.
