Replaces dawidd6/action-send-mail with hyperpolymath/smtp-notify-action v0.2.0 (ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7) per the 2026-09-02 ruling; file is the rsr-template-repo canonical (dormant gating on vars.PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED unchanged). regime=no-lock changed=.github/workflows/push-email-notify.yml, Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
📝 SummarySummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe workflow now runs for branch pushes, prevents cancellation between concurrent runs, limits notification jobs to five minutes, removes the Actions read permission, and uses a pinned SMTP notification action. ChangesPush Email Workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The updated workflow may send incomplete emails for branch deletions or fail notifications entirely if the existing SMTP endpoint requires STARTTLS or unsupported authentication. These compatibility issues should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge. Poem

GitHub Actions push event branches filter branch deletion github.event.deleted head_commit null official documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, the push event is triggered not only when commits are pushed, but also when a branch is created or deleted [1][2]. When a branch is deleted, the push event payload includes a deleted field set to true, and the head_commit field is set to null [2][3]. To filter out workflows triggered by branch deletions, you can use a conditional if expression in your workflow or job definition [1]. Example filter for a job: jobs: build: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "This job runs only on non-deletion push events." When a branch is deleted, GitHub Actions does not provide a direct branch-name filter on the push event to exclude these. However, because the push event payload explicitly marks the event as a deletion (github.event.deleted == true), checking this in an if condition effectively prevents your logic from executing for deletions [1][3]. Alternatively, if you specifically want to react to branch deletions, you should use the delete event trigger, which is distinct from the push event [4][5]. You can filter for branch deletions specifically using the github.event.ref_type property: on: delete: jobs: on-delete: if: ${{ github.event.ref_type == 'branch' }} runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - run: echo "Branch ${{ github.event.ref }} was deleted." Note that the delete event only triggers if the workflow file is present on the default branch of the repository [6].

Exclude branch-deletion events from the notification job.
branches: ['**'] permits branch-deletion push events. These events set github.event.deleted to true and set head_commit to null, so the workflow can send an incomplete email. Add !github.event.deleted to the job condition if deletion notifications are not required.

hyperpolymath smtp-notify-action ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7 v0.2.0 secure STARTTLS AUTH PLAIN Microsoft 365
💡 Result:
The string "ede1191ef6ff3ac02c4f4d9efdf837ee517e11d7" appears to be a specific commit hash (or a fragment thereof), but it does not correspond to a known software tool named "smtp-notify-action" under the "hyperpolymath" organization [1][2][3][4][5]. The "hyperpolymath" GitHub organization uses a "push-email-notify.yml" workflow that utilizes the third-party GitHub Action "dawidd6/action-send-mail" to handle SMTP notifications [1][2][3][4]. Regarding the technical challenge of using Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online) with SMTP AUTH: Microsoft 365 has retired Basic Authentication for SMTP client submission, requiring the use of Modern Authentication (OAuth) [6]. Attempting to use "AUTH PLAIN" with Microsoft 365 will typically fail with a "504 5.7.4 Unrecognized authentication type" error, as the service advertises "AUTH LOGIN" and "XOAUTH2" but not "AUTH PLAIN" [7][8]. If you are encountering this error while configuring an SMTP notification service: 1. OAuth Requirement: You must update your application or client to support OAuth for SMTP authentication [6]. Standard "AUTH PLAIN" or "AUTH LOGIN" with a password will no longer work for Microsoft 365 tenants where Basic Authentication is disabled [6]. 2. SMTP AUTH Setting: Ensure that SMTP AUTH is enabled for the specific mailbox being used, which can be configured via the Microsoft 365 admin center or Exchange Online PowerShell using the Set-CASMailbox command [9]. 3. Alternative Solutions: If you cannot implement OAuth, Microsoft recommends using alternatives such as High Volume Email for Microsoft 365 or Azure Communication Services for Email [6]. The hashes and strings referenced in your query do not appear to point to an existing public utility or project related to "smtp-notify-action" [10][11][12][13][14].

Verify that SMTP_HOST uses implicit TLS on SMTP_PORT 465 and supports AUTH PLAIN.
This workflow sets secure: true, which selects implicit TLS. STARTTLS endpoints, normally on port 587, will fail because this action does not implement STARTTLS. Microsoft 365 also cannot authenticate with this action. Confirm the stored SMTP endpoint before enabling notifications.
