[–] majewsky 8y ago ↗ I use XMPP for this purpose: https://github.com/majewsky/xmpp-bridgeService units then look like this: https://github.com/majewsky/system-configuration/blob/master... (the "with-xmpp-bridge" helper script is near the top of the same file)The advantage of XMPP is that it can interactively ask me for confirmation, e.g. when installing upgrades, and that an XMPP server like Prosody is vastly simpler to set up than a mail server.
