Email notification when update is available

Why is it interesting?

Modoboa is an active project and new versions (core and/or plugins) are released often. Today, the only ways to be informed about new releases are:

• Through the web interface: a little bell on the top right corner warns you but you must be logged in as administrator, which is not always the case
• By manually checking the official website or Github

Sending an email to postmaster@ listing all available updates would make the process easier and would avoid too complex upgrades, for example when you have to install several major versions which require manual changes.

How will it be integrated?

The cron script already in charge of checking for new versions will be completed to make it send email notifications. Additionally, a new global setting will be added to let you customize the recipient email address of notifications.

If you need/want/like this feature, it is time to sponsor it :-)
