Send email notifications to Project Creator and Drone Pilots

[nrjadkry]

Description

The requirement is to send email notification to the project creators whenever a drone pilot requests to map a task and after the project creator accepts it, similar notification should be send to the drone pilot that his request has been accepted.

Package Used

I have used aiosmtplib package to send the email to the users

Tasks

• SMTP Configurations
• Utils functions to send the notifications
• Email notification to the project creator
• Email notification to the drone operators

python-emails isn't bad, but it hadn't been updated in a while.

With FastAPI ideally we want to use an async mailer to prevent thread blocking.

aoismtplib is good for this use case.
Example implementation using jinja templates (nice to see you are already using jinja):

Note that either could work for now though if time is lacking. We can always refactor / replace in future.

@spwoodcock We could use aoismtplib for async mailer. I was thinking of adding the email task into background task. Using async mailer sounds good

@spwoodcock I have updated this to use aiosmtp. Will you take a look into it.
