I'm doing some more testing, but SMTP still isn't working.
I created a testing script at /home/test.sh that contained `echo ${@}
&> /tmp/asdf.log` so I could see if its even attempting to send mail,
but that file didn't even get created.

Am I able to run the send function manually somehow, so I could see
what errors it produces? I'm seeing the `aurweb-notify` command is
available, but I'm not sure what argument I would pass it.

Just reporting back on the issues I had:
The SMTP issue was due to my VPS provider blocking the standard email
ports (25, 465, 587). They let me get them unblocked through
contacting them though, and I imagine it'll work just fine after.
Then I just need to get the TU stuff set up, but that shouldn't be
too hard (hopefully).
Again, thanks!

Sounds good, I'll check things out. Just wanted to confirm I wasn't
missing a value in the config or anything.

If I can get this working, I don't see much of a need to implement
anything new (unless aurweb is being used by a crazy ton of
less-experienced people or something). I imagine I could just
automate it into a Bash script after I figured out the commands if I
really needed to.
Ideally I'm gonna try to not upgrade this a ton too, as I'm making a
decent amount of changes in the GUI, and I don't want to deal with a
bunch of hassle over and over.
Thanks! I'll send a message if it's still not working right.
