an environment variable would allow us to not have it in the bash history
[[br]]
That's a good point.
[https://github.com/NullHypothesis/bridgedb/commit/74b159e9c2c473f02b629cd4bf7152a363770666
This commit] adds support for passing the key as environment variable.

> - 60 seconds seems a bit fast for email. How about making this 5-10
minutes? I'm thinking in terms of reducing false positives plus being
realistic about our response time to the alert.
[[br]]
I used to have it set to 5 minutes but that turned out to be excessive.
BridgeDB reliably responds within a few seconds, so I think it's safe to
assume that if the response didn't come within 60 seconds, it won't come
at all.

One login is for our SMTP connection (to send the email) and the other is
for our IMAP connection (to check for the response). Is there a way to
simplify this?
