Yep, that seems totally reasonable to me. I needed to set the port, and the username or password. Was very simple to fix, and I only posted about it because now the instructions don’t explain how to do those steps. Honestly, I think it would probably be enough to just include the old instructions as an alternative if you need to configure SMTP settings and not bother changing the script at all.
