This change prevents errors when using the default grafana-default-email
contact point with its placeholder email address <example@email.com>.
Changes include:
- Skip sending emails to placeholder addresses without throwing errors
- Show warning message in UI when testing contact points with placeholder emails
- Filter out placeholder addresses when mixed with valid email addresses
- Add unit tests for placeholder email detection and handling
- Handle empty recipient lists gracefully in SMTP client
The UI now displays a yellow warning box with a helpful message prompting
users to configure a valid email address.
Backend logs now show an informative message when skipping placeholder emails:
INFO Skipping email notification to placeholder address(es). Please configure
a valid email address in your contact point to receive alerts.
