WalkthroughThe workflow now runs for branch pushes, uses reduced permissions, enforces a five-minute timeout, and sends notifications through the pinned ChangesSMTP notification workflow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The workflow can still send misleading notifications for deleted branches, executes an action through a mutable version tag, and may fail to deliver mail with common STARTTLS SMTP settings. These bounded correctness, security, and integration risks should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merging. Suggested reviewers: Poem

GitHub Actions push event branch deletion github.event.deleted branches filters documentation
💡 Result:
In GitHub Actions, there is no direct support for filtering the push event specifically to exclude or target branch deletions through workflow syntax filters like branches or branches-ignore [1][2][3]. The push event triggers for various activities, including branch deletions, and you must handle this logic within your job steps or using conditional expressions [4][5]. Key Considerations for Branch Deletion: 1. Push Event Behavior: When a branch is deleted, a push event is sent to the repository [4][5]. In this payload, the deleted attribute is set to true, and the ref field indicates the branch that was deleted [6]. However, because the branch no longer exists, the workflow run context defaults to the repository's default branch [1][3]. 2. How to Filter Deletions: Because you cannot use standard branch filters to ignore deletions, you must use the if conditional at the job or step level to check the event payload [4]. For example, to exclude branch deletions from a workflow job: if: ${{!github.event.deleted }} 3. The delete Event: If you specifically want to trigger a workflow when a branch is deleted, you should use the delete event instead of push [7][5]. Note that the delete event only triggers a workflow run if the workflow file exists on the default branch [1][3]. You can filter this to run only for branches by checking the payload: on: delete: jobs: cleanup: if: github.event.ref_type == 'branch' runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - name: Handle branch deletion run: echo "Branch deleted: ${{ github.event.ref }}" [7] Summary: Use the delete event if your goal is to handle branch deletions specifically [7][5]. If you need to keep using the push event but want to avoid running logic during deletions, use a conditional if check against github.event.deleted [4][6].

Exclude deleted branch events.
When PUSH_EMAIL_ENABLED is true, branches: ['**'] still permits branch-deletion push events. Add github.event.deleted != true to the notify job condition to prevent a notification for a deleted branch.

Pin the action by commit SHA in the workflow.
The workflow executes the mutable v0.1.0 tag. Replace it with 1b3b752d39a4fe4c0f28f10905e4608789d3e050 and retain # v0.1.0.

github hyperpolymath smtp-notify-action 1b3b752d39a4fe4c0f28f10905e4608789d3e050 secure STARTTLS server_port
💡 Result:
The GitHub repositories under the 'hyperpolymath' organization, such as 'ipfs-overlay', 'volumod', and 'tree-sitter-a2ml', utilize the 'dawidd6/action-send-mail' GitHub Action to manage push-email notifications [1][2][3]. Within the workflow configuration files for these repositories, the SMTP settings are defined as follows: server_address: ${{ secrets.SMTP_HOST }} server_port: ${{ secrets.SMTP_PORT }} secure: true In the context of the 'dawidd6/action-send-mail' action—and similar SMTP actions like 'simonsfoundation/action-send-mail'—the secure parameter and server_port work together to determine the connection security [4][5][6]. Setting secure to true typically instructs the action to use direct TLS (often associated with port 465), whereas setting secure to false allows for the use of STARTTLS (often associated with port 587) to upgrade a plain connection to a secure one [4][7][8]. The configuration used in the 'hyperpolymath' repositories sets secure to true, which is the standard practice for enforced TLS connections on port 465 [1][2][3][6].

Use the correct SMTP port.
If the SMTP endpoint uses STARTTLS on port 587, this action attempts implicit TLS and the send will fail because STARTTLS is unsupported. Set secrets.SMTP_PORT to 465, or use an action that supports STARTTLS.
