Sendgrid configuration

To avoid storing plaintext username/password in the public repo, Sendgrid reads this information from OS environment variables. Make sure to set the SENDGRID_USERNAME and SENDGRID_PASSWORD environment variables on the target OS.

For Linux/OSX, use export SENDGRID_USERNAME=<username>

See Josh for the credentials.
