... to allow api_key declaration without relying on environment variables
I am coding a plugin for another program which will utilize smtp2go as a dependency, and being able to set the api_key within a configuration file was preferable to declaring an environment variable because all users require access to it, but neither does the program run as root, which is not ideal.
In general, forcing the user to set environment variables is not friendly to developers, hence the change. The changes are made such that the user can declare the api_key when the class is instantiated without requiring the environment variable, but still performs a check for the presence of the environment variable if api_key is unset at the time of instantiation. This is to avoid breaking compatibility or existing installations.
