More options for email notification

When sending alert emails, we should be able to specify more than just smtp server (port, SSL, etc.).

For example, our company uses Google Apps to host our email, which forces all SMTP requests to be SSL and at a higher port. As such, we can't send emails using Bix.

A solution for sending emails through gmail/SSL would be to use sendmail on linux (local to the bixserver), or windows' smtp server (local again). Or you could write a script and use parameters to pass in the information, and make the action a script instead of email.

Good idea though, I've added this request to the list for future release.
