I want to fix two bugs in interactions between other parts of britney
and the email policy. It's not currently easy to do so because we just
run the policy itself manually by creating some fake excuses.
Steal part of the machinery from the autopkgtest tests, and run a few
tests through britney completely. Use a fake SMTP server to record which
emails we sent.
(The port is hardcoded - that might not be so smart.)
So we can turn it off for the "notest" run and for the non-dev series.
This is a tristate
- 'yes': send email as normal
- 'dry-run': log what it would do, but send no email [nor update the
cache, so each run is effectively a fresh run]
- 'no': disable completely
