Accept a callback instead of an array for the email property in config.php#274

Some config settings are sensitive, for instance email.transport.password. It would be better if you could configure them as a callback so you can read the value from a .env file.

I think you can set the password ($mailer->Password = 'secret';) with the beforeSend option just before sending the e-mail.

Interesting workaround, will keep this in mind thanks. Does not work for password reset emails though (if I’m correct).

@Philip Why doesn’t work for authentications?

@Philip Maybe this is the answer you’re looking for: The beforeSend callback can also be added as preset in config email option.

@Ahmet Bora Missed that part. Excellent, works perfectly!

@Philip Glad you figured it out. So I’m closing this idea?

@Ahmet Bora I can’t think of another config option that would benefit from this right now so go ahead. I’ll post a new idea if I encounter another case.
