Feng Lu commented on AIRFLOW-1723:
----------------------------------
Most SMTP services require username and password, which are very sensitive
information and hard to revoke (consider Airflow config stores them in
plaintext). Sendgrid or similar services, provide the ability to specify an
API key instead. One can easily mange the permission of the API key and revoke
the key itself.
What exactly is your concern here re: supporting sendgrid?
