provider working, you may want to search for documentation related
to using your email provider with Django. The one thing we've
changed from the defaults is reading the email password from the
`email_password` entry in the Zulip secrets file, as part of our
policy of not having any secret information in the
`/etc/zulip/settings.py` file. In other words, if Django
documentation references setting `EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD`, you should
instead set `email_password` in `/etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf`.
