Question: plex_user_emails or not to plex_user_emails?

Sorry for just now replying.
This is a little quirk that I did not fully explain well enough.
I will update the documentation to explain further.

TLDR: An email in the recipients_email: field is required if setting plex_user_emails: to 'no'

Long answer:

But to answer your question, specifying plex_user_emails: 'no'
Is the correct way to have it NOT automatically send to plex users emails. If that is set to 'no' it will only send to emails or usernames listed in the recipients_email: and recipients: fields.

Here is the one catch however that I did not explain well enough. for plex_user_emails: 'no' to work, it must have at least one email address in the recipients_email: field. It does however always email the server owner, so if you put that same email in the recipients_email: field you may get 2 emails to your address. But this will allow you to be able to specify specific usernames to go to as well.

So for an example it would look like the below and it would send an email to my plex friends 'superman', and 'robin' and to my personal email '[email protected]' and then also to my 'ninthwalker' plex server owners email by default.

plex:
  plex_user_emails: 'no'
mail:
  from: 'me'
  subject: 'New This Week on Plex!'
  recipients_email: ['[email protected]']
  recipients: ['superman', 'robin']

Works like a charm! Thanks!

I saw the docs have been updated as well. Closing this out as resolved.

Great, glad it works for you.
