 ## Environment variables
 
  * `NOTIFICATION_EMAIL`: From address for MediaGoblin notification emails.
- * `EMAIL_RELAY_HOST`: Hostname used to send outgoing notification emails. Since MediaGoblin isn't terribly configurable as an email client, it's recommended that this "host" is a mail relay like https://hub.docker.com/r/alterrebe/postfix-relay/.
+ * `EMAIL_HOSTNAME`: Hostname used to send outgoing notification emails.
+ * `EMAIL_PORT`: Port number used to send outgoing notification emails.
+ * `EMAIL_USERNAME`: Username used to connect to outgoing email host.
+ * `EMAIL_PASSWORD`: Password used to connect to outgoing email host.
+ * `EMAIL_TLS_SSL`: "true" or "false" for using TLS/SSL encryption for sending emails.
+ * `EMAIL_STARTTLS`: "true" or "false" for using STARTTLS encryption for sending emails.
  * `DATABASE_URL`: Connection string for database to use for persistence, including credentials. See example below.
