+"""Example post-receive hook based on git-multimail.
+
+This script is a simple example of a post-receive hook implemented
+using git_multimail.py as a Python module. It is intended to be
+customized before use; see the comments in the script to help you get
+started.
+
+It is possible to use git_multimail.py itself as a post-receive or
+update hook, configured via git config settings and/or command-line
+parameters. But for more flexibility, it can also be imported as a
+Python module by a custom post-receive script as done here. The
+latter has the following advantages:
+
+* The tool's behavior can be customized using arbitrary Python code,
+ without having to edit git_multimail.py.
+
+* Configuration settings can be read from other sources; for example,
+ user names and email addresses could be read from LDAP or from a
+ database. Or the settings can even be hardcoded in the importing
+ Python script, if this is preferred.
+
+This script is a very basic example of how to use git_multimail.py as
+a module. The comments below explain some of the points at which the
+script's behavior could be changed or customized.

+# # The smtpserver argument can also include a port number; e.g.,
+# # smtpserver='mail.example.com:25'
+# smtpserver='mail.example.com',
