Note to self: Mail Config for Ghost

Note to self: Mail Config for Ghost

So you know.  Configuring SMTP for sending emails is a bit tricky with secure connections.  See below for correct config in the config.production.json file:

"mail": {
  "transport": "SMTP",
  "from": "'Mickey Mouse' xxxxx@probablynotinteresting.com",
  "options": {
    "host": "ms.xxx.com",
    "port": 587,
    "secureConnection": false,
    "requiresAuth": true,
    "tls": {
       "ciphers": "SSLv3"
           },
   "auth": {
       "user": "this_wont_work@probablynotinteresting.com",
       "pass": "xxxxxxx"
           }
      }
},

For others having problems..
