EPN stands for Expiring Password Notification. It is a standalone
tool designed to build a list of users whose password would expire
in the near future, and either display the list in a machine-readable
format, or send email notifications to these users.
EPN provides command-line options to display the list of affected users.
This provides data introspection and helps understand how many emails
would be sent for a given day, or a given date range.
The command-line options can also be used by a monitoring system to alert
whenever a number of emails over the SMTP quota would be sent.
EPN is meant to be launched once a day from an IPA client (preferred)
or replica from a systemd timer.
EPN does not keep state. The list of affected users is built at runtime
but never kept.
TLS/STARTTLS SMTP code is untested and unlikely to work as-is.
