In the home page, there's an option to sign-in with magic links. It'd be nice to have it gone for some self-installations that have no SMTP host configured.

For example, SIGNIN_DISABLE_MAGIC_LINK (default True)

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm not planning to work on this in near term myself, but I will accept a PR if changes are minimal and not disruptive.

I don't think a new setting is necessary, you could check if the EMAIL_HOST setting is empty (which is the default).

Is there any way to extend this to enable the magic link to be disabled if EMAIL_HOST= is configured. I have a limited number of SMTP that can be relayed via a third party provider and do not want bots spamming / generating emails from the login page.

@ilium007 sign-in links are only sent for accounts that exist. If bots submit the form, they will likely use email addresses that have no corresponding account and so no email will be sent.
