Simplest way of getting email failure notifiations from kubernetes
What would be the simplest (and most lightweight) way of getting email notifications of failures in kubernetes clusters. Mostly interested in failing pods, so notifying on certain [kubernetes event](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/cluster-resources/event-v1/#list-list-or-watch-objects-of-kind-event) types would be sufficient. 

This really shouldn't need an additional database like [prometheus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_(software)).

Ideally something dead simple like the MAILTO variable in [crontab files](https://man.archlinux.org/man/crontab.5.en#EXAMPLE_OF_A_JOB_IN_/etc/cron.d/job).
