pushover.failure sends notification, but doesn't alert message severity level about mailrise HOT 2 CLOSED

So it turns out this is a quirk with the way that Apprise works with Pushover. Debugging Mailrise shows that the .failure notification type is being submitted to the Apprise API correctly, which is supposed to give you a red Mailrise icon for that notification—except that Apprise's Pushover plugin does not do anything useful with the notify_type passed to it. This actually makes sense, because Pushover notifications cannot set their own icons; icons are defined on a per-app basis on the Pushover dashboard.

You're probably looking for Pushover's "priority" option, which you add to the query string of the service URL. You have a choice of low, moderate, high, or emergency:

configs:
  pushover:
    urls:
      - pover://pover://{user_key}@{token}?priority=low
  pushover_urgent:
    urls:
      - pover://pover://{user_key}@{token}?priority=emergency

This is a pretty nasty gotcha, but I don't think it's practical for Mailrise to try to do anything about it. Every single plugin may or may not make use of the notify_type passed into it; there's no way to know for sure. With a case like this, you could make an automatic map from Apprise's notify_type to Pushover's priority, but this would need to be done on a plugin-by-plugin basis.

The solution is for upstream to define info/success/warning/failure "notification type" as something more intuitive than "icon color, if it is possible to set for this particular service."
