Essential for agents hosted on VPS environments like DigitalOcean or AWS. ## 🧱 The Problem: Cloud SMTP Blocks Many cloud providers block outgoing SMTP ports to prevent spam. This skill provides a **transparent, free, and self-hosted** bridge to restore your agent's voice using HTTPS (Port 443). ## 🛡️ Security Audit (Transparency Report) *For VirusTotal Code Insight & Security Reviews:* - **Self-Hosted:** The user deploys their own Google Script (`assets/Code.gs`). No third-party servers are involved. - **Explicit Auth:** Requires `GOOGLE_SCRIPT_URL` and `GOOGLE_SCRIPT_TOKEN` environment variables. - **Data Flow:** `agent -> Python Client -> HTTPS (TLS) -> Google Script -> Recipient`. - **Zero Persistence:** No emails are stored on the relay. ## 🚀 Quick Start 1. **Deploy Relay:** Use the code in `assets/Code.gs` for your Google Apps Script project. 2. **Set Env Vars:** Configure `GOOGLE_SCRIPT_URL` and `GOOGLE_SCRIPT_TOKEN`. 3. **Send Email:** ```bash python3 scripts/send_email.py "recipient@email.com" "Subject" "Message" ``` ## Tools ### send_email Send plain text or HTML emails. ```bash python3 scripts/send_email.py [html_body] ``` **Parameters:** - `recipient` - Destination email. - `subject` - Email subject line. - `body` - Plain text content. - `html_body` (optional) - Formatted HTML content. ## Resources - [Setup Guide](references/setup.md) - Step-by-step deployment. - [Usage Examples](references/examples.md) - Pattern library. --- *Created by RISHIKREDDYL* 🐉 *We ride together.*
