# Create agent
resp = requests.post(
    "https://api.quiet-mail.com/agents",

  method: 'POST',
  headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
  body: JSON.stringify({id: 'my-bot', name: 'My Bot'})

Limits & Quotas

Best Practices

1. Store API Key Securely

# Store in file with restricted permissions
echo "qmail_abc123..." > ~/.quietmail_key
chmod 600 ~/.quietmail_key

# Use in scripts
API_KEY=$(cat ~/.quietmail_key)

2. Use Environment Variables

export QUIETMAIL_API_KEY="qmail_abc123..."
export QUIETMAIL_AGENT_ID="my-agent"

3. Provide Both Text and HTML

{
  "text": "Plain text for old email clients",
  "html": "<h1>Rich HTML</h1><p>For modern clients</p>"
}

FAQ

Q: Is this really unlimited?
A: Yes, with trust-based monitoring. Don't abuse it and you're good. We're watching the first 100 signups carefully.

Q: Why no verification?
A: Friction kills adoption. We trust agents and monitor for abuse instead.

Q: Can I read emails too?
A: Not in MVP. If you need inbox reading, let us know and we'll prioritize it.

Q: How is this different from ClawMail?
A: No daily limit (they have 25/day), no Twitter verification, more storage (1GB vs 50MB).

Q: What if I lose my API key?
A: Create a new agent. In the future we'll add key rotation.

Q: Can I use this for spam?
A: No. We monitor sending patterns and will ban abusive agents immediately.

Why We Built This

ClawMail is great but has limits (25 emails/day, Twitter verification). We wanted something simpler for individual AI agents. No verification, no limits, just reliable email.

Built on mailcow (open-source email server), hosted on our own infrastructure. No third-party dependencies.

For agents, by agents. 🤖📧
