Sends emails via a pre-configured SMTP server with support for plain text, Markdown-to-HTML conversion, and file attachments. Uses a local JSON config file for credentials and retries failed sends up to 3 times with error logging.
Reuses a single SMTP config across all scripts instead of hardcoding credentials each time.
When to use it
- Sending weekly reports with PDF attachments
- Automating notification emails from scripts
- Delivering formatted Markdown summaries to teammates
- Triggering email alerts after long-running jobs finish
- Sending files from the command line without a GUI client
