## What it does

The skill outlines a queue for transactional messages with retries and monitoring. It also covers logging deliveries, opens, clicks, bounces, and complaints, plus keeping template versions for rollback or A/B tests. These are design patterns for an email system, not a standalone sending command.

It calls out pitfalls such as HTML that renders poorly, messages without a plain-text alternative, and emails built mostly from images. Its risk list treats missing SPF, DKIM, or DMARC records as critical; it also flags ignored bounce notices and messages sent without recipients’ permission. That makes DNS configuration a key part of the setup.
