Evils of client-side SMTP (Re: Modern email library)

I'm a bit confused, Richard. FWIW, my long-time use-case is an app that runs unattended on a regular schedule on a faceless VM, doing a whole bunch of data processing and updating databases, and sends alerts by email if something goes wrong. When the app is installed, it has to be set up with

Re: Modern email library

It always depends on how you use such libraries or externals. The new tsNET external allows us for example to send notification emails from our scheduled unattended maintenance tools using our own in-house mailserver. Our mailserver requests authentication from our apps before sending out to e

I've one app that's been in existence for over a decade, which uses Shao Sean's libSmtp. It works fine. Now I find myself wanting to send email from a new stack I'm working on. I could just drag that library out again, but I suspect that a more modern way is to use tsNet. AFAICT tsNet handle
