I've found that it's pretty common that I need to send emails from my software. At first it seems easy, there are well documented libraries out there. Pretty soon though, your super critical outage notification email has wound up in the SPAM filter.

In this project, I explore the tools available to send email alerts from your automated systems and how to ensure those emails are trusted by their receiving mail servers.

This will be an ongoing project that I intend to circle back to as time permits.
