## What it is
A small Node.js server that sends emails via the nodemailer library, configured with a Gmail account. It exposes a web interface on localhost:3100 for sending messages.

## Use cases
- send emails from a self-hosted node server
- simple mailer service using gmail
- test email sending locally
- wrap nodemailer behind an http endpoint
- learn how to build an email sending server in node

## When to choose
- you need a minimal self-hosted email sender with a web UI
- you want a simple example of integrating nodemailer in a node server

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade email delivery with proper auth and TLS
- you want maintained software with active support
- you need OAuth-based Gmail authentication instead of password login
