Closes #1

What

Adds mailkit as the first module of this repository, with the repository CI that will run every module added later.

The module holds two things. A one method Sender seam with a Message and three refusals every implementation answers, so a second provider is another package rather than a rewrite. And a template renderer where a file's first non-blank line is the subject and the rest is the body, over a default filesystem the caller supplies, with a named directory whose files replace those defaults by filename and are read at render time.

Two implementations ship. An SMTP sender over go-mail that refuses an unusable relay configuration at construction, including a half filled credential pair and credentials offered without transport security. And a test double that keeps messages instead of delivering them and answers exactly the refusals a delivering sender answers, including a cancelled context, so a consumer's unit tests cannot pass on a message that would fail in production.

62 tests. Coverage is 97.3 percent for mailkit and 100 percent for both smtp and testkit.

Why

Every application that sends mail otherwise wires its own SMTP client and bakes its wording into the binary. An operator then cannot reword an invitation without a rebuild, and a test suite cannot see what was sent without a real relay.

Testing Instructions

None. Point a consumer at a real relay only when one exists to point at.

Changes

The PR adds the mailkit Go module. It defines mail contracts, template rendering with overrides, SMTP delivery, a test sender, module documentation, dependency metadata, lint configuration, and CI checks.

Mailkit module

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mail contracts and template rendering
mailkit/go.mod, mailkit/doc.go, mailkit/mailkit.go, mailkit/templates.go, mailkit/templates_test.go, mailkit/CHANGELOG.md
Defines Message, Sender, sentinel errors, and template rendering with default files, validated names, filesystem overrides, subject extraction, and rendering tests.
SMTP sender and delivery validation
mailkit/smtp/*
Adds SMTP configuration, TLS policies, authentication, recipient validation, context-aware delivery, connection cleanup, and mock-relay tests.
Sender test double
mailkit/testkit/*
Adds an in-memory Sender that validates recipients, supports configured failures, honors cancellation, preserves message order, and includes interface checks.
Module documentation and CI
README.md, mailkit/.golangci.yml, .github/workflows/ci.yml
Documents the module and configures formatting, linting, tests, vetting, and vulnerability checks for mailkit.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 26aff

The runtime template override can escape its configured directory on Windows when template names are externally influenced, allowing unintended local files to be read and used as outgoing mail content. This high-impact security issue should be fixed before merge; the CI trigger and SMTP-auth test also need follow-up.

Explanation

The implementation satisfies the coding objectives in issue #1. It adds the mailkit Sender interface, SMTP sender, template renderer with runtime overrides, testkit sender, per-module CI, documentation, and tests. The requested release tag is not verifiable from the provided code summary, but it is a release task rather than a coding requirement.

Greptile Summary

This update requires mandatory TLS whenever SMTP credentials are configured and rejects template names containing path separators. The prior SMTP credential-exposure concern was disproved: authenticated configurations using opportunistic or disabled TLS are rejected before a sender is constructed.

Confidence Score: 5/5

No blocking failure remains.

No accepted blocking findings remain after focused SMTP and template-boundary checks.

T-Rex T-Rex Logs

What T-Rex did

  • Ran a public-API Go harness against the pre-change baseline and the current mailkit module to exercise template-name inputs with various separators.
  • Observed that in the current code, separator-containing names returned fs.ErrInvalid with no message, while valid.tmpl rendered VALID-DEFAULT.
  • Ran go test ./... in the mailkit module; the mailkit, smtp, and testkit packages passed.
  • After changes, all attempted separator names are rejected before rendering, while valid.tmpl continues to render the caller defaults as VALID-DEFAULT.

reject both forward-slash and backslash separators before calling filepath.Join,
preserving the existing invalid-name behavior; add coverage verifying that
