Potential to use SMTP2GO which has a good free plan. Self hosting email sucks. My thought would be to implement an endpoint on the datalayer that then sends the email somewhere. So either to SMTP2GO if we have an ENV VAR set or just echo'd out to the logs if not (saves us on sending a bunch of emails in load tests, etc)

Per conversation with @kylestang & @Scott-Kenning, we will create an internal api endpoint on the datalayer:

POST /api/email
{"recipient": "EMAIL@ADRESS", "subject": "SUBJECT", "body": "BODY OF EMAIL"}

This endpoint will then route the email to a legitimate SMTP server (in production) or console log the email contents (in development)
