  • EMAIL_IMAP_SMTP_PORTCustom SMTP port
  • EMAIL_IMAP_MAX_RECIPIENTSSafety cap: maximum combined To+CC+BCC recipients per email_send call. Defaults to 25; raising bypasses spam-prevention guardrails against prompt-injection-driven mass sends.
  • EMAIL_IMAP_RATE_LIMIT_PER_HOURSafety cap: maximum email_send calls per rolling window. Defaults to 50; protects against runaway sends when injection content escapes the LLM's intent.
