email-delivery-verification

email-delivery-verification is a skill for Claude Code from randommonicle/claude-skills. It costs 120 tokens per session (603 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for checking whether transactional email was actually delivered, rather than only accepted by the email service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing email sending to check provider records or webhooks, blocked-recipient lists, every recipient in a multi-recipient flow, and whether a mailbox exists.
Why use it?
An HTTP success response means the provider accepted the message, but does not prove that a recipient received it.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

email-delivery-verification scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 44 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Email delivery verification

Three occurrences across two repos, all the same shape: the API returned success, the team believed the mail sent, and it silently never arrived. A corporate filter hard-blocked the whole message over an attachment type; a wrong operator address hard-bounced once and the provider's account-level suppression list swallowed every subsequent send to it, forever and silently.

The rules

  • 2xx means queued. Actual delivery status (delivered / bounced / suppressed) lives in the provider's dashboard or webhooks — read it there when a send matters, and after any recipient change.
  • Check the suppression list as part of any "never arrived" diagnosis. One hard bounce can suppress an address account-wide; subsequent sends return 2xx and go nowhere.
  • Verify every recipient leg. Multi-recipient flows fail per-leg: the customer email worked while every operator notification was suppressed. Checking one leg proves one leg.
  • Confirm a mailbox exists before addressing it — the suppression cascade starts with one send to a mistyped or unprovisioned address.
  • Corporate filters block whole attachment classes. .html attachments get the entire message rejected by M365/Mimecast-class filters: deliver links, attach only tolerated formats (a DOCX passes where an HTML file does not). For recipients on a firm's own domain, a recipient-side block can only be fixed by their IT allowlisting the sender.
  • A sandbox sender reaches only verified addresses — verify the sending domain before relying on any send in the field.

What this skill does not do

It does not choose failure semantics for the send-then-record path (outbound-side-effect-idempotency) and does not govern email content. It is the delivery leg of verify-the-effect, split out because the mechanics are provider-specific.

Why

Email is the one side effect whose failure mode is designed to be silent: providers accept first and fail privately. Every incident in the evidence was discovered by a human noticing absence, days later. Evidence: ICC LESSONS_LEARNED L-004, L-015; ASH CLAUDE.md DNS/Email lesson (2026-05-21).

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
