// Send test email using the specific target ID await messaging.createEmail( 'unique()', // messageId 'Test Email, // subject '<p>Test<p/>', // content [], // topics (empty) [], // users (empty when using targets) [targetId], // targets (using the specific target ID) [], // cc (empty) [], // bcc (empty) [], // attachments (empty) false, // draft (false = send immediately) true // html (true for HTML content) );

When using this code to send an Email i get the following error in the appwrite console "Failed sending to target theEmailISpecified with error: Forbidden"

what is the cause of this?

My custom smtp server is setup and magic link emails are also sent out after i enter mine for loggin in, the email address also has a target

TL;DR
An error occurred while sending an email to a specific target. The issue is likely due to a permissions error or incorrect setup in the messaging createEmail function. Ensure that the targetID is correct and the necessary permissions are set up to send emails to that target.
