If I want to send an email (for example, to xyz@gmail.com) from an Appwrite Cloud Function, does that email address need to be registered as a user in Appwrite? Or can I send an email to any address, even if the recipient is not registered in the Appwrite?

I go through with this doc https://appwrite.io/docs/products/messaging/messages

I am using Appwrite Free plan

TL;DR
To send an email from an Appwrite Cloud Function, the recipient does not need to be registered as an Appwrite user. You can send emails to any address, even if the recipient is not in Appwrite.
