It subscribes to an AWS SQS queue, processes messages from Custodian policy actions, and forwards notifications to multiple endpoints: email via SES, Slack channels and users, DataDog metrics, and Splunk. The package is primarily an example implementation, meaning it demonstrates a pattern for organization-specific mail delivery rather than being a one-size-fits-all solution.\n\nThe mailer runs as a standalone service (or in Docker) and requires configuration via a YAML file specifying the SQS queue URL, IAM role, and credentials for each notification endpoint you want to use. Custodian policies trigger messages by including a notify action with transport type sqs, allowing policy-driven alerting across your cloud infrastructure without embedding notification logic in the policies themselves.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you run Cloud Custodian and need to route policy notifications to email, Slack, or monitoring systems. The low install friction, active maintenance, permissive license, and zero known vulnerabilities make it a safe choice. Install with caution only if your organization has custom notification requirements not covered by SES, Slack, DataDog, or Splunk\u2014the package is intentionally an example, not a universal solution."},"id":"c7n-mailer","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/c7n-mailer","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/c7n-mailer.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/c7n-mailer/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-28","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"c7n-mailer","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Cloud Custodian - Reference Mailer"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":114006,"position":12318,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.6.50"}
