## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
Implement approved email sending through the self-hosted Stalwart mail server using SMTP/SMTPS and Nodemailer. The system must never send automatically before manual approval and must log recipient, subject, audit link, status, and errors in Convex.
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->

## Acceptance Criteria
<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
- [ ] #1 Nodemailer is configured for Stalwart SMTP/SMTPS using environment or Convex secrets
- [ ] #2 E-Mail freigeben und senden sends only the currently approved/editable email draft to the visible recipient
- [ ] #3 A final send action shows recipient, subject, sender, and audit link before sending
- [ ] #4 Convex records sent timestamp, recipient, subject, audit link, SMTP result, and any error details
- [ ] #5 SMTP failures keep the lead in a retryable review state and do not mark the lead as contacted
<!-- AC:END -->

## Implementation Plan

<!-- SECTION:PLAN:BEGIN -->
1. Add SMTP transport configuration from secrets.
2. Add server-side send function that accepts only approved outreach IDs.
3. Add final confirmation UI with recipient, subject, sender, and audit link.
4. Store SMTP success/error outcomes and update lead/outreach status.
5. Test success and failure paths with safe non-production recipients before real use.
