 # Active Context - Current Work Status
 
-## Current Task: COMPLETED ✅
+## Current Task: GMAIL SMUGGLER FULLY OPERATIONAL ✅
+**SMTP Relay Solution Successfully Implemented**:
+- **DigitalOcean Server (chrishaulmark.com)**: SMTP ports 25, 465, 587 BLOCKED by DigitalOcean
+- **Dedicated Server (74.80.182.50)**: All SMTP ports WORKING ✅
+- **Gmail Smuggler Container**: DEPLOYED and RUNNING ✅ on port 2525 (unblocked)
+
+**Solution**: DNS override + port 2525 SMTP relay bypasses DigitalOcean SMTP blocking completely.
+
+### Gmail Smuggler Final Configuration
+- **Container Name**: `gmail-smuggler`
+- **Location**: `10.4.0.206:~/gmail-smuggler/` (internal VM)
+- **Status**: Running with Docker Compose auto-restart
+- **Port**: 2525 (external) → 587 (internal, forwarding to smtp.gmail.com:587)
+- **Technology**: Alpine Linux + socat TCP relay
+- **OPNsense**: Port forwarding 2525 → 10.4.0.206:2525
+
+### Implementation Details
+1. **DNS Override**: `74.80.182.50    smtp.gmail.com` in `/etc/hosts` ✅
+2. **Backend Configuration**: `SMTP_PORT=2525` in `backend/.env` ✅
+3. **Port Forwarding**: OPNsense forwards port 2525 to internal VM ✅
+4. **Connection Verified**: DigitalOcean VPS → 74.80.182.50:2525 → Gmail ✅
+
+### Email Flow
