Verification of Automatic Task Result Reception via Hermes Agent Email Integration

With Email integration, users can perform operations similar to those of a standard email client by configuring IMAP and SMTP settings. However, by default, the system is designed to process emails only from authorized senders.
During verification using a Sakura Internet mailbox, an issue occurred where emails could not be received due to an authentication error. This was caused by the fact that while Hermes Agent is implemented to authenticate senders by referencing the "Authentication-Results" header, the service used provided the "ARC-Authentication-Results" header instead.
On the other hand, regarding email transmission, sending via the Email Gateway was successful by providing instructions for the SMTP server information and sender account settings.
By saving the email transmission procedure as a "skill" once, results can be automatically delivered in the future simply by instructing the agent to "send the results by email." This eliminates the need to launch the application to check the results.
