Rationale: truemail is a gem that goes above and beyond when it comes to validating email addresses. It checks the domain, the MX records, and the SMTP server to ensure that the email address is valid. We will use it to ensure that the email addresses being used by the application are valid. This will help us to avoid sending emails to invalid email addresses and improve our mail deliverability.
Changed start methods to clarify boot process: - Renamed Onetime.load! to Onetime.boot! to better reflect its purpose of initializing the application - Updated references to the boot method throughout the codebase - Added documentation to Onetime module and boot method describing the boot process This simplifies initialization and improves grokability by using more precise terminology. The name "load" was somewhat ambiguous, while "boot" more clearly conveys that the application is being started up and prepared to serve requests. "Boot" also implies there's an order of operations which is important to understand when working with the application. Notes: - No functional changes, just naming for clarity - More boot process documentation to be added
The `OT::Config.after_load` method was added to run additional initialization tasks after loading the configuration. It extracts the `:from` email address from the config and configures TrueMail accordingly. Set TrueMail verifier email address after loading onetime configuration. This ensures the verifier email is set properly based on the config, avoiding errors during email validation.
Includes tests for existing email validation logic.
Current we're validating just the format of the email address. Let we'll leverage the Truemail gem to validate whether the email address is actually deliverable, not on a deny list, and not a temporary email address.

This pull request updates the email validation in the codebase to use the Truemail gem. Truemail provides comprehensive email validation by checking the domain, MX records, and SMTP server to ensure that the email address is valid. This will help us avoid sending emails to invalid addresses and improve our mail deliverability.
This work only replaces the regex logic and doesn't use the advanced features from Truemail. Later on we'll check the deliverability etc.
Fixes #392
