## Description
The backend has no email sending infrastructure. This sub-issue adds an abstract email service layer so the email provider can be swapped easily, along with the default implementation and email settings.
## Changes
- Abstract EmailService base class with send and send_bulk methods
- Default email service implementation using Django's email backend
- Factory function to return the configured email service
- Default sender email setting in base.py
- Unit tests


**Are you going to work on implementing this?**
