+    Endpoint to send an email via an SMTP service.
+
+    This endpoint facilitates sending an email using the configured SMTP service. It performs
+    the operation in a separate thread using `run_in_threadpool`, which is suitable for blocking I/O
+    operations, such as sending emails. By offloading the sending process to a thread pool, it prevents
+    the asynchronous event loop from being blocked, ensuring that other tasks in the application
+    remain responsive.
+
+    Args:
+        request (Request): The incoming HTTP request, providing context such as the base URL.
+        smtp (SMTPEmailService): The SMTP email service dependency injected to send emails.
+        sender (EmailStr): The sender's email address.
+        recipients (list[EmailStr]): A list of recipient email addresses.
+        subject (str): The subject line of the email.
+        body_text (str, optional): The plain-text body of the email. Defaults to an empty string.
+
+    Returns:
+        dict: A JSON object indicating success with a message, e.g., {"message": "Email sent"}.
+
+    Logs:
+        Logs relevant email metadata: request base URL, sender, recipients, and subject.
+
+    Why `run_in_threadpool`:
+        Sending an email often involves interacting with external SMTP servers, which can be
+        a slow, blocking operation. Using `run_in_threadpool` is beneficial because:
+        1. Blocking I/O operations like SMTP requests do not interrupt the main event loop,
+           preventing other tasks (e.g., handling HTTP requests) from slowing down.
+        2. The email-sending logic is offloaded to a separate, managed thread pool, improving
+           application performance and scalability.
