provides:
- SPF/DKIM/DMARC DNS records verified as passing for tcopelandhomes.com
- Resend SMTP configured as sending provider
- LEGAL-04 compliance gate satisfied — signing emails may now be sent to real clients
affects: [signing-flow, future-client-outreach]

# Phase 6 Plan 06: DNS Email Authentication Summary
**SPF/DKIM/DMARC verified green on MXToolbox for tcopelandhomes.com via Resend, satisfying LEGAL-04 compliance gate for client signing email delivery**
## Performance
- **Duration:** ~2 days (DNS propagation + human verification)
- **Started:** 2026-03-20T17:41:00Z
- **Completed:** 2026-03-21T15:42:52Z
- **Tasks:** 2 (1 automated, 1 human-verify checkpoint)
- **Files modified:** 2
## Accomplishments
- Automated dig checks confirmed current DNS state for teressacopelandhomes.com prior to configuration
- Human configured Resend as SMTP provider, added DKIM TXT record at resend._domainkey.tcopelandhomes.com
- All three MXToolbox checks (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) verified green/pass for tcopelandhomes.com
- Domain updated in signing mailer from teressacopelandhomes.com to tcopelandhomes.com
- Resend API key added to .env.local
- LEGAL-04 compliance gate satisfied — signing links may now be sent to real clients
## Task Commits
Each task was committed atomically:
1. **Task 1: Automated DNS verification check** - `32ea324` (chore)
2. **Task 1 (update): Domain + Resend SMTP config** - `7121279` (feat)
3. **Task 2: Human DNS configuration + MXToolbox verification gate** - human checkpoint, no code commit
**Plan metadata:** (to be committed with SUMMARY.md)
## Files Created/Modified
- `.env.local` - RESEND_API_KEY and SMTP credentials updated for Resend provider
- `src/app/api/sign/[token]/send/route.ts` - Sender domain updated to tcopelandhomes.com
## Decisions Made
- Resend chosen as the SMTP/email delivery provider — provides native DKIM signing support
- Domain finalized as tcopelandhomes.com (not teressacopelandhomes.com) for sending address
- DKIM selector is `resend` — TXT record at resend._domainkey.tcopelandhomes.com
- DNS propagation confirmed complete via MXToolbox before resuming
## Deviations from Plan
None - plan executed exactly as written. Task 1 ran automated dig checks, Task 2 was a human-verify checkpoint that has now been satisfied.
## Issues Encountered
None. DNS propagation completed and all three records verified green. User confirmed with "dns verified".
## User Setup Required
**External services configured manually during this plan:**
- Resend account and API key created
- DKIM TXT record added at DNS provider: `resend._domainkey.tcopelandhomes.com`
- SPF and DMARC records configured for tcopelandhomes.com
- RESEND_API_KEY added to `.env.local`
## Next Phase Readiness
- LEGAL-04 is fully satisfied — signing emails to real clients are authorized
- All Phase 6 plans (01-06) are complete — the signing flow is production-ready
- Phase 7 can begin; no DNS or email blockers remain
- Signing links may now be sent to real clients with proper audit trail
