- Can send a test transactional email through SES successfully (not sandbox-blocked).
- DNS passes SPF/DKIM/DMARC checks (use MXToolbox).
## OUTBOUND CHECKLIST — before websites send live mail (added 2026-09-01)
- [ ] **Request SES production access** (free; ~hours approval) — required for sites to email *any* user (sandbox only sends to verified addresses): SES → Account dashboard → Request production access.
- [ ] **Get SES SMTP credentials** (SES → SMTP Settings → create SMTP user; region ap-southeast-2; port 587 STARTTLS or 465 TLS).
- [ ] **Wire website/app** to send FROM `hello@<domain>` via SES SMTP/API (sender + auth set in site config).
- [ ] Send a live test FROM `hello@where-woof.com` → external address; verify DKIM/spf=pass.
- [ ] (Later, optional) tighten DMARC from `p=none` to `p=quarantine` once legitimate traffic is established.
## Personal sending options (as of 2026-09-01)
- **Gmail "Send mail as"** → add `hello@where-woof.com` as an alias, outgoing via SES SMTP → send as where-woof from Gmail compose. Free.
- **Thunderbird**: keep IMAP = Gmail (where mail lands), set **SMTP = SES** → send as where-woof.com. Free.
- **PurelyMail** (~$10/yr, real domain mailboxes + IMAP/SMTP/POP) → alternative when real org mailboxes are wanted; gives Thunderbird native IMAP on your domain + independent storage. Deferred decision — current Cloudflare→Gmail stays $0.
