# Infrastructure Setup for PodcastItLater

## Email Delivery via Mailgun

PodcastItLater sends transactional emails (magic links for login) via Mailgun for reliable deliverability.

### Setup Steps

1. **Add domain to Mailgun**: Add `bensima.com` at [mailgun.com](https://app.mailgun.com/mg/sending/new)

2. **Configure DNS**: Add the records Mailgun provides:
   - **TXT** (SPF): Update existing to include `include:mailgun.org`
   - **TXT** (DKIM): Add the DKIM record Mailgun provides
   - **CNAME** (tracking, optional): For open/click tracking

3. **Get SMTP credentials**: Go to Sending → Domain Settings → SMTP Credentials

4. **Update production secrets** in `/run/podcastitlater/env`:
   ```bash
   EMAIL_FROM=noreply@bensima.com
   SMTP_SERVER=smtp.mailgun.org
   SMTP_PORT=587
   SMTP_PASSWORD=your-mailgun-smtp-password
   ```
