AutoCore Email Readiness and Security
A readiness and security checklist for verification, reset, notification, and delivery operations.
Email readiness requires a configured sender, provider key handling, domain verification outside the application, safe links, and an operational path for delivery failure. The application cannot prove provider-side deliverability by configuration alone.
Release candidate source
This article reflects the audited AutoCore source revision 7a504f6e430c16d4fcb03ebdea3cc3fb7816df60 and immutable release-candidate tag v1.0.0-rc.1 at 9edfb109f44cc80385784c694b96392cfc04e70f. Configuration and external provider behavior remain deployment-dependent.
Source boundary
| Control | Source-verified behavior |
|---|---|
| Sender | From and reply-to values are explicit and reviewed for the active edition. |
| Secrets | The provider key is server-only, absent from public examples, and rotated through the operator's secret process. |
| Auth flows | Verification and reset links are short-lived, single-use, and the reset path revokes sessions. |
| Observability | Record provider result and safe correlation data without logging full tokens or message contents. |
| Status | A log-only local provider is a development mode, not a production readiness signal. |
High-risk operation
Use explicit authorization, a written reason, a confirmation gate, and post-action verification. Documentation does not grant permission to change a deployment.
Operational controls
Use the smallest verified control for the task. Keep provider, host, legal, and operator responsibilities separate from application behavior. When a control is not implemented or not verified, leave it disabled or mark it as a limitation.
Verification
Verify the route, relevant API or configuration state, negative path, audit/evidence result, and public effect before closing the task. Record unknown or configuration-dependent behavior as a limitation.
