Why this happens
The app is sending from an unverified domain, missing DNS records, or using default sender addresses that do not build trust with mailbox providers. Resend is working, but deliverability is weak.
Fix
Verify your sending domain in Resend
Add the real production domain you want to send from and complete the DNS verification steps in Resend.
Use a domain-based sender address
Do not keep sending from a temporary onboarding address if this is a production workflow.
from: 'noreply@yourdomain.com' reply_to: 'you@yourdomain.com'
Update the email templates in Cursor
Make sure the app uses the verified sender address consistently and sends clean transactional content.
Copy this prompt
Resend emails are reaching inboxes as spam. Please update the email sending code to use a verified domain sender address, simplify the template markup, and avoid spammy subject lines.
Prevent this next time
Set up domain verification before launch, not after users start receiving transactional mail from a temporary sender.
Frequently Asked Questions
Usually not. Deliverability problems are mostly about sender reputation, verified domains, and message hygiene.
Only for quick tests. Production email should use your own verified domain.
