Why this happens
Sending from Resend's default domain (onboarding@resend.dev) instead of your own domain. No SPF/DKIM records.
Fix
Add your domain to Resend
Resend Dashboard → Domains → Add domain. Follow the DNS verification steps.
Send from your domain
Use your domain, not Resend's default:
await resend.emails.send({
from: 'noreply@yourdomain.com', // NOT onboarding@resend.dev
to: recipient,
subject: 'Your subject',
headers: {
'List-Unsubscribe': '<mailto:unsubscribe@yourdomain.com>'
}
})Prevent this next time
Always verify your own domain in Resend before sending any emails. The default resend.dev domain has poor deliverability.
