Unsubscribe link, one-click headers and suppression on every mail - #26
Every mail the API sends goes through EmailService (queue, then Resend or SMTP). It now does this for each one:
Category. Each mail has one (category on sendEmail, else from the template slug or the reference type). Required: security, receipts, billing, account_notices. Optional: onboarding, usage_alerts, trial_reminders, summaries, invitations, staff_alerts. A mail with no known category is not queued.
Read before every send. The do-not-contact list (MAIL_DO_NOT_CONTACT) and the suppression list (email_suppressions) are read when a mail is queued and again when it leaves the queue. A scheduled mail to an address that unsubscribed in between is cancelled. A do-not-contact address gets nothing, receipts and password resets included.
Token. A fresh 256-bit token is made when the mail leaves the queue. Only its SHA-256 is stored (email_unsubscribe_tokens), with the SHA-256 of the recipient's canonical address and the category. The raw token is only in the mail.
Footer. A visible Unsubscribe link (14px), a line saying why the person got the mail, and "Manic Agency LLC, 2831 St Rose Parkway, Suite 200, Henderson, NV 89052" (MAIL_OPERATOR_NAME, MAIL_POSTAL_ADDRESS; the address the site footer and config.json give). The same lines go in the text part.
Headers.List-Unsubscribe: <https://…/api/v1/email/unsubscribe/<token>> and List-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click (RFC 8058), on the Resend call and on the SMTP fallback.
Fails closed. Nothing is sent when the lists cannot be read, the token cannot be stored, MAIL_PUBLIC_URL is not https under NODE_ENV=production, or a commercial mail has no postal address.
GET shows a page and changes nothing, so a link scanner stops nothing.
On optional mail the page offers "Unsubscribe from " and "Turn off all optional email". On required mail it is the preferences page: it says when that mail still comes, offers turning off every optional mail, and points to account deletion (the GDPR page and the support address).
POST saves the choice at once. A mailbox provider's one-click POST carries no scope. It stops the mail's own optional category, or every optional mail when the link came in required mail, and gets a blank 200. Form-encoded and multipart bodies both work.
An unknown token answers 404 and a store failure 500; neither changes anything. No mail is sent about an unsubscribe.
Also in this change:
Receipts never queued.email_queue.reference_id was a UUID column, but receipts reference Stripe ids (cs_…, sub_…) and the lifetime mails reference GitHub usernames. Each insert failed, so credits-purchased, subscription-confirmed and all three lifetime mails were never queued. Migration 136 makes the column text.
Subscription confirmation never rendered. Its template reads credits, but both callers passed only creditsPerDay, so EJS threw. Both now pass credits too.
Support address. Auth mail named support@synthstack.io. No page of the product names that domain (they use synthstack.app and team@manic.agency); today it shows a "Coming Soon" page and its mail goes to Mailgun. Auth mail now names SUPPORT_EMAIL, default team@manic.agency (the address the privacy and GDPR pages give).
Escaping and font size. The display name in the welcome mail and the GitHub username in the lifetime invitation mail are escaped. No mail text is under 13px (auth and lifetime templates; the demo template through migration 136).
Demo credit low link. Its own unsubscribe link pointed at /preferences/email?userId=…, a page that does not exist. It now carries the mail's token link.
Newsletter. A do-not-contact address is not stored and no provider is called. The admin bulk sync leaves those addresses out. POST /newsletter/subscribe now gives one answer for every signup, so the answer reveals nothing about the list. Provider outcomes go to the log.
Contact relay (services/email.ts). What the visitor typed is escaped. For a do-not-contact sender, Reply-To is left off and the subject starts "[Do not reply]". The relay goes to the team inbox only; nothing goes to the visitor.
Production compose.deploy/docker-compose.yml lists the API's environment one variable at a time, and it had no FRONTEND_URL and no mail settings. It now passes them. MAIL_PUBLIC_URL defaults to https://api.${APP_DOMAIN} and FRONTEND_URL to https://${APP_DOMAIN}, the hosts its Traefik rules serve. Empty operator and postal settings fall back to the defaults.
Attachments. Queued attachments are read whether Postgres returns the JSONB parsed or as text.
Logs. The Resend success log no longer prints the recipient address.

Not changed here, for the owner:
Do-not-contact list. It is read from MAIL_DO_NOT_CONTACT at send time and is never committed (public repository). No SynthStack deployment answers today (synthstack.app redirects to printandmore.online, read 8 November 2026), so there is no list to seed; set it before the first send.
DKIM coverage. Resend's docs (send email: headers, "Custom headers to add to the email"; unsubscribe headers, read 8 November 2026) add the headers on the send call. They do not say which headers the signature covers. Read h= on the first mail that reaches a team inbox.
No issue (#27 records the contact form path problem found during the audit)
Spec, plan and design
The owner's rule of 4 November 2026: every mail any product sends carries a visible unsubscribe link and the RFC 8058 one-click headers. A GET asks and a POST suppresses at once. Required mail's link opens preferences. No unsubscribe confirmation mail. Postal address on commercial mail. Do-not-contact addresses suppressed before any send. The law it follows: CAN-SPAM (15 U.S.C. 7704, 16 CFR 316), PECR, RFC 8058, and Gmail's and Yahoo's sender rules.
Pictures
None: this repository does not render mail in CI. The footer markup is checked by the mail tests (link, 13px floor, postal line, text part).
Docs
docs/EMAIL_SERVICE.md: a new "Unsubscribe and suppression" section, the new environment variables, the unsubscribe endpoints, the two tables, the production checklist and the newsletter answer.
.env.example: the mail variables.
deploy/docker-compose.yml: the variables, with comments.
Tests
packages/api-gateway/src/services/email/__tests__/unsubscribe-every-mail.test.ts, run by the new Mail workflow (.github/workflows/mail.yml). The workflow has a Postgres 16 service and runs on pull requests and master pushes that touch mail code. It sends every mail above through the real EmailService into a capturing Resend client, on a Postgres built from the real migrations (005, 042, 130, 136). It calls the unsubscribe and newsletter routes through Fastify inject. It checks:
each mail has the visible link, both headers on the same token, the 13px floor, the postal line and the text-part link;
each mail is stored with the right category, only hashes are stored, and the raw token is never in the queue;
each send gets a new token, and Stripe-id and username references queue;
GET asks and changes nothing;
one-click (form-encoded and multipart) stops the optional category at once, sends no mail about it, and leaves other categories and required mail alone;
the optional page can turn off all optional mail;
required mail's link opens preferences that turn off optional mail only;
a mismatched scope answers 400, an unknown or malformed token 404, a store failure 500;
a scheduled optional mail is cancelled after an unsubscribe;
do-not-contact addresses get nothing in any spelling (case, Gmail dots, +tag, display name, sha256: entry), including one added after queueing;
mail with no category and rows queued without one are not sent;
production with an http MAIL_PUBLIC_URL sends nothing;
the support address and escaping are right, and the contact relay is escaped and withholds Reply-To;
newsletter signups give one answer, and blocked addresses are never stored or synced;
the production compose file passes the mail settings, and empty postal settings fall back.
The same job runs auth-email.test.ts and a type check: tsc reports 0 errors across the package. mailer.test.ts is removed. Its cases asserted success: true from a mocked database, and the Postgres-backed suite covers the same paths. The default vitest.config.ts leaves the Postgres-backed suite to its own config.
Red first:
9962ba4 (tests alone) failed in Mail run 42515490219: the suite could not load ../unsubscribe.js, and the type step named the missing modules and the category option.
The fix (50f0da1, then 74be03d for a test-app stub) went green in run 42516507150: 40 and 14 tests passed.
A cold review raised four findings. The production compose dropped the mail settings. The newsletter bulk sync and the signup answer exposed the do-not-contact list. The default test config picked up the database suite.
Their tests ac5f876 failed in run 42517135594 (4 failed). The fix fcc4702 and 9ead4df went green in run 42517640624 (58 passed).
A fold check left the signup answer open when a provider refuses an ordinary address. The test 806df79 failed in run 42518065364, and a397e46 is green in run 42518193728 (45 and 14 passed; CI run 42518193751 green).
Merge. A master push runs ci.yml (tests, lint, type check and the web build; its deploy jobs are commented out) and test-versions.yml (if: false). With this change it also runs mail.yml. Nothing deploys or publishes.

Email sends now specify categories. The mailer checks suppression before queueing and sending, then prepares unsubscribe links, footers, and headers for eligible messages. Selected template values are HTML-escaped.
Adds GET and POST unsubscribe handling. Newsletter processing filters do-not-contact addresses, and contact relay messages escape submitted values and omit Reply-To for listed addresses. The newsletter route returns a fixed success response after the service call resolves.
Mail integration tests and CI packages/api-gateway/src/services/email/__tests__/*, packages/api-gateway/vitest*.config.ts, .github/workflows/mail.yml
Adds a Postgres-backed integration suite for mail delivery, unsubscribe choices, suppression, address filtering, and configuration. Adds a dedicated test configuration and workflow. Removes the previous mailer test file.

manicinc/synthstack#27 — This pull request changes contact relay escaping and Reply-To behavior, and makes the newsletter signup response uniform. The issue also reports mismatched web-app paths; the supplied change summaries do not show those paths being mapped.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review a397e
Most mail gets the unsubscribe footer in the right place. A user name containing certain Unicode characters, such as "İlker", can break the footer's placement and so its rendering and link. This is an edge case with a small, local fix, so it should be fixed but does not block the merge.

Every mail now has a category. At send time the sender reads the
do-not-contact list and the suppression list, mints a fresh token (only
its SHA-256 is stored), adds a footer with a visible Unsubscribe link and
the operator's postal address, and sends List-Unsubscribe and
List-Unsubscribe-Post. /api/v1/email/unsubscribe/:token shows the choice
on GET and saves it on POST, one-click included; required mail's link
opens preferences that turn off optional mail only. Nothing is sent about
an unsubscribe.
Also: email_queue.reference_id becomes text so receipts that reference
Stripe ids queue; the subscription confirmation gets the credits field its
template reads; auth mail names team@manic.agency instead of
support@synthstack.io; typed names are escaped; no mail text under 13px;
the newsletter skips do-not-contact addresses and the contact relay
escapes input and withholds Reply-To for them. The mocked mailer unit test
is replaced by the Postgres-backed mail test.
…not-contact addresses out of newsletter answers and bulk sync
deploy/docker-compose.yml lists the API's environment one by one and had
no FRONTEND_URL or mail settings, so production fell back to localhost and
the https check would stop every mail; MAIL_PUBLIC_URL and FRONTEND_URL now
default to the hosts its Traefik rules serve. Empty operator and postal
settings fall back to the stated address. The signup answer no longer
carries provider details, the bulk sync leaves do-not-contact addresses
out, a one-click POST gets a blank 200, and the default vitest config
leaves the Postgres-backed mail suite to its own config.

**Lost signups appear successful**
When the subscriber database write fails and no provider accepts the address, `NewsletterService.subscribe` returns an unsuccessful result, but the route logs only a generic warning and returns `{ success: true, message: 'Subscribed' }`; the address is not saved for admin sync and the caller sees a successful signup that was lost.
Return an unsuccessful response when neither the database nor any provider accepts the signup.

<issue_to_address>
**Unrelated POSTs unsubscribe recipients**
When a valid unsubscribe URL receives a POST without a `scope` field that does not contain `List-Unsubscribe=One-Click`, `requestedScope` returns `undefined`, and the POST handler treats that as a valid one-click unsubscribe without checking the request header; it creates a suppression and the recipient loses mail.
Only treat a POST without a `scope` field as a one-click unsubscribe when it contains `List-Unsubscribe=One-Click`.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Mail arrives after unsubscribe**
When a one-click POST inserts a suppression after a worker checks the address but before it calls the provider, `processQueueItem` proceeds based on the earlier `isSuppressed` result and sends the mail after the POST reports success, so the recipient still receives mail after unsubscribing.
Coordinate suppression writes with in-flight sends so a successful unsubscribe cannot race a provider call.
Also at `packages/api-gateway/src/routes/email-unsubscribe.ts:246`.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Concurrent workers send twice**
When a queue worker and a `processQueue()` run select or process the same pending row concurrently, two processors can handle the same queue row because `processQueueItem` marks it processing without a conditional claim or row lock. Both pass the suppression check, issue separate tokens and send the message, so the recipient gets duplicate mail.
Atomically claim a row only if it is still eligible, and proceed only when that claim succeeds.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Queue jobs send twice**
When two queue processors overlap on a row, or a provider accepts a message but the sent-state update fails before a retry, two processors can select the same pending row before either marks it processing; `processQueueItem` then sends it twice and issues a different unsubscribe token for each delivery. The same duplicate occurs when a provider accepts a message but the queue’s sent-state update fails and a retry sends it again, so recipients receive duplicate mail.
Atomically claim eligible rows before processing and make retries distinguish already-delivered messages where the provider supports idempotency.

<issue_to_address>
**Distinct addresses share suppressions**
When a domain treats plus-bearing local parts as distinct mailboxes and both addresses are used by the service, `canonicalAddress` strips `+tag` for every domain, and `addressHash` uses that result for unsubscribe tokens and do-not-contact checks; suppressing one address therefore also suppresses mail to the other.
Strip plus tags only for domains where plus addressing is known to be an alias convention.

**Blocked contacts remain subscribed**
When an address already synced to a newsletter provider is later added to `MAIL_DO_NOT_CONTACT`, `syncToProviders` omits the address from its push list but never unsubscribes or removes it from providers; the provider retains the active contact and can keep sending newsletters to it.
Unsubscribe or remove do-not-contact addresses from providers during synchronization.

**Custom templates are not queued**
When a caller uses a database template whose slug is absent from `TEMPLATE_CATEGORIES`, `resolveCategory` returns no category for the custom slug and does not fall back to a supplied reference type; `sendEmail` returns `UNKNOWN_CATEGORY` before queueing, so admin test sends and `sendTemplateEmail` calls do not send mail, and the helper discards the failure result.
Resolve a mail category for custom templates and ensure `sendTemplateEmail` reports failures instead of discarding them.

**Text-only emails fail to send**
When a caller queues an email with only a text body, `sendEmail` accepts a message with text but no HTML, but `appendFooter` receives the missing HTML and calls `toLowerCase()` on it. `processQueueItem` catches the resulting exception and marks the email failed instead of sending it.

**HTML-only mail lacks text footer**
When a queued message has an HTML body but no text body, `appendFooter` leaves `textWithFooter` undefined when the original text body is absent, so HTML-only messages have no text alternative containing the unsubscribe link, reason, or postal address.
Create a text body for HTML-only messages and append the text footer to it.

**Queue items get stuck processing**
When postgres becomes unavailable during the suppression lookup and remains unavailable during the catch-path retry update, `processQueueItem` marks the row `processing` before this suppression lookup. If Postgres is unavailable, the catch path also queries Postgres to update retry state; when that fails, the row remains `processing`, which `processQueue` does not select again, so the email is never retried.
Make processing claims recoverable, for example by requeuing stale `processing` rows, and ensure transient suppression-read failures can be retried.

**Rolling deploy cancels queued mail**
When old and new API instances overlap after migration 136, or old-version pending rows remain when new workers start, the migration adds a nullable `category` with no default or backfill, so an old API instance can still queue rows without one during a rolling deploy. A new instance then treats those rows as `UNKNOWN_CATEGORY` and cancels them, losing mail queued by the old instance.
Provide a compatibility period for old queue rows, such as a safe category backfill or a deploy sequence that drains old writers and rows before new workers cancel uncategorized mail.

**Webhook retries queue duplicate receipts**
When stripe redelivers a `checkout.session.completed` event after its first processing, the Stripe handler processes an event even when its `payment_webhooks` insert conflicts, and the checkout branches enqueue receipts without checking whether that event already queued one. Now that migration 136 lets the Stripe session IDs fit in `email_queue.reference_id`, a redelivery queues another credits, subscription, or lifetime welcome email for the same checkout.
Check whether the event was already processed and make each receipt enqueue idempotent by event or checkout-session ID.

**Unsubscribe token rows grow forever**
When the service sends mail continuously over time, `issueToken` inserts a row for every send, and no expiry or pruning path removes token rows; the table and its indexes grow permanently with mail volume, increasing database storage and maintenance costs.

**Provider failures lose diagnostic detail**
When A newsletter provider rejects a signup or throws an error, the route logs only that no provider confirmed a signup and returns a uniform response; `NewsletterService.subscribe` catches provider errors into `results` without logging them. When a provider rejects or fails, operators cannot see the cause in the logs, so signup delivery failures are harder to diagnose.
Log provider names and failure details internally while keeping the public response uniform.

When the signup implementation calls a provider for a blocked address but preserves the uniform response, a regression can call `provider.subscribe` for a do-not-contact address while still returning the same response and skipping local storage; this test only compares signup responses, so it passes with the address sent to a provider.

12-16: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality
The /subscribe route now reports success when no provider confirmed the signup.
The route always returns { success: true, message: 'Subscribed' }. When result.success is false, for example because every provider rejected the address, the client still sees success. This is a deliberate trade-off to avoid revealing do-not-contact status, and the code comment states it. The cost is that real provider outages become invisible to users. Make sure operators monitor the new warn log, or the admin sync will be the only recovery path. The code is acceptable as written.

…parts on every mail, one-click needs its field
A processor claims a queue row with a conditional update before sending,
so the worker, the cron route and the in-process fallback never send one
row twice; a row left in processing for 15 minutes is claimable again.
Rows queued without a category take their template's or reference type's.
Stripe receipts carry a once-only key. A text-only mail gets an HTML part
and an HTML-only mail a text part, both with the footer. The footer is
placed by searching the original HTML (lower-casing can change its length).
A POST without a scope needs List-Unsubscribe=One-Click; request lines for
the unsubscribe routes stay out of the logs; old token rows are pruned by
the cleanup worker; deliberate stops are final in the queue worker.
Newsletter signups answer by local storage and log provider failures; the
bulk sync logs the do-not-contact addresses it holds back.
On the two nitpicks in the CodeRabbit review of a397e46:
resetSchema guard: added in 34b855d. The suite refuses to run unless the database name in TEST_DATABASE_URL contains "test" (CI uses mail_test).
/newsletter/subscribe answer: changed in 4f2bd70 after the Sourcery thread on lost signups. The answer now says whether the signup is stored locally (Failed when it cannot be stored), provider refusals and errors are logged with the provider's name, and a do-not-contact address gets the answer a stored signup would.

Optional:onboarding,usage_alerts,trial_reminders,summaries,invitations,staff_alerts. A mail with no known category is not queued.MAIL_DO_NOT_CONTACT) and the suppression list (email_suppressions) are read when a mail is queued and again when it leaves the queue. A scheduled mail to an address that unsubscribed in between is cancelled. A do-not-contact address gets nothing, receipts and password resets included.email_unsubscribe_tokens), with the SHA-256 of the recipient's canonical address and the category. The raw token is only in the mail.MAIL_OPERATOR_NAME,MAIL_POSTAL_ADDRESS; the address the site footer andconfig.jsongive). The same lines go in the text part.List-Unsubscribe: <https://…/api/v1/email/unsubscribe/<token>>andList-Unsubscribe-Post: List-Unsubscribe=One-Click(RFC 8058), on the Resend call and on the SMTP fallback.MAIL_PUBLIC_URLis not https underNODE_ENV=production, or a commercial mail has no postal address./api/v1/email/unsubscribe/:token(routes/email-unsubscribe.ts):Also in this change:
email_queue.reference_idwas a UUID column, but receipts reference Stripe ids (cs_…,sub_…) and the lifetime mails reference GitHub usernames. Each insert failed, so credits-purchased, subscription-confirmed and all three lifetime mails were never queued. Migration 136 makes the column text.credits, but both callers passed onlycreditsPerDay, so EJS threw. Both now passcreditstoo.support@synthstack.io. No page of the product names that domain (they use synthstack.app andteam@manic.agency); today it shows a "Coming Soon" page and its mail goes to Mailgun. Auth mail now namesSUPPORT_EMAIL, defaultteam@manic.agency(the address the privacy and GDPR pages give)./preferences/email?userId=…, a page that does not exist. It now carries the mail's token link.POST /newsletter/subscribenow gives one answer for every signup, so the answer reveals nothing about the list. Provider outcomes go to the log.services/email.ts).

Spec, plan and design
The owner's rule of 4 November 2026: every mail any product sends carries a visible unsubscribe link and the RFC 8058 one-click headers. A GET asks and a POST suppresses at once. Required mail's link opens preferences. No unsubscribe confirmation mail. Postal address on commercial mail. Do-not-contact addresses suppressed before any send. The law it follows: CAN-SPAM (15 U.S.C. 7704, 16 CFR 316), PECR, RFC 8058, and Gmail's and Yahoo's sender rules.
Pictures
None: this repository does not render mail in CI. The footer markup is checked by the mail tests (link, 13px floor, postal line, text part).
