Why AI-built apps get this
Mail records live in DNS, not in your code, so no coding agent touches them. The result is a password reset that lands in spam and a domain anybody can send mail as. It is one of the few serious items on a result that is fixed entirely outside the app.
What it affects
Mail servers can see which services are allowed to send using your domain.
What the evidence line looks like
no TXT record beginning v=spf1 found for example.com
Every finding on a result carries a line like this one: the request that was made and the answer that came back. You can run the same request yourself and get the same answer, which is the point.
The fix
Nothing to change here.
Prompt for your coding agent
Keep the SPF record up to date as sending services change.
A result gives you this prompt written for your builder, in its own dialect, and a batch prompt that carries every fix at once.
