A Sending Domain and Its Addresses, and Why an Applied Resource Is Not a Sender
A DirectMail sending domain and the addresses that send from it. Creating the domain does not verify it: nothing sends until the SPF, DKIM, MX and ownership records exist in DNS, which is usually not this Terraform, and the status output is how you find out. trigger and batch are different products with the same name and are throttled and reviewed differently.
Verification
Static-verifiedPassed: validated and lint-clean (provider-schema-validated for AWS/Azure/GCP; Terraform-language lint elsewhere).

- No applicable security policies for this provider
- Plan tests (mocked: validation rules · outputs)

Documentation
alicloud-transactional-email
Transactional email on Alibaba Cloud DirectMail. Works with Terraform and OpenTofu
(>= 1.6), alicloud provider >= 1.0, < 2.0.
Creating the domain does not verify it. The resource applies and DirectMail will not send until the SPF, DKIM, MX and ownership records exist in DNS - which is usually not this Terraform. The status output is how you find out.
Without SPF and DKIM the mail goes to spam, and that is the normal outcome, not a rare misconfiguration. The failure is silent: the API accepts every message and nobody sees one.
sendtype trigger and batch are different products with the same name - transactional versus bulk - throttled and reviewed differently, and sending bulk through a trigger address is how an account gets suspended.
Verification
Static validation runs tofu fmt, init, validate, tflint and checkov.
This module has not yet had a live test, so it is published as statically
validated with its live test pending and does not carry the live-tested mark.

- Usage
Related modules
alicloud-mns-queue
A Message Service queue with a dead-letter queue that receives a message after five failed receives, long polling, logging on (it is off by default and is the only record of what was sent), and server-side encryption with your KMS key on both queues (the service key by name).
tencent-ses
A Tencent Cloud SES domain, its addresses and its templates. The module exposes the exact DNS records Tencent is waiting for, because that is the thing you need next and it lives outside this Terraform. DKIM is on, since unsigned mail is accepted by the API, filed as spam and reported as sent; and a template is reviewed manually before it works.
scaleway-transactional-email
A Scaleway Transactional Email domain with the SPF, DKIM, DMARC and MX records it needs exported (and written automatically when the domain is in Scaleway DNS), the terms of service accepted by name, and a validation step that polls until the records resolve so an apply fails rather than pretends when they are not published yet.
azure-communication-email
Azure Communication Services email from your own domain: the email service, the domain with the DNS records to publish exported, sender addresses as a map, and the Communication Services resource that sends. CustomerManaged rather than the random azurecomm.net subdomain (accepted by name), engagement tracking off, and the key-based connection string sensitive; managed identity is the better path.
aws-ses
An SES v2 sending stack - a configuration set with an optional domain/email identity (Easy DKIM) - with TLS required, bounce/complaint suppression, and reputation metrics to CloudWatch.
oci-email-delivery
A domain without DKIM sends mail that looks forged and lands in spam; without a custom return path, bounces go to Oracle's domain and DMARC alignment fails; and a From address that is not an approved sender is refused by the API. DKIM key created, return path created, senders listed and checked against the domain, and every DNS record to publish exported in one output.
