## 21:24 — Email DNS Audit (Rivet task)
Audited rateright.com.au email DNS for cold email readiness:
- **SPF:** ✅ OK — includes Google Workspace via _spf.google.com, softfail
- **DKIM:** ❌ MISSING — no DKIM record for any selector. Blocker for cold email.
- **DMARC:** ⚠️ BROKEN — two conflicting TXT records on _dmarc, making DMARC invalid per RFC
- **MX:** ✅ Google Workspace
- **DNS:** GoDaddy (domaincontrol.com nameservers)
Fixes require GoDaddy DNS panel + Google Workspace admin access. Reported to Rivet with full details and fix instructions.
