Add soniqmail.co.uk.soniq-email template

[jonnyweareone]

Description

SONIQ — UK-native AI-native UCaaS/CPaaS platform. This template configures a customer's domain to send transactional email through SONIQ (backed by Amazon SES via Resend).

• Provider ID: soniqmail.co.uk
• Service ID: soniq-email
• Provider website: https://soniqmail.co.uk
• Company: We Are One 1 Limited (trading as SONIQ Labs), UK Company No. 15052885
• Technical contact: jonny@weareone1.co.uk

Records installed

Three DNS records under the customer's domain:

1. TXT at resend._domainkey.<domain> — DKIM signing key, variable-substituted per customer (%dkim_value%)
2. MX at send.<domain> → feedback-smtp.eu-west-1.amazonses.com priority 10 — return-path for bounces (SES)
3. SPFM at send.<domain> → include:amazonses.com — mergeable SPF for SES

Only DKIM lands on the customer's root (at the resend._domainkey selector). Return-path + SPF are isolated on the send. subdomain, so the template is safe to apply alongside any existing mail setup on the root domain.

Type of change

• New template
• Bug fix
• New feature
• Breaking change

How Has This Been Tested?

• Template functionality checked using Online Editor — see links below
• Template file name follows the pattern <providerId>.<serviceId>.json → soniqmail.co.uk.soniq-email.json
• logoUrl — N/A: no logoUrl present (omitted intentionally rather than pointing to a placeholder)

Additionally: template passes dc-template-linter locally with zero warnings or errors:

$ dc-template-linter soniqmail.co.uk.soniq-email.json ; echo exit=$?
exit=0

Signature signing/verification independently confirmed end-to-end via OpenSSL against the DNS-published pubkey (resolved via {key}.{syncPubKeyDomain} = _dck1.soniqmail.co.uk):

$ openssl dgst -sha256 -sign private.pem -out sig.bin canonical.txt
$ openssl dgst -sha256 -verify pubkey.pem -signature sig.bin canonical.txt
Verified OK

Checklist of common problems

• syncPubKeyDomain is set (soniqmail.co.uk)
• warnPhishing is not set alongside syncPubKeyDomain
• syncRedirectDomain — N/A: template does not use redirect_uri as a variable in any record; redirect_uri is passed as a standard Domain Connect protocol parameter at apply time, not templated
• no TXT record contains SPF content ("v=spf1 ...") — SPF uses SPFM record type
• txtConflictMatchingMode — N/A: only one TXT record (DKIM at resend._domainkey), no risk of matching conflicts because the selector is fixed and there is only ever one such record per domain
• no variable is used as a bare full record value with the following justification: %dkim_value% is the entire DKIM TXT record data because DKIM records are prescribed by RFC 6376 to contain only the key parameters (typically p=<base64>) — adding a service-specific prefix would produce an invalid DKIM record. Matches mailjet.com.domain-auth.json (%dkimtxt%) and other canonical email-authentication template patterns
• no bare variable is used as the full host label — all record hosts are fixed strings (resend._domainkey, send)
• no variable is used in the host field to create a subdomain
• %host% does not appear explicitly in any host attribute
• essential — N/A: none of the three records are intended to be modified by the end user; all are system-managed as a unit
