Mail Topology (MVP)
Nova supports two email identity paths.
Identity paths
- Managed Mailbox (Mailcow): Nova provisions assistant inboxes
- Google Backup Sender: optional fallback when primary sending fails
Recommended production shape
- API and dashboard on app hosts
- Mailcow on its own persistent server
- managed Mongo/Redis
Send behavior
When backup is enabled:
- try managed sender first
- if it fails, retry with Google backup sender
Important note
Google backup alias must exist and be verified in Google send-as settings.
