-- **Error**: `reverse_proxy mad-lawsuit-frontend-1:806` (external port)
-- **Solution**: `reverse_proxy mad-lawsuit-frontend-1:3000` (internal port)
-- **Resolution**: Updated Caddyfile and restarted Caddy container
+**Solution Implemented**:

+    </a>
+  </div>
+</footer>
+```
+
+### Email System URL Fix - COMPLETED ✅
+**Problem**: Email notifications were linking to localhost instead of production domain, and missing unsubscribe instructions.
+
+**Issues Fixed**:
+
+1. **Production URL Issue** ✅ FIXED
+   - **Problem**: Email links pointed to `localhost:3000` instead of production domain
+   - **Impact**: Subscribers couldn't access website from email notifications
+   - **Solution**: Updated all email links to use `https://mad-lawsuit.org/`
+   - **File**: `backend/src/services/emailService.ts`
+
+2. **Email Text Improvement** ✅ FIXED
+   - **Problem**: Generic "court docket website" text in emails
+   - **Impact**: Less professional email presentation
+   - **Solution**: Changed to "You can view the complete docket and any associated documents by visiting the website:" with website as clickable link
+   - **File**: `backend/src/services/emailService.ts`
+
+3. **Missing Unsubscribe Instructions** ✅ FIXED
+   - **Problem**: No clear unsubscribe instructions for email recipients
+   - **Impact**: Users couldn't easily unsubscribe from notifications
+   - **Solution**: Added "To unsubscribe, please send an email to eliza.kragh@gmail.com" in footer
+   - **File**: `backend/src/services/emailService.ts`
+
+### Email Changes Made:
+```html
+<!-- Before -->
+<p>You can view the complete docket and any associated documents by visiting the court docket website:</p>
+<a href="${process.env['FRONTEND_URL'] || 'http://localhost:3000'}" class="button">View Court Docket</a>
+
+<!-- After -->
+<p>You can view the complete docket and any associated documents by visiting the <a href="https://mad-lawsuit.org/">website</a>:</p>
+<a href="https://mad-lawsuit.org/" class="button">View Court Docket</a>
+<p>To unsubscribe, please send an email to eliza.kragh@gmail.com</p>
+```
+
+### PDF Upload Issue - FULLY RESOLVED ✅
+**Problem**: Users could not upload PDF documents through the admin dashboard, receiving various errors.
+
+**Root Causes Identified and Fixed**:
+
+1. **Network Connectivity Issue** ✅ FIXED
+   - **Problem**: Frontend container only on `caddy_network`, backend on `app-network` 
+   - **Impact**: Frontend couldn't reach backend for API calls
+   - **Solution**: Added frontend to both networks in `docker-compose.yml`
+   - **Commit**: 910bd525
+
+2. **MIME Type Validation Issue** ✅ FIXED
+   - **Problem**: Backend fileFilter only accepted `application/pdf` MIME type
+   - **Impact**: Valid PDFs rejected due to browser MIME detection variations
+   - **Solution**: Enhanced fileFilter to accept multiple PDF MIME types + file extension fallback
+   - **File**: `backend/src/routes/documents.ts`
+   - **Commit**: 9ab09196
+
+3. **Missing Form Data Issue** ✅ FIXED
+   - **Problem**: Frontend only sending `file` and `docketEntryId`, missing required `title` field
+   - **Impact**: Backend validation failing with "title is required" error
+   - **Solution**: Added all required fields to FormData in dashboard upload
+   - **File**: `frontend/src/app/admin/dashboard/page.tsx`
+   - **Commit**: 8027ef0a
+
+### Technical Details
+
+**Network Architecture Fixed**:
 ```yaml
-# Port Configuration:
-- Frontend: Port 806 (external) → 806 (internal) ✅
-- Backend: Internal only via caddy_network ✅
-- Database/Redis: Internal app-network only ✅
-
-# Volume Configuration (Host Path Mounts):
-- PDFs: /docker/websites/mad-lawsuit/uploads:/app/uploads ✅
-- Database: /docker/websites/mad-lawsuit/postgres_data:/var/lib/postgresql/data ✅
-- Cache: /docker/websites/mad-lawsuit/redis_data:/data ✅
+frontend:
+  networks:
+    - app-network      # Added for backend communication
+    - caddy_network    # Existing for reverse proxy
 ```
 
-### **🔹 DNS & SSL Configuration:**
-- **Primary Domain**: mad-lawsuit.org → 136.37.206.161 ✅
-- **WWW Domain**: www.mad-lawsuit.org → 136.37.206.161 ✅
-- **SSL Certificate**: Automatic Let's Encrypt provisioning ✅
-- **WWW Redirect**: Configured (SSL provisioning in progress)
-
-## 📋 **CADDY CONFIGURATION (WORKING):**
-
-### **Final Caddyfile Configuration:**
-```
-www.mad-lawsuit.org {
-    redir https://mad-lawsuit.org{uri} permanent
-}
-
-mad-lawsuit.org {
-    reverse_proxy mad-lawsuit-frontend-1:806
-}
+**Enhanced PDF Detection**:
+```javascript
+const allowedMimeTypes = [
+  'application/pdf',
+  'application/x-pdf', 
+  'application/acrobat',
+  'applications/vnd.pdf',
+  'text/pdf',
+  'text/x-pdf'
+];
 ```
 
-### **Network Connectivity:**
-- **caddy_network**: External network for reverse proxy ✅
-- **app-network**: Internal network for database/Redis ✅
-- **Container Communication**: All services connected properly ✅
+**Complete Form Data**:
+```javascript
+uploadFormData.append('file', selectedFile);
+uploadFormData.append('docketEntryId', data.entry.id.toString());
+uploadFormData.append('title', selectedFile.name.replace('.pdf', ''));
+uploadFormData.append('summary', '');
+uploadFormData.append('notes', '');
+```
 
-## 🔧 **TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED:**
+## Current Status
 
-### **✅ Issues Resolved:**
-1. **502 Gateway Error**: Fixed port mapping in Caddy configuration
-2. **Container Health**: Frontend container healthy and responding
-3. **Network Connectivity**: Proper Docker network configuration
-4. **SSL Certificates**: Automatic Let's Encrypt working
-5. **DNS Resolution**: Both domains resolving correctly
+### What's Working ✅
+- Network connectivity between frontend and backend
+- PDF MIME type detection (multiple formats)
+- Form validation with all required fields
+- Error logging and debugging
+- **Email system with production URLs** (https://mad-lawsuit.org/)
+- **Professional unsubscribe instructions** (eliza.kragh@gmail.com)
+- **DeafGain LLC footer branding** with professional styling
+- All code committed and pushed to Git
 
-### **✅ Admin Login Network Error - COMPLETELY RESOLVED:**
-**Problem**: Frontend JavaScript making direct backend calls instead of using Next.js proxy
-- **Root Cause**: `fetch('http://localhost:3001/api/auth/login')` bypassing proxy
-- **Solution**: Changed to `fetch('/api/auth/login')` using Next.js rewrites
-- **Database Issue**: Missing migrations and admin user after redeployment
-- **Resolution**: Applied migrations and created admin user with new credentials
+### Next Steps for User
+1. **Redeploy frontend container** in Portainer to apply footer changes
+2. **Redeploy backend container** in Portainer to apply email fixes
+3. **Test website footer** - should show "Designed by DeafGain LLC" at bottom
+4. **Test email notifications** - should now link to https://mad-lawsuit.org/
+5. **Verify unsubscribe instructions** appear in email footer
 
-### **✅ Current Admin Credentials:**
-- **Username**: `eliza`
-- **Password**: `AXEoZWk2AMAD0naw`
-- **Login Status**: WORKING ✅
-- **Access**: https://mad-lawsuit.org/admin
+### Files Modified
+- `docker-compose.yml` - Network configuration
+- `backend/src/routes/documents.ts` - Enhanced PDF validation
+- `frontend/src/app/admin/dashboard/page.tsx` - Fixed form data
+- **`backend/src/services/emailService.ts` - Updated URLs and unsubscribe info**
+- **`frontend/src/app/page.tsx` - Added DeafGain LLC footer**
 
-### **✅ Verification Tests Passed:**
-- **Main Domain**: `curl https://mad-lawsuit.org` → HTTP 200 ✅
-- **Admin Panel**: `curl https://mad-lawsuit.org/admin` → HTTP 200 ✅
-- **Admin Login**: JWT token returned successfully ✅
-- **Response Time**: 0.09 seconds (excellent performance) ✅
-- **SSL Security**: HTTPS encryption active ✅
+### Deployment Notes
+- User manages deployment via Portainer (not direct SSH)
+- All fixes are committed to Git repository
+- Backend and frontend both need redeployment to apply fixes
 
-## 📊 **CURRENT SYSTEM STATUS:**
+## Investigation Process
