I am not receiving verification emails from certain websites and apps. My server says I need to go the the cloudflare dashboard change the MX record and A (mail) record to " DNS only".
If you could explain how I do this, that would be greatly appreciated.
On the DNS page of your dashboard, you will see a list of records.
There will likely be one with type MX that points to mail.yourdomain.tld. If that’s the case, find the record with type A with the name mail and click edit next to it. There should then be a toggle by the to turn it to DNS Only.
If you need more help, please post a screenshot of your DNS page with the IP addresses redacted.
