Your image did not upload. I do not see two records that I would expect with iCloud Custom Domains.

A CNAME record at sig1._domainkey.choliver.net with a target of sig1.dkim.choliver.net.at.icloudmailadmin.com

A TXT record at choliver.net that contains apple-domain=REDACTED

Thank you so much.

OK I have added the TXT record, but for the A record it is asking for a IPv4 address. Am I doing something wrong here?

Am I doing something wrong here?

The type should be CNAME, the Name (required) should be sig1._domainkey, and the first bit of the target is sig1, not ig1.

You could delete the TXT record example I gave with REDACTED, that was just a placeholder for the value Apple gave you, which you have entered correctly.

Thanks Michael,

It all seems to be working now. Just for a final review before we close this one out:

a final review

The TXT record that contained REDACTED was just an example, and you can delete it.
