DNS IP Compromised error

[lielowspark]

Hi here, so I get this error message: “The record exposes the IP behind mail.dylandevs.co.za which you have proxied through Cloudflare”. How can I fix this?

[erictung]

This message should be considered as Warning instead of Error. I believe that DNS record is related to mail, so that DNS record shouldn’t be proxied .

You may ignore this warning as you can’t avoid the fact that you are sharing the same IP across email systems and websites.

But I am not receiving mail nor can I send mail from my domain email. I am able to log into webmail though… so what might be the reason for this then? Why isn’t my mail working

[erictung]

Can you post a screenshot of your DNS page which shows all DNS records - you may censor your IP addresses before posting.

Here is a sce

enshot of my DNS records

I believe smtp and pop shouldn’t be proxied too.

Also if you have an FTP server, unproxy the ftp also.

[cscharff]

Those are questions for your mail host. That SMTP error is being generated by your mail client / mail host which is not Cloudflare

[lielowspark]

So I unproxied them and the issue still presists.

Then you might need to follow @cscharff advice.
