DNS Record with special chars converted to real Domain

What is the name of the domain?

dänemark.shop

What is the issue you’re encountering

dns record not matching

What feature, service or problem is this related to?

DNS records

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

i’m using mailerlite for sending newsletters and we are using at mailerlite our domain"dänemark.shop" (with special characters) as domain “xn–dnemark-5wa.shop”.

i have made dns records at cloudlfare with “xn–dnemark-5wa.shop” but they are converted automatically to “dänemark.shop” and the dns records are not matching :frowning:

xn–dnemark-5wa.shop is punycode which is a way of making the non-ascii characters in dänemark.shop compatible with DNS. The Cloudflare DNS page is just decoding it back from Punycode for you.

The records will be correct…

If you are having problems getting the records validated, make sure any CNAMEs they are checking are set to “DNS only”.

Otherwise, can you show the DNS records you are being asked to set.

Hi, thanks for the replay. The problem is that cloudflare converts de url and mailchimp not :slight_smile:

Can you show a screenshot of your Cloudflare DNS records?

A) You should use @ as the name for your records so that the name isn’t in it twice.
B) You can only have one SPF record.

ok, the @ solved the problem, thanks

and i have combined the spf records
