Hi,
I’m looking to complete the setup steps still outstanding in my Cloudflare account.
How to resolve these two steps, please?
Add an A, AAAA, or CNAME record for www so that www.domainname.com will resolve.
Some of your DNS only records are exposing IPs that are proxied through Cloudflare. Make sure to proxy all A, AAAA, and CNAME records pointing to proxied records to avoid exposing your origin IP.
Thank you in advance!
This is usually an “A” record for ‘www’ with the same IP address as your domain name.
This is unavoidable if you host email on the same server as your website. Which records have the little icon?
The MX record has the little icon. The only one I can see that does.
Ultimately, the MX record points to your server so it can receive email. Here are some instructions for properly configuring DNS and mail:

Thanks for sharing this tutorial. It gave me a clearer understanding.
I checked and I am receiving mail with the standard settings as they are.
So after watching this video it looks like nothing more can be done.
