It will only let me do 4 links in a post so I am going to have to reply to you a couple times here to get it all in.

So, i just want to go over everything you are wanting me to do before starting, as I have email sending ability now and I couldnt be happier. My wife actually has never seen me so happy lol

you want me to delete THESE two, which is the 2nd and 3rd ones on my list

v=spf1 redirect=icloud.com

v=spf1 mx include: 173.255.203.251 ~all

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

and add THIS

β€œv=spf1 include:icloud.com ip4:173.255.203.251 -all”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

BUT……. and you said i should only have ONE SP TXT and I have 3 currently, and my first one actually says this……

β€œv=spf1 include:icloud.com ~all”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Which is not the one you told me to add in your previous post which is THIS….

β€œv=spf1 include:icloud.com ip4:173.255.203.251 -all”

So should I delete the first one as well and just add the one you above that you asked me to do?

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

THEN……

you want me to shut off the proxy on the _domainconnect CNAME.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

And finally you want me to add……

Name: sig1._domainkey
Value: sig1.dkim.therocknrollrealtor.com.at.icloudmailadmin.com.

You want me to add that and keep the other 2 CNAME’s or delete them?

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

That is a LOT and my email IS working for the first time in over a year when sending to gmail, so I just want to make sure I read all of your comments correctly. If so, I will do it, cuz you seriously made my YEAR. But I also need to keep records in case for some reason it doesn’t work and I can get back to this.

I cant thank you enough, seriously. Let me know If I am correct with all of this and then I will go from there

All the best!

In the screenshot that looked like the one I told you to add.

Basically the only TXT record starting with v=spf1 that you should have is the one I said to add:

"v=spf1 include:icloud.com ip4:173.255.203.251 -all"

So just delete all TXT records starting with v=spf1 and then add that one.

Yes.

Keep the others as well. This new one is your DKIM entry, as specified by Apple, that will be the last piece of the puzzle in getting you set up 100% correctly.

ok this is what I have now

Look good?

I’m going to try and send an email to gmail now. fingers crossed!

Well, bad news, I sent 5 emails to gmail accounts and they ALL came back to me immediately.

I saved all my old info. Unless you have more thoughts on this, I will try ad go back to what I had earlier that was working for the first time in over a year. I guess the big Q is, am I having issues sending to anyone else other than gmail now

sigh…

OK, I think I found the mistake. In the name I had rocknrollrealtor.com NOT therocknrollrealtor.com. I sent another email out to 5 people and it hasn’t come back yet.

Holding to see what happens

Your CNAME for sig1._domainkey should have the proxy shut off.

In general anything for email should have the proxy shut off.

I’m glad you got it working!
