Mail.example.com
not resolving, DNS & Network
A few days ago, I connected my client’s site to cloudflare mainly to encrypt their site with an ssl certificate.
Everything worked perfectly! I was amazed.
Now suddenly their not getting any email. mail. is not resolving to it’s destination IP. Or I should say it’s not resolving at all.
The strange thing is that I haven’t made any changes on the hosting side nor on cloudflare.
My current DNS records on cloud flare are as follows:
- A
example.com
IP-Of-Website-Hosting-Server Auto Proxied - CNAME ftp example_dot_com Auto Proxied
- CNAME www example_dot_com Auto Proxied
- MX mail IP-Of-Mail-Server 10 4hr DNS only (This one I just added in hopes it would help)
- TXT mail v=spf1 +mx +a +ip4:IP-Of-Mail-Server ~all Auto DNS only
- TXT example_dot_com v=spf1 +mx +a +ip4:IP-Of-Mail-Server ~all Auto DNS only
Did I do something wrong on the cloudflare side? Or should be looking at the mail hosting side of thing?
FYI:
domain regstrar points to clouldflare.
cloudflare is supposed to point everything except for ftp and the website over to the hosting server
Everything was working until today and I don’t know what happened.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
