Outgoing email error

[lmce]

Just setup my cloudflare.

Unfortunately, outgoing emails aren’t working. I contacted my server and they said I need to update the MX field.
My outgoing server is mail. learnmuscles. com and that’s what is noted on Cloudflare but my server says it’s pushing to _dc-mx.005447a6aed5. learnmuscles. com

How can this be fixed?
Thanks

Welcome to the Cloudflare Community.

Make sure that your mail hostname is set to DNS Only.

Thx for the quick reply. Unfortunately, this is all new to me and I’m not sure what to do even after reading your link.
I don’t understand this:

• If mail is received for the domain, update the MX record to resolve to a separate A record for a mail subdomain that is not proxied by Cloudflare:
  example.com MX mail.example.com mail.example.com A 192.0.2.1 example.com A 203.0.113.1

I don’t understand this:

Turn off the proxy as directed.

Which line do I turn off proxy?

Where is mail hostname?

Please explain to me step by step like a 3 year old. I really need my emails to work.
Thx!

SOLVED!

1- Changed the MX record server to mail.example. com instead of the default example. com
2- change the CNAME mail to A and replaced example. com with IP address and removed proxy.
