Screenshot of the error

In order to send properly authenticated email through iCloud, you will have to make the following adjustments to your DNS records:

  1. DKIM

Add this CNAME record:

Type: CNAME
Name: sig1._domainkey
Target: sig1.dkim.readigov.com.at.icloudmailadmin.com
Proxy status: :grey: Unproxied / DNS-only

  1. SPF

You do already have one TXT record, with the β€œName” field being β€œreadigov.com”, and where the β€œContent” field is starting with β€œv=spf1”.

Change the content of that record, so it will become:

Type: TXT
Name: readigov.com
Content: v=spf1 include:icloud.com -all

  1. You have a TXT record, with the β€œName” field being β€œreadigov.com”, and where the β€œContent” field is is β€œ17.58.63.182”.
    β†’ Delete that one.
