Following the instructions from the video(s) I added the following DNS records:
- MX record - domain.co.uk 10 store1.dynu.com
- MX record - domain.co.uk 20 store2.dynu.com
- CNAME record - mail.domain.co.uk domain.co.uk
- TXT(SPF) record - "v=spf1 a:relay.dynu.com ~all"
- TXT record - mail._domainkey.relay.domain.co.uk - IN TXT "xxxxxxxxx and so on"
- We didn't find a mail server (MX Record) behind your domain name relay.domain.co.uk.
- You do not have a DMARC record
