Hi all.
I am trying to use my own domains with the new Apple’s iCloud Custom Domain email service. But after many tries I only get error messages from the iCloud panel. Basically “Check the DKIM Record”.
I post below the records I am supposed to create (using example.com as the domain, but I amentering with my own domain, indeed). And here are the questions:
1. MX records: should I insert a trailing dot “.” at the end? I am not doing this as I ever did it before with ZoneEdit with my other email servers and they work.
2. SPF (TXT) Recrod: should I use the quotes at the beginning and end of text, or not needed for ZoneEdit?
3. For all MX and TXT records: can I use @ as the host name, or should I insert examp0le.com instead? I am currently using @ and it seems to work for my other records in other domains.
DKIM (CNAME) Record: well, this is the real problem, or one of them. When I try to use a CNAME record, it tells me that the targe taddress is not valid. When I use a TXT record as an alternative, I get an error messabge from iCloud. When I use the DKIM record in the ZoneEdit Control Panel… I have no idea what to do with the info provided by Apple….
Has anybody succeeded with iCloud Custom Domain and ZoneEdit? Can anybody help me with the set up?
Here is the Apple-provided info:
****
.
TXT:
SPF:
MX:
MX:
DKIM:
Note: If your registrar does not support “@”, enter your domain name as the host. Make sure to include the full stop at the end of the MX and DKIM values. Start by including the full stop at the end of the MX and DKIM values and quotes in the SPF TXT record. If it fails, try entering the values without the quotes or without the ending punctuation.

Thanks in advance
