  2. SPF, DKIM, DMARC: Add or update TXT and CNAME records for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to improve email deliverability and security.

  3. Other Records: Some providers may require additional CNAME or A records for services like autodiscover, mail, or webmail access.

  4. Are you using Microsoft 365 for email?
    → Remove the CNAME records for imap, pop, and smtp if you no longer use your own mail server.
