They're also hell-bent on 1 hour TTLs for some reason (despite everyone moving towards 5 minutes or lower for various reasons - btw I changed them all to 5 minutes and it unsurprisingly didn't cause any issues). They don't even mention DMARC in the documentation despite how important it is.


Added a DMARC record via CNAME with policy reject and it's been working just fine (I review the XMLs occasionally and they're always all 3 passing), but now I'm kind of worried lol.Īnyway it's been working great for him, but in some areas Apple needs to step up their game a bit imo. com (which was somehow miraculously available despite his pretty common, short name) and set it up with the service since he already uses Apple One. My dad has wanted a custom email for a while so I snapped up his. What do you guys mean by DMARC "supported"? It's late so maybe I'm just slow at the moment but I don't see how Apple would be able to prevent anybody using iCloud custom domain from adding a DMARC record (or prevent mail receivers from querying for and applying it). Anyone have any light to shed on this?Ĭlick to expand. Obviously this is now the live service, not beta. Apple says this is irrelevant and it should still work. I’ve suggested to Apple that one key fact to consider is that this custom domain is the domain that all family members use for their Apple ID.
Em client beta update#
Waiting nearly a month now and after repeated requests for an update they have nothing to say other than “Our Engineers are still investigating…” I’ve opened a support case with Apple who so far have been useless. This is repeatable - tried a couple of times. Removing the custom domain fixes everything. The family accounts can send mail OK and in all other respects their email systems seem to be working, except for reception. The sender sees a bounce-back message informing that the mail cannot be delivered but there’s not a lot of useful information in the headers. Not just on the new custom domain but on any of their iCloud mail address. They all have the same symptom which is that they cannot receive mail.

All very straightforward and for me everything works normally.īut for the three family members everything goes wrong. I’ve created a family shared domain, added my own and three other family member mail addresses from the domain.
