Cloudflare Record Set — audasmedia.com.au (ready to paste)

Prepared 2026-08-31. To be applied in Cloudflare DNS once nameservers are authoritative. Email: SES outbound + Cloudflare Email Routing inbound (→ Gmail). $0/month.

A. Existing site records (PRESERVE — do not change)

Type Name Value Proxy
A @ 173.231.229.92 DNS only (grey cloud)
A cpanel 173.231.229.92 DNS only
A webmail 173.231.229.92 DNS only
A ftp 173.231.229.92 DNS only
CNAME www @ DNS only
CNAME mail @ DNS only

⚠️ Keep these on DNS only (grey cloud) — do NOT proxy/orange-cloud them, to avoid surprises while sites are on InMotion.

B. SES outbound records (from SES console 2026-08-31)

DKIM (3 CNAMEs)

Type Name Value
CNAME 3hcitiezqbwlyyrqhvuovye47ybnbheq._domainkey.audasmedia.com.au 3hcitiezqbwlyyrqhvuovye47ybnbheq.dkim.amazonses.com
CNAME lswlbc3gsmshm4b22bpyfn5k2evdgrdh._domainkey.audasmedia.com.au lswlbc3gsmshm4b22bpyfn5k2evdgrdh.dkim.amazonses.com
CNAME ac5j6wxukvq6b5dacrp5xgzkdsovmm2e._domainkey.audasmedia.com.au ac5j6wxukvq6b5dacrp5xgzkdsovmm2e.dkim.amazonses.com

DMARC

Type Name Value
TXT _dmarc.audasmedia.com.au "v=DMARC1; p=none;"

MAIL FROM custom-domain records: SKIP for now (low volume; default SES works fine).

C. Cloudflare Email Routing (inbound → Gmail)

Enable in Cloudflare dashboard: Email → Email Routing → Enable.

  • It auto-creates: 2 MX records (route1/route2.mx.cloudflare.net) + TXT v=spf1 include:_spf.mx.cloudflare.net ~all.
  • Add routing rule: sam@audasmedia.com.au → samuelrolfe@gmail.com
  • Optionally a catch-all → Gmail.

D. Resulting SPF (combine providers)

After B+C: SPF must include SES + Cloudflare. Simplest working value (single TXT):

v=spf1 include:_spf.mx.cloudflare.net include:amazonses.com ~all

(Replace the old InMotion SPF.)

Verification

  • MXToolbox: DNS lookup → MX/SPF/DKIM/DMARC all pass
  • Test: send to sam@audasmedia.com.au → arrives in Gmail; send via SES → delivered, DKIM=pass

Part of Migration Plan — InMotion to Local + AWS Offsite Phase 2. Track in Migration Work Log.
