Notes
No AAAA. No existing DKIM/DMARC (fresh).
autodiscover NXDOMAIN (no record — fine; Zoho doesn't need it).After Cloudflare migration: A records stay identical (site remains on InMotion VPS until CMS migration); only MX/SPF/TXT/DKIM/DMARC change for email.
Email target (Phase 2)
Inbound: Zoho Mail free tier — FAILED (SMS OTP never arrives after 1h; Zoho is SMS-only verification). Abandoned. Fallback: MXroute (~US$30-45/yr flat, unlimited domains). Outbound: Amazon SES — identity created ✅ (domain audasmedia.com.au, region ap-southeast-2)MX → (provider TBD: MXroute), SPF → include provider + SES, DKIM → SES (3 CNAMEs below) + provider, DMARC → new
SES records to add (from console, 2026-08-31)
These go into Cloudflare once NS switch propagates (still InMotion now).
