How to Add DNS Records for Your Custom Email Domain
From within your Cloudflare account, select the Domain you wish to access.
At the top of the page, click the DNS tab and then Records.
Click Add Record.
For the Type, choose CNAME.
In the Name field, enter the Host that was generated in the dashboard.
In the Target field, enter the Value that was generated in the dashboard.
If everything appears correct, select “Save”. Repeat the process two more times so all three CNAME records have been added.
