Bounce backs from gmail when sending through iCloud Custom Domain

I’ve recently set up an iCloud custom domain and followed the DNS set up guidelines. Everything seems to work fine except when I send to a gmail address. Gmail will randomly bounce my messages back with an error saying the SPF and DKIM are unauthenticated. But as far as I can tell they are set up correctly…

iCloud custom domain email won’t let me send to Gmail accounts due to lack of SPF or DKIM For some time, I realized I have not been able to email people with Gmail addresses from my iCloud custom domain email. This is fairly recent, sometime around summer, and was not an issue before. The emails coming back end up in the iCloud spam folder stating: This mail has been blocked because the sender is unauthenticated. 550-5.7.26 Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM. 550-5.7.26 550-5.7.26 Authentication results: 550-5.7.26 DKIM = did not pass 550-5.7.26 SPF …. I have spoken to both apple support and my domain provider to no avail, and would really appreciate any solution to this as it affects a large part of my correspondence. Has anyone experienced this and found any solution?

gmail not sending to custom domain Hi, I have setup 2 custom domains in iCloud mail. Domain one is my default domain and is able to send emails to anywhere. It receives emails from everywhere except GMAIL address. There is no kick back email saying it was not delivered, the email just disappears. Domain 2 has no issue sending and receiving from all domains. Seems to work perfect. Any ideas why emails from GMAIL are not being delivered to my iCloud inbox? Thank you Brian

How to I add SPF and DKIM to my domain, which is being hosted by iCloud Gmail has begun rejecting my emails. I need to authenticate them using SPF and/or DKIM. It's recommended to use both. How do I do that when Apple iCloud is hosting my personally owned domain?
