Domain status stuck on Pending

Hello,

I created a domain with the address Rac*****.com, but its status has been stuck on “Pending” for a while.

Could you please check the verification status of this domain and let me know if there’s anything else I need to do on my side?

Thank you for your help.

Your iCloud custom domain shows Pending because not all required DNS records are published correctly. Checking the verification TXT, SPF, MX, and DKIM CNAME records at your domain registrar will resolve the issue. After they are corrected, verification usually completes within 30 minutes to a few hours.

Have a look at this support article which outlines what you need to do and who you need to contact: Use Custom Email Domain with iCloud Mail - Apple Support I won't try to summarize it because it would be just as long as the article itself.


Note that I have yet to see the person who originally responded to your question ever return to provide somebody with additional assistance.
