Mailchimp can't verify CNAME records.
Mailchimp is unable to verify CNAME records. They have succesfully propogated and I can look them up elsewhere.
I don't believe they are being flattened. Mailchimp also are unable to explain why they can't verify the records.
The CNAMES in question are:
k2._domainkey.aask.us
k3._domainkey.aask.us

Those don't look right. There's no TXT record at dkim{2, 3}.mcvs.net
I would double check what mailchimp wants you to use
Their own guide says
Next to your domain, click View DKIM settings. A modal will appear with instructions for setting up DKIM on your DNS provider. Add two new CNAME records with the names mte1._domainkey.example.com and mte2._domainkey.example.com (replace example.com with the domain you’re setting up). The value for the record should first CNAME should be dkim1.mandrillapp.com, and the value for the second record should be dkim2.mandrillapp.com.https://mailchimp.com/developer/transactional/docs/authentication-delivery/ Not sure if that varies though
@Chaika Appreciate the reply. That's not the records that they have given us to add. I have attached them below:
You misspelled the cname targets when you made the records
k3._domainkey.aask.us. 60 IN CNAME dkim3.mcvs.net.
it's
mcsv, but you put mcvswow thank you so much. Both myself and Mailchimp support somehow missed that typo...
I feel slightly stupid now but thank you so much for your time! @Chaika
lol no worries it's an easy mistake to make on entering, looks like they're starting to resolve right now, mailchimp should pick that up properly in a bit
