can't disable email routing
Unintentionally I started the email routing process. It's not active because I didn't go all the way, I didn't delete the records to write new ones, etc, but a record was created automatically and I'd like to deactivate email routing completely but I can't, there's no button for that. It's really frustrating. Do I really have to go through with the configuration, i.e. delete my dkim records to write new ones and then back out? That's just stupid. It's like being in Kafka.

It looks like email routing was only partially enabled, but don't worry - nothing changes until the MX/DKIM records are switched over. Since you didn't update those, your current email delivery is still intact.
To fully deactivate, you don't need to complete the setup and back out; simply remove the automatically created routing record from DNS and keep your existing MX/DKIM aas is.
Without those records pointing to the new service, routing can't activate.
In short: delete the new routing entry, leave your existing DNS records untouched, and your email will continue working normally.
