DNS Propagation Issue - CNAME record stuck as TXT / Shadow record conflict
📙DNS
I am experiencing a persistent DNS propagation issue with my domain playeraim.com.
In my Cloudflare dashboard, I have configured a CNAME record for the subdomain bounce-zem pointing to cluster89.zeptomail.eu with "DNS Only" (Grey Cloud) status. However, public DNS lookups and direct queries to Cloudflare nameservers (alan.ns.cloudflare.com) continue to return a TXT record (SPF) instead of the CNAME.
The returned TXT record is: v=spf1 include:eu.zeptomail.net -all
I have already tried the following:
Deleted the CNAME and recreated it.
Verified that there are NO TXT records with the name bounce-zem in my dashboard.
Toggled the Proxy status and changed TTL values to force a sync.
It seems like a "shadow record" or a synchronization issue between the dashboard UI and the actual authoritative nameservers. Could you please manually flush the DNS zone or check for any hidden/API-added records that might be blocking this CNAME resolution?
Thank you.
