iCloud+'s New Custom Email Domain Feature Now Available in Beta

I'm not sure about the validation tools...
but when sending from my custom domain, receiver can see "dkim=pass (signature was verified)" in the email header.
Even worse, G Workspace marks any mail from the custom domain as spam.
So, after 24 hours I was able to send from my e-mail address from beta.icloud.com, and after another 16 hours the e-mail address appeared on both my iPhone and my Mac mail app without being on the Beta software. Receiving e-mail worked straight away after I did the DNS change.
Just tried that myself and my mail is arriving into the inbox of a Gmail account.
Good to know. I still see nothing both on iCloud Mail web (beta) and on my iOS 15 beta devices, but I’ll wait a few more hours and hope it will appear
I just finished to setup my own domain and I am receiving e-mails correctly, but I can't start a new e-mail using my custom e-mail, just using my Apple ID e-mail. Any help?
From what many people have reported you have to wait a few hours before you can send from your custom domain name
after rebooting my iPhone and Mac, I immediately saw them available.
now, for some reason, only my iPhone has them (two domain names were added yesterday... one this morning).
/edit rebooted my Mac again... and all are back.
I did try my appleID domain and it did not work you get errors.
Did setup a new email that I’m happy with
Incidentally to the above, is there a way to choose which sending address to use within the iOS Mail app? Also, has anybody managed to get it to show two separate inboxes, or does it always combine all mail into one?
It will combine the 2 address, they will not appear separately as you have 1 mailbox for both your .me and your new custom domain, that being the iCloud Mailbox. The from option appeared for me after almost 48 hours after making the dns changes. I am not using any beta software on my iOS or MacOS devices.

Hi! I had the same problem (sorry for my poor English) I got trough the verify problem after I deleted my own domain mail (exampel@mydomain.com) from my Apple ID account. I had it as a secondary e-mail in setting on my Apple ID as an extra security. After deleting that It worked fine! I could verify my own domain e-mail.
Appears that I wasn't patient enough. After I've now got my mails in iCloud.
I skipped the mail verification part as it kept bugging out. I was able to create two out of three addresses I use.
I have one (paypal@domain.com) which gives an error on creating. It is not known in my appleid settings. Weird. I've seen other people with similar issues but haven't found a solution yet.

And that's one of the reasons I am happy to see those kinds of services catch on… they will inevitably drive, through momentum, those devs to change the code. 😉 If Apple were to throw "+"s into Hide My Email's auto-created-addresses at some point 100 million addresses in, it would be game over for those lazy devs. And the more ubiquitous "+" becomes, the less chance a spammer can pull the "cut off everything from + and @gmail.com" trick and know the actual account to spam at will. (That, and Gmail every finally getting in on the alias game, which would solve it entirely.)
For some reason there's just no TXT record for DKIM even though my domain is supposed to be registered correctly. Maybe that's happening to some people?
Also when I check the Apple URL for my domain directly (but my CNAME is set up correctly I'm pretty sure).
I also tried to query other DNS servers from Cloudflare, Google etc. directly instead of using the one I run myself in my LAN, but same results.
And when I send mail from that domain, obviously DKIM check fails
Ok so apparently the DKIM signature in the outgoing email is using icloud.com as a domain instead of my own domain. So the signature is actually valid then... not sure what exactly that means in the grand scheme of things but yeah, e-mail is complicated.

Code:
dkim=fail reason="signature verification failed" (2048-bit key; unprotected) header.d=icloud.com header.i=@icloud.com header.b=WUEFXSEU;

Yeah, but you can't mix that with custom domain. It will let you add the domain, but not add emails. And if you change to an iCloud.com address, and then change back afterwards, you'll get a message that aliases aren't allowed as Apple IDs. Might change later, but that's how it seems to work for now.
