Club 907529. Custom domain SkwimTM.org. The certificate expired, and is not renewing. I've reviewed the custom domain documentation and see nothing wrong. HELP!

Your domain is not setup correct you are missing several DNS records

www record missing
mail record missing
Mail MX record missing

Please read the documentation and correct the issues.

In addition, here are some log entries from our cert renewal loop--the renewal loop has tried three times already to renew this cert:

(Notice the part below that says "DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for www.skwimtm.org - check that a DNS record exists for this domain")

Google Domains showed all of those, but I did see they were not showing. I deleted them al and recreated them and they are showing now. Of course the DNS entries have to propogate, and I believe there is a nioghtky cycle to check certificates? Is there any way for you to verify my settings now?

Thanks for all your help!
