: How to avoid emails going through secureserver.net I use Zoho.com as my email provider for me@mydomain.com. In Gmail, if an email does not use DKIM, a red padlock is shown next to the "From"

I use Zoho.com as my email provider for me@mydomain.com. In Gmail, if an email does not use DKIM, a red padlock is shown next to the "From" address (I think). I investigated why emails from me@mydomain to my gmail account were showing the red padlock last night and discovered that several fields in my email headers listed the sender as secureserver.net (GoDaddy).

I do not use and am not signed up for GoDaddy email, not in Workspace and not an Office365 account.

The domain is managed through GoDaddy and I set the two MX records to point at mx.zoho.com and mx2.zoho.com. I followed Zoho's procedure for setting up DKIM last night and was able to send emails that did not show the red padlock.

Today, my emails are showing the red padlock again and inspecting the header shows several fields listing secureserver.net as the sender.

Why are my emails being captured and sent from secureserver.net and how do I stop it? I probably am completely misunderstanding something, but I got it to show the grey padlock for a few emails last night.

Correct Header:
