The file I published here was a dump done by Cloudflare some time ago.
Maybe I've modified the records since but I doubt it.

What you wrote (dc-mx) is not a underscore.
Also, I don't think I have such record in my domain (dc-mx) sounds to me
like a Microsoft thing (DC = Domain Controler, MX = Mail Exchange). I
only have a mail. and a MX record.

Thanks, yes there's some part that may be different because some of them
are "proxied" by Cloudflare. So if a request is made to Cloudflare DNS
server, they'll give their own server DNS and this will be followed to
my server.

Cloudlfare offer in their free tier a service that will cache your web
pages and offer a fast service because they own many server closer to
the user (edge type service).

The problem is that the free tier is limited and seems to have
limitation that prevent some type of use. This is one of the reason that
pushes me to disable the Cloudflare on my mail domain name. Anyway, I
don't have a website on those domain and Namecheap is responsible of
their own security so no need for acceleration or DDOS on my side.

I'll let know when I did finish changing from Cloudflare to the standard
name management (DNS) offered by Namecheap. I'll see if this fix part of
my problem (like getting 5 DMARC email for every email I respond on the
list).

Thanks,
Sincerely,
