Hello,

I've been meaning to get to this one for a while.

AutoSSL check spews out HTML of a remotely hosted website when looking for the /.well-known/pki-validation/ text file.

The domain name's DNS records are hosted by us.
We manage the domain's mail.
The website is hosted remotely on another company's server.

I've attached herewith a screen grab of how our DNS records are set up.

Can someone advise if I have them set up incorrectly and as a result it's causing the error below:

Code: 
 warn [autossl_check] XID sxx4je: expected “WKPkV8_9BrpHu_D5sdgxOiYVkVPXw8vYglDMEaeOByWaNXgA4H2wWM2jLKLacr_u” from “http://domainname.com.au/.well-known/pki-validation/86724C0130A290599E67C78184C4DC52.txt” but received “    <html>  <head> ....
We'd like to take advantage of the AutoSSL feature for the mail component but suppress the errors caused by the AutoSSL script checking for a non-existent text file on the remotely hosted website.

Thank you.
