I have tried everything to get my MX and TXT records working. I am currently using Zoho and although my email seems to be working when I check anything on mxtoolbox or dig it returns nothing. Zoho constantly notifies me that my mx records on not pointing at them. I am attempting to move over to ProtonMail but I cant get their verify TXT record to work. What am I doing wrong here?

I’m showing the name servers for the domain to be:
When doing an MX look-up on the domain, no MX records are found. So my first question would be, are you setting those records up in the DigitalOcean Control Panel or at you domain registrar?
If what you’ve posted is from the DigitalOcean Control Panel, you’ll need to modify the name servers at the registrar (who you registered the domain with) to point to:
… and then let the name servers resolve before those records will be valid.
Is
snugpixel.comyour real domain? Because I’m getting this when I usedigDid you just change the NameServer records to DigitalOcean, because then you sometimes have to wait up to 48 hours for your old NS to transfer authority to DigitalOcean.
