I have a domain that is associated with a droplet for my website and an app platform instance. I created a new droplet for the MIAB mailserver but the domain is already managed by Digital Ocean so how do I add the glue records?

Hello,
Besides adding the
NS
records, in order to setup glue records, you also need to go to your domain name provider, the company that you’ve registered your domain name with, and ask register your nameservers there too.You can follow the steps on how to do that here:

The example is with Namecheap, but the process should be valid for all other domain providers. In case that you experience any issues, I could suggest getting in touch with your domain provider directly and asking them to register the nameservers for you.
Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
