iCloud Mail custom domains--invites are not received

I set up a custom domain with my iCloud account and wanted to add friends. However, they are not receiving the invites. They have just updated to iOS 16, have 2FA turned on and an iCloud email address set up. So it should work. But no matter how often I click Resend Invite, they never get one.

Fixing Custom Domain Email: Invites are sent, but can't accept HI, I'm on the latest os for iPhone, Mac and iPad. I have several custom domain addresses that I transferred into iCloud Custom Domain emails. They work, but they are all lumped into one inbox labelled iCloud. This is a horrible setup. To attempt to fix this, I created separate Apple Id's and added them to family sharing. Then I attempted to transfer each custom email address to their respective new apple id's. Then I initiated the transfer request. But the requests never come in. How are the requests made? Via email or notifications? There are no emails to be found anywhere in any address about the transfer request. So I took one of my Macs, and logged out of my "Main" Apple ID and logged into one of the new ones. Then I initiated another transfer request. A notification came in on the Mac. I hit the request and it opens up Safari and logs into iCloud.com. But then nothing happens from there. It just puts me on the home page. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

This email address is not available - iCloud Custom Email Domain Hi community people, I setup my Custom Email Domain, and when creating email addresses under my Apple ID I inadvertently created an email address for another family member. Initially I had not realised that others I invited to my domain needed to create emails under their own Apple ID on their devices. I immediately deleted the email address under my own Apple ID and several days later tried to setup the email address on my family member's device, however I get a dialogue that says "This email address is not available. Please try again with a different address". I have verified that the email address is definitely not in use and emails sent to the address result in a delivery failure. Has anyone experienced this, and if so is there a solution to the issue?

Custom domain at icloud+ - User already associated with email I have added my domain to iCloud+. One of the emails, I have transferred to another person ID. Since there was an MX error, I have removed the domain in order to setup it all over again. When I did, the error message is the user already uses that email. How do I make another person to use the domain? Thank you for your help.
