Hey Sean, thanks for the explanation. Useful for folks
like me that don’t
know much about email DNS server configuration.
BTW, out of curiosity I ran a health and security check on the domain and
it says that the DKIM is not configured:

Wouldn’t this potentially marks our emails untrustworthy and be marked as
spam?
Just wondering.

This is kind of a misleading test page. There's no way to test DKIM by
just inspecting a domain name. You would need to have the mail server
send a test message to a testing server.
I can tell you that the sudoroom.org mail server has DKIM correctly set
up, and all messages coming from it are validly signed. You can check
this yourself from the Gmail web interface. Take a message sent from the
sudoroom.org server, click the "three vertical dots" button, then click
"Show original". Gmail will tell you the SPF, DKIM, and DMARC (if
relevant) status of that message.
(Non-gmail users can do manual header inspections to see SPF and DKIM
status, but the exact thing to look for varies depending on the backend
server software).
