How To Edit DNS Zone File In CPanel

Batch Edit Of Name Servers In DNS Zone
batch edit of the name servers in every DNS Zone for every domain on one of my cPanel/WHM boxes. Rather than using WHM to manually modify the NS entries, I would like to find a way to do a batch or mass edit.

I simply need to change all instances of NS1 to NS3 and NS2 to NS4.

I was told a simple one line sed script should do the trick on /var/named but alas, I am woefully incapable of writing such a script.

Does anyone have any ideas? With over 200 domains on this box I'd hate to think this will have to be done manually.

Change Email Address In DNS Zone Template
When I load a new account into WHM a pre-figured email address is entered into the DNS Zone automatically using the DNS Template field %rpemail%

Can you tell me where the email address %rpemail% can be found and how to change it.

Also can I change %rpemail% to something else in that field so that the email address it calls up is perhaps the contact address for root or similar?

DNS Zone Assistance
I'm trying to setup an option on my server. I hope one of you can help me out a tad...

I'm trying to configure my server to allow an option that I usually call wildcard DNS. I need any domain that's pointed to a server to go to a parked page (just like a welcome to <domain> it's coming soon). I can do the parked page, just need to figure out the DNS/Apache settings.

Editing A DNS Zone
to edit a DNS Zone (via WHM=> DNS Zone Edit) of a domain hosted on my server & which NS's are routed to.

New setting should route domain to a seperate server (i.e HTTP, FTP) and leave EMAIL on my server.

I've changed all settings, except MX & mail CNAME, to the new IP (This includes NS's, A's, CNAME's - WWW & ftp). Still the WWW is not working and email has stopped working localy.

CNAME Or A Record In DNS Zone?
i have just created a dns ZONE for my domain, but i dont know what to use for ftp service.

i looked up in cpanel dns zone records for the domain i created and it looks like this... i am confused what to use CNAME or A record for an FTP entry

ftp 14400 IN A <IP> (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 CNAME domain.com. (for sites with dedicated ip)

what is the difference? what if i change to

ftp 14400 IN CNAME domain.com. (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 A <IP> (for sites with dedicated ip)

Also, how many A records i can place in zone file?

DNS Error: Ignoring Out-of-zone Date
i have nameservers setup on my server using (for example) ns1.domain.net and ns2.domain.net with ips 12.12.12.1 and 12.12.12.2, respectively.

I believe that ignoring out-of-zone data is causing my dns to not work properly. I can't ping ns1.domain.net, ns2.domain.net, and domain.net.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Redirection / Setting Up Zone(s)
I have a quick question about some DNS zones I'm trying to set up for a customer. I figured I would try asking the community before bugging our top-level admins (they have enough to do already, and I'd rather learn this myself).

We have a customer for whom we are managing their DNS. The site is actually hosted elsewhere, but the DNS originates on our server.

They have another site that is hosted with us, and they would like to set up a subdomain redirect from the remotely-hosted site to the site hosted on our hardware. So, the situation looks something like this:

example.com : hosted elsewhere (primary IP not ours), DNS with us
FooSite.example.com : redirect this to www.FooSite.com

I could edit httpd.conf, but it would be easiest (for firewall reasons at the moment) if I could enter in the proper zones via WHM zone editor. I'll be able to see the results either way. I tried setting up the 'A' and 'CNAME' records, and I got as far as directing the 'A' records for the subdomain to the local IP, but I'm not sure how to finish it off (assuming I'm going down the right path). My own knowledge level in this regard is somewhere between novice and intermediate (which is why I have partners and admins ).

DNS - NS Change Not Working
I changed the name servers for my domain (ronin-studios.com) over a month ago when the site was moved to a new server.

Sometimes, however, when people go to visit the site they get the OLD site and forums.

When I do a ping from dnsstuff.com I get the old IP address. When I ping from other networking sites I get the new IP address.

Another stange thing: I use OpenDNS for my DNS servers and one day they will be hitting on the right IP, the next, it changes to the old IP.

Like I said, this was supposed to have changed over a month ago.

How To Track Email That Is Not Working
how exactly email works. For example, I set my mx record to google apps in order to use google mail with my own domain. Thing is, I can sent from google mail now with my domain email address but cannot send. Furthermore, login to my website email bij www.domain.com/webmail is possible but receiving is impossible and even sending email from that place will not work.

Thinking about it it seems that email is lost
google can send but not receive
from my domain webmail i cannot receive nor send.

Email Stopped Working On Server
Recently I noticed that I was not getting any email on my server.
Server is running CentOS

When I send email to myself I am not getting anything and then it bounces back several days later saying the server is not responding.

When I check on Dnsstuff.com I get the following:
Trying to connect to all mailservers:

mail.webzila.com. - 216.32.77.68 [Could not connect: Could not receive data: Operation timed out.]

[Note that if your mailserver takes over 30 seconds to respond, our test will timeout, even though real mailservers will wait longer]

I tried turning mail services OFF and then ON again in Plesk but that didnt help.

CPanel/WHM Server - Email Not Working
Just got a new server online this week from VolumeDrive, and everything has been going just fine with my initial setup. I transferred over 7 domains from another cPanel/WHM machine and the transfer feature worked flawlessly.

Since I use Gmail for most of my communication, I haven't even had any email accounts setup on any of my domains in quite sometime. So knowing that I need a few setup for various correspondence, I went ahead and set one up tonight. I've setup and used mailboxes on cPanel machines before, and it's not exactly rocket science... pretty easy stuff.

But what's weird here is that when I attempt to click on the "Webmail" icon from directly within cPanel, the Horde login fails over and over again. Then, if I setup the account in Thunderbird or Outlook using the CORRECT account information (username@domain.com as the login -- and the appropriate password/server settings), the client login fails also.

To add to this weird behavior, I sent myself an email at the newly setup address with a 2mb attachment. Obviously I can't login to the account to see if the mail arrived, but at least it didn't bounce.

However, when I'm in cPanel under this domain and go to "Email Accounts", I'm showing "0 Bytes" for usage under the account where i know there should be at least 2mb worth of usage.

We reinstalled the window server 2003 last week, and we found the email functions not working any more(users in the website can't receive email each other).

I have spent days and trying to figure out, but no luck, I have tried to reset the IIS settings, SMTP Virtual settings, and add/remove windows componets settings...

Great Success, Apache Is Working After Subdomain DNS Configuration
So here's my situation: I have a rented vent server, that I wanted to point vent.mydomain.com to the IP of said vent server. I put an A record in the dns pointing to the server and all is well. When I type vent.mydomain.com into a browser it take me to the cPanel/WHM page saying "Great Success, Apache is working". Is it possible that I can somehow have that get redirected to the main site or no?

Basically if Im connecting with the vent client, I want it forwarded to the vents IP, otherwise I want to have it redirected to mydomain.com.

RFC DNS- Email
The reply my reseller gave me was as follows........

the domain overseas does not have the correct RFC dns entrys hence our mailserver will NOT accept NOR deliver email to it or accept from it. This may have not been an issue where you previously hosted due to the fact that they most likely used an insecure setup for the mail server. This issue is closed

-------------------------------

My customer can email his customers in china / russia just fine... but when they email him they get bounced back...

I do not understand RFC?

This customer has had different email problems with all of the 3 hosts he has been with. His last host mail worked fine 80% of the time, and he left because their servers were always down...

why mail from bk.ru eavangard.ru and tmag.com.cn and even yahoo.co.in

would be bounced back to the senders?

Wildcard DNS Subdomains Working, But Existing Subdomains Not
I've set up the affiliate manager from jrox.com for a client of mine. This includes the setup of wildcard DNS so that each affiliate can have username.clientssite.com and have it count their clicks - which works properly.

What isn't working properly is that he also has forums.hissite.com, which is loading the main website page instead of his forums. He is using cpanel to add the subdomain, and it isn't failing, so I'm not sure what's going on with it.

Here is the relative section from the httpd file.

Email And Domain Name Server (DNS)
I am having a slight email issue after moving my DNS to DNS Made Easy. On my wordpress blog I have it set to email me comments which the blog does just fine but ever since the DNS change I am having a weird issue. I use gmail for my email which threads emails. Now everytime I get a comment on the blog wordpress sends a new email and gmail doesn't thread them like it used to.

Do i need to add something to my DNS for mail. I never added anything and the server is obvisoulsy sending mail. Yep I am a noob and a little lost. I hope you understand what I am getting at here.

* GMAIL threads emails
* After DNS Change GMAIL is not threading my wordpress comments only
* Never added anything to DNS records in regards to email from the server
Thanks a lot guys. hope you got an idea. I did search google and wordpress with no luck.

I added a screencap of my DNS

No Email Received After DNS Changed
I have a detected server and it host one domain with many sub domains account. I never used the cpanel DNS service, instead I used the hosting company’s DNS. .Everything was working fine (including the email) until I decided to have my own DNS. I used the domain register company DNS service to create a DNS records for the domain and all my sub-domains. The problem is the email did not work yet!! Here what I done with the DNS :

eg.com my domain and 1.1.1.1 the server IP address (e.g.)
Type--- Name ---- Domain -- Data ---Pref
A---- ---- eg.com ---- 1.1.1.1
A---- *. ---- eg.com ---- 1.1.1.1
A---- forum. ---- eg.com ---- 1.1.1.1
A---- mail. ---- eg.com ---- 1.1.1.1
MX---- ---- eg.com ---- 1.1.1.1----0
MX---- *. ---- eg.com ---- 1.1.1.1----0

I update the nameserver in the cpanel basic setup. It should work fine, I don’t know what goes wrong? I never touch the server configuration, the server was relay on external DNS service.

Here are the error that I got when I tried to send an email to the server :

info@eg.com
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO::
host mail.eg.com [1.1.1.1]:
550-Verification failed for ....

DNS & Email Spoofing
I got an email "failure delivery notification" but i did not sent that email. It had my email address though.

So I contacted host and got a very quick reply:

Quote:

The is caused due to the email spoofing. Someone was spoofing your email account and sending mails by adding the mail header so that the appears to have originated from the actual source. By setting SPF record correctly in the DNS zone of the domain, we can almost prevent this.

Here The SPF record was not setup correctly. Now we have made some changes in the SPF record in the DNS zone file "/var/named/domainname.com.db".

------------
v=spf1 a mx ip4:67.21.1.226 ?all -----> v=spf1 a mx ip4:67.21.1.226 ~all
------------

Now I can understand that they have quickly fixed the problem. BUT I need to learn more on what is going on here.

I can understand that email spoofing is that spammer is sending email with header that shows it is my email address (which it is not).

But I dont understand the second part that a DNS record fix it.

What does that DNS line mean,

DNS stuff is really complicated and am lost when it comes to it.

DNS Setup And Email Deliverability
I have a dedicated linux server that has 16 IP addresses... and one of those IP address is the main (or shared) IP of the server. So I can host a ton of websites on that one shared IP, and can optionally move individual accounts to one of the 15 other dedicated IP's if I so desire.

I put an account on it's own dedicated IP and it works fine. But I've noticed all my email being sent out is being filtered into people's spam folders... be it hotmail, gmail, yahoo, outlook, etc. My DNS is setup great as far as I can tell (DNSreport confirms) and I have SPF/domainkeys installed for this one account... so I shouldn't have problems authenticating my emails.

The only thing I can think of that would be causing problems for my mail being filtered as spam, is that since this account is on one of my dedicated IP's... that these mail providers (yahoo, etc) are looking at the incoming connection claiming to be the host, which is the main (or shared) IP of the server, and then looking at the MX record for the domain that the email address is, which points to that dedicated IP... and since they don't match... the email provider rejects the email cause the two IP's aren't matching.

Is this a valid assumption? And if so, is there anything I can do about it besides moving that one account back to the shared IP? For the life of me I can't figure this out.

No Reverse DNS=lost Email
I have a client coming to me from another provider. Their biggest problem currently is that many emails either vanish or some get emails while others don't.

I did a check on DNS Reports and found that the domain is on a shared IP address (800+domains) whereas its mail server points to another IP address. Neither of the IP addresses appear blacklisted in any spam databases. The only possibility seems to be the IP address for the web site which does not have have a PTR record (reverse DNS record).

Could this be why the emails are disappearing? They have even configured SPF for the domain etc. I would like to avoid facing a similar situation when the client moves to me.

CPanel, Windows 2003, Email, DNS
I have a W2k3 server with only one domain, it's manually configured in IIS and DNS locally on the box, and I don't want to put a mail server on the 2003 server. I also have a *nix box running cPanel. I was wondering if there is a way to just set my MX record to teh cPanel server so that I can get mail there.

The only problem is, I'd have to add the domain in cPanel, right? Is there going to be any issues with this if the DNS information for the windows domain isn't pointing to the cPanel server.

DNS Server Change - Affect Email
I have ever made a DNS Server change and I was curious how this is going to affect my e-mail.

Lets say this is my URL - www.testURL.com

I also have my e-mail setup as MyName@testURL.com

I now have a new host so we are going to change the DNS settings so www.testURL.com now points to the new web host. Is this going to affect my e-mail address MyName@testURL.com or do I also have to make a request to get the e-mail changed as well?

DNS Email :: WARNING: One Or More Of Your Mailservers Is Claiming To Be A Host Other
I am setting up some website accounts on a new dedicated Linux/cPanel server that has 1 main (or shared IP) and 5 dedicated IP's. From what I understand.. all emails from any domain on the server will be routed through the Main IP of the server, even if the domain that is sending the mail is on one of the dedicated IP's.

I am trying to ensure that my DNS and mail configuration is setup in the most pristine manner possible, to ensure I have the highest email deliverability success as humanly possible (disregarding spf, domainkeys, etc.).

The most important website on this server is abcd.com. And I placed the abcd.com account on one of the dedicated IP addresses. So basically...

The Main (or Shared) IP of the server is 1.1.1.1

abcd.com is on the dedicated IP of 1.1.1.2

Looking at my zone record for abcd.com, I have the following (My host handles DNS so this is what my control panel reads):

Code:
@ A 1.1.1.2
mail A 1.1.1.2
ftp CNAME abcd.com.
www CNAME abcd.com.
@ MX mail.abcd.com.

This all seems pretty standard, but the problem I am seeing is that when I run a DNSreport on abcd.com, I am getting the following warning:

WARNING: One or more of your mailservers is claiming to be a host other than what it really is (the SMTP greeting should be a 3-digit code, followed by a space or a dash, then the host name). If your mailserver sends out E-mail using this domain in its EHLO or HELO, your E-mail might get blocked by anti-spam software.

mail.abcd.com claims to be host host.xyz.com [but that host is at 1.1.1.1, not 1.1.1.2].

How would I go about getting rid of this problem so it doesn't affect my email deliverability. It seems that any website I put on a dedicated IP is going to have this problem. So I am looking for any guidance or suggestions anyone may have on how to remedy this situation.

DNS Setup - Hosting Website Internally - Email Externally
IIS 7.0 - I host several websites. On one of them, the email is hosted externally and not through my exchange server. I have added an MX record to point to the mail server for this domain, but I still get an error when I attempt to send an email from within my local area network. There are no problems with emails generated outside my network, but for emails generated to this domain from within my network, I get the following error:

The e-mail account does not exist at the organization this message was sent to. Check the e-mail address, or contact the recipient directly to find out the correct address.
<mail.<mydomain>.com #5.1.1>

Incidentally, the <mydomain> value does not match the domain for this email domain.

Instead it is the primary domain that I host.

I know that this must be a DNS issue, but I'm not sure how to correct.

Customer Edit Ability
I have a few customers that want to manage their own content. I don't think a CMS is the way to go (learning curve is too great) so I was wondering if anyone knew of a website software similar to Site Builder (but not Site Builder) that will allow a customer to edit their own content? Or maybe suggest an easy to use CMS~
