Right, I have my email address (say email@domain.co.uk) connected to my DirectAdmin controlled server.
I have an the simple email services provided by 1and1 that I haven't used for ages.
I am a bit confused how multiple MX records can be used, so far I have edited my DNS record file for domain.com to look like this:
Code:
domain.co.uk.14400INMX5mx00.1and1.co.uk.
domain.co.uk.14400INMX10mx01.1and1.co.uk.
domain.co.uk.14400INMX0domain.co.uk.
If im not mistaken the above show the email server domain.co.uk is connected to (domain.co.uk) is the primary server, with 1and1 2nd and 3rd.
However if I changed the priorities all to the same value, i.e "0" would that mean the mail is delivered to all?
My ideal solution would be, if the primary server was down, send mail to secondary, but that leads me to another problem. When I want to check mail with Thunderbird its connected to imap.domain.co.uk and not imap.1and1.co.uk, so the problem now is mail split over two servers....! I would like a redundant system, to ensure email is online 99.999% of the time.
So my question is, what are peoples current solutions with multiple MX records, and how have they achieved 99.999% uptime of emails.
One of my hosted domains have an email problem, every email account that is hosted on that site, is able to send and recieve email, but when sending to gmail or hotmail, it is delivered as SPAM.
Someone told me it is because this domain doesnt have a MX record at the DNS zone..
What is the sintax for the MX record ? I have enterd A(ddress) and CNAME records, but never MX records.. can anyone tell me how to do it so I can send mail in the way it should be.
I have had multiple A records for a website for years, i.e. www.mywebsite.com => 1.1.1.1, 2.2.2.2
Well 2.2.2.2 has been down for a few days due to technical issue. So I just figured "well i got some work to do this weekend to bring it up, no rush". Turns out that customers are calling and complaining "I couldnt reach your website yesterday for a few hours".
I am seeing no problems personally, but some customers are. I dont think the percentage of customers is very high but there are so far a dozen or so complaints.
Any ideas on what I am doing wrong or where to start looking? I thought the major browsers (i confirmed with four clients they are using IE) would try 1.1.1.1 and then 2.2.2.2 or vice-versa. But apparently that is not happening. I dont think the TTL makes a difference.
What could be set up wrong or is this to be expected ? (and how to improve for future?)
I've run into a problem with my Plesk install with Amazon Route 53. I have the latest extension installed (version 1.2 release 2) on Parallels Plesk v12.0.18_build1200140811.16 os_CentOS 7.
The extension has been working perfectly well for me for months. I was adding new domains to Plesk and discovered that as I was making changes to DNS records that a new zone file was created on Route 53 instead of updating the original one.
I did notice that this started happening when I surpassed the 100 domain limit and seems to only happen on domains created at #101 and on. (in other words, I can edit a domain that was created before I got to domain #100 [ie domain #1] and it does not create a duplicate zone file).
I turned on debug mode for plesk and am seeing the json calls with the correct commands coming through.
Redacted sample of an update of Domain #104
[2015-06-10 16:42:43] INFO [panel] The domain alias <b>mydomain.test</b> was created. [2015-06-10 16:42:43] DEBUG [util_exec] [5578bd6355bc3] Starting: dnsmng /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/dnsmng '--update' 'mydomain.test' [2015-06-10 16:42:43] DEBUG [util_exec] [5578bd6355bc3] Finished in 0.06322s, Result: TRUE
[Code] .....
So from what I can see the domain +100 is re-creating the domain whereas domain 1 is not - it's just updating it, even though both json commands show the update statement coming through.
I have two domains as virtual hosts on same IP address.
I am getting certificate error for the second domain when I try to check email (using MS Outlook). I can't permanently "accept" certificate, it complains again and again. Certuficate I created and self signed for imap.domain1.com, but the second email server is imap.domain2.com, so it complains.
How do I set separate email certificates for two domains? Is it possible at all?
I have been having problems with my current host (GoDaddy), they only allow 50 simultanious connections at one time and unfortunately my site has been a victim of an exploited program they offer - Aardvark Topsites where a few sites have developed a way to exceute small scaled DoS attacks to sites operating this program. GoDaddy has been trying to block these sites with htaccess files but have had no sucess. Very long story so to my question,
My domain name is registered with GoDaddy, and my hosting is with them. My email is forwarded to Google Apps through the CName and MX records which GoDaddy doesnt like either.
If I cancel my hosting account with them my email should still be ok shouldnt it? Since the place the email is directed to is in the domain name records not in the hosting. Ive asked GoDaddy as well and I think the email should still work but GoDaddy has a way of tying products together so you have to renew them as " a set" instead of being able to renew products individually. I dont use the GoDaddy email so I think it sohuld be ok even if they do cancel my hosting account and email since the email is really hendled by Google..
I had a thread about this several years ago here but it petered out without a satisfactory resolution and when I tried to restart it the Sitepoint bot suggested I start a new thread . . .
Briefly, I'm into lots of stuff - software, art, poetry, business, etc, so I want to have different email addresses for each activity but I want them all to go to the same inbox so I don't have to log into n different accounts to check my email.
My website is hosted by HostMySite but their webmail offering ("Smartermail") is lame. I don't have the option of installing a different email client (at least not for what I'm paying) but I DO have the option of routing my email to a different provider while retaining my @pnArt.com email address.
Aliases don't solve this because if someone sends email to an alias, e.g., myalias@pnart.com it goes to my root account inbox, say, myroot@pnart.com so when I hit "reply" the recipient sees the mail coming from myroot@pnart.com, not myalias@pnart.com. Furthermore, if HE replies it goes to the global "reply-to" address which is a THIRD address because I don't want the root address in general circulation, to minimize spam to my root email.
I'm getting complaints from clients and customers about this because they're not sure which email address they're expected to use.. Is there any third-party email provider that lets me have multiple aliases or identities that I can process from ONE inbox, but where the alias or identity is applied in a consistent way so my clients see just ONE email address from me?
I currently have one server with multiple domains on it. I run apache with virtual hosts.
I want to setup email forwarding such that:
Email sent to <anyone>@aaaa.com ----forwards to----> <some email address> Email sent to <anyone>@bbbb.com ----forwards to----> <some email address> ... Email sent to <anyone>@xxxxx.com ----forwards to----> <some email address>
Any pointers? Im not even sure what to search for on the net.
I've just put all my own domains on their own server, away from my clients' domains.
I don't really want to go through 60 Cpanel accounts creating an email address for myself in each.
Is there a way to create a single pop account in each account? I seem to recall there's a way to change the default email address to fail: or blackhole: server-wide so I guess there'll be a way to create a mail account.
I have a domain setup on my Plesk 8.6.0 powered webserver which is being forwarded to a specific IP provided by my costumer, all DNS zone records are inserted accordingly and everything works fine.
Due to a problem with the ISP that provides the fixed IP on my costumer’s server he now wants to get a second IP from a different ISP, for the same webserver, to function as a secondary route onto his server .....
I run a vbulletin based web forum ([url] and everything is going quite smoothly. We are currently in the process of getting a partnership with a supplement store.
Basically, our goal is to have our own store for Lean Bulk, but it will be run by a different company, and will be on their server.
Soo, the store database and custom script will be staying on their server, but my forums will be staying on my server. What I want is for the store to be located at [url]or [url]
Either one works for me. However, the tech guy that runs all the stuff for the store, is trying to tell me that this is "impossible." While it might be somewhat difficult, I have a hard time believing anything is really impossible.
The tech says the only thing we can do is have the store located at:
[url]
Personally, I think this looks unprofessional, and would rather stay away from this solution.
I rent a vps and currenly running on CentOS. I already setup 2 domain using VirtualHost and wondering how I can configure for each domain can access only 1 phpmyadmin directory

I just tried westhost. Very nice folks, good reviews, worth a shot. I signed up for a regular hosting account that allows multiple domains. That didn't work for email. An email user has access to email under that users name for all domains attached to the account. so you can't have info@abc.com, info@def.com, etc. One info@ per account. I did find a hack for it, but it wouldn't work with web mail.
So now I need to find a host that separates mail by domain WITH webmail.
This is getting so tiresome. I have a VPS with "the planet", but so many things just don't work out of the box. I've been fighting with them about PHP not sending mail for months. DNS problems everytime I setup a new domain. There has to be an easier way!
15 domains, everything needs to work. I don't want to manage anything. No resellers. The company I host with will own the data center.
