Cpanel Domain Name Server (DNS) Setting For Email On 2 Seperate Server
Nov 7, 2009
This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.
However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.
My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?
Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com
Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

I currently have a domain on Server 1 (Linux, Apache, Ubuntu, Matrix control panel).
This server does not have any spam filter, so I have moved all the email accounts to Server 2 (Linux, Apache, Fedora Core, Plesk) which does have a brilliant spam filter; and have changed the DNS record for mail.domain.com to the IP address for Server 2.
Emails are being successfully received on Server 2.
On Server 1, when an email is sent through SMTP to an address at that domain, it does not send it to Server 2, it gets delivered to the hosting account for the domain on Server 1. So what I am guessing is happening is that Server 1 detects the domain has an account on the server, and instead of looking up the DNS info for that domain, just assumes it is on Server 1.
What I need to do, is force Server 1 to send email for that domain to Server 2. Is this possible, and if so, how can it be achieved? If more info about the server is required for a solution please let me know and I'll provide what I can.

I am trying to get to grips setting up websites / email without the help of a control panel.
I am running centos and have managed to suss out the httpd.conf file enough to set up webspace but have no idea where to start on setting up a email server.
Any places where there is a step by step newbie guide that goes down to showing me how to add email users etc appreciated.

I am currently using for example these nameservers:
ns1.mydomain.com
ns2.mydomain.com
but I am also thinking of offering hosting, and would like to setup seperate nameservers for example:
ns1.myhosting.com
ns2.myhosting.com
Is it possible to do this, with both sets of domains utilising the same dedicated server?
Would they all need seperate IPs, or can I use the same IP that ns1.mydomain.com is using for ns1.myhosting.com?

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 ).

a good deal of the price in buying servers frequently comes from a nice motherboard, chassis, etc. having to purchase those items twice is just taking away from other components you could be adding to one server-- more ram, more/faster cpu's, etc. not to mention the wasted overhead in just running the operating system twice.
considering all of those factors, wouldn't it be logical to build a nicer single server rather than two "okay" servers?
the only real advantages I see are
1) potentially httpd could be reachable when mysql isn't... but for something like vb, that's almost a moot point
2) at some point you're going to hit a point where buying a nicer CPU isn't really worth the money; spending twice the money for a 10% performance increase, etc. but it seems like multiple cpu's could still get around that.

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.

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

im currently planning to launch a number of sites that may or may not take off. Basically my question is that most people tell me to seperate the web server and db server, and i believe this is because of interfering IO between the two, and the cpu not being able to alocate between both of them effectively. How effective do you think a Dual Xeon box would be to run apache,squid,php, and mysql. I figured my original plan was 2 servers (each xeons for the db with a raid1+0), but going a dual xeon seems like a decent choice since we would only need to pay for 1U at a colo with opportunity to move the db off of it later when we need to and replicate the webserver when needed. Let me know if im off my mark here. I didnt post req/sec or anything because this is just a seperate xeon boxes VS dual xeon single box.

I have upgraded to a new server and need to move all domains, users, and most important all email accounts to the new server.
Both servers run Plesk 11.0.9 on CentOS. The migration manager works great, no problems with that.
After migrating, I change my DNS settings at an external DNS provider to the new IP. The problem is, DNS changes take time. I then get emails on the old server and on the new server until DNS information is spread.
I was searching for a way to let the old server forward to the new one, but changes for specific domains in plesks DNS system (MX record) on the old server did not work. The mails still arrived at the old server.
What can i do? Can I uncheck "Activate mail service on domain" and will all emails be rejected until DNS points to the new server? Or will that lead to bounces?

I'm having problems setting up email in Outlook with cpanel configurations. I've exhausted google trying to find an answer to this. Maybe someone here can help or has had a similiar problem.
I've set up accounts in cpanel (eg: info @ example.com), have the incoming mail server and outgoing mail server as mail.example.com and I even checked off the "server required authentication" but I still can't receive emails. I changed the outgoing server to smtp.internetprovider.com and it still doesn't work. I get a prompt asking for Network Server Password and click ok with the login and password but it keep popping up.

Heres what Ive done created a new user and set their home directory as /home/<user>. I then made a public_html folder within their home dir.
Then I went into httpd.conf, and added a virtual host for that domain with the document root to the public_html dir i created .
At this point, what is there left to do? I need to mess with the DNS right? Anything else?

I just realized for the past week we have not been getting email on one of our servers.
If I send a test message to a non-existant account (that's set to :fail:) I get a bounce-back, so apparently exim is awake and answering.
But if I send an email to a physical account or an account forwarded to another service like gmail, it never shows up, and no error is ever sent to the sending address...
Very bad. I can't imagine the contacts that have been lost at this point.
ConfigServer mail manage shows absolutely no email waiting.
