• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

1and1 - SPF - DNS question

I have been "battling" with my VPS/Plesk at 1and1 with hotmail for over a week now. I think the SPF was a solution, but I haven't been able to make it work.

When you sign up to a 1and1 VPS, they automatically add a 1and1 domain (lets call it 1and1domain.com). My domain is also added to the VPS (lets name it MyDomain.com... how original). So the VPS has two domains on one IP (.... XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX).

When I send email via mail() under MyDomain.com, this is what I get in the raw source:
Received: from 1and1domain.com (MyDomain.com [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX])

The email server for the 1and1 domain is not mail.1and1domain.com, but mx01.1and1.com .

Therefore, could someone tell me if this SPF record seem ok:
v=spf1 a mx a:1and1domain.com mx:mx01.1and1.com ip4:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ?all

On a slightly different note... I cannot add a DNS TXT Record to the 1and1 DNS control panel! They're telling me that I need to get another nameserver to add the TXT (SPF)! If I simply point to ns.MyDomain.com and have the following in Plesk, will this be enough?

MyDomain.com. NS ns.MyDomain.com.
mail.MyDomain.com. A XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
ns.MyDomain.com. A XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
MyDomain.com. A XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
webmail.MyDomain.com. A XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
ftp.MyDomain.com. CNAME MyDomain.com.
www.MyDomain.com. CNAME MyDomain.com.
MyDomain.com. MX (10) mail.MyDomain.com.
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX / 24 PTR MyDomain.com.
MyDomain.com. TXT v=spf1 a mx a:1and1domain.com mx:mx01.1and1.com ip4:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ?all

Or do I need to sign up to an external Nameserver (DNS) service?

Thanks.
