• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Question Changing DNS settings and e-mail plan

Alexfou

New Pleskian
Hi all, i am new to this and after much search on the internet i decided to post here! I bought an e-mail plan and i need to make some changes to my DNS settings in plesk in order my e-mail plan to work. The company that sold me the e-mail plan told me to create the following records to plesk:

A Records​

Type: A
Host: mail.zakynthos-transfers.gr.
Value: 136.243.173.169

Type: A
Host: webmail.zakynthos-transfers.gr.
Value: 136.243.173.169

✦━✦━

MX Record​

Type: MX
Host: zakynthos-transfers.gr.
Value: (10) mail.zakynthos-transfers.gr.

✦━✦━

TXT Records​

Type: TXT
Host: default._domainkey.zakynthos-transfers.gr.
Value: v=DKIM1; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA7n7zyCmcYTlEe0kcDQ4pwb/5HxTtONqy3TGRw3lrXMWtnJq8e4+EFQ3wufBJelCDvsRg/fv9HRrCTBaQnIRGmBWhyRKYCVXPV60j+aFfWVqsNKIIKpKJWAJDaeSmOWiha+h3lvDz68qX0RF79zCTPdRPBqlVonX22/4potZoEkvFTuU1CaDBw/k6jIzv/MoSiNxwtNvV+mm1J+TA7oft4b9C3KU13bI7dJzz7YIGxHSekq9R3LhcMUe/TxUFWgwDctk6aokQ2M0hYHsaQpZrfz5In/dc444lfPDyfX2wuRKDbb0TAFCyzElOD1luyQymRQUBR9iQGqpLn09rnoRoUQIDAQAB;

As you can see on the screenshots i did but still the e-mail plan wont work. Anyone had an idea what am i doing wrong?



 
Hello, @Alexfou . The DNS records in your Plesk DNS zone appear correct. However, it seems like 'zakynthos-transfers.gr' is not pointed to the Plesk server by nameservers. Therefore, the DNS zone is external. In other words, the DNS zone in the Plesk panel is not active and the changes you perform there do not matter. You need to either:

Point the domain name to the Plesk nameservers (the ones shown on the third screenshot) from your domain registrar (the provider from which you bought the domain name)

or

Create the DNS records in your external DNS zone

I hope that helps.
