• 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.

DNS Command line - delete TXT record?

I'm trying to delete a TXT record from the command line, but I can't seem to get the syntax right. This is for a local DNS block list script I'm working on. All the records are in the form 1.0.0.127.dnsbl.example.com (which would list the IP 127.0.0.1), with an TXT record that gives some details about the block. I can add and remove A records, and add TXT records just fine.

I add the TXT record with:
/usr/local/psa/bin/dns -a dnsbl.example.com -txt "some detail" -domain 1.0.0.127

But
/usr/local/psa/bin/dns -d dnsbl.example.com -txt "" -domain 1.0.0.127 (or with -txt "some detail")
gives "Unable del record in DNS server: unable find DNS record"

The documentation isn't clear at all, so hopefully someone here can point me in the right direction.
 
I know it's an old post, but the command syntax is tricky. You may try:

plesk bin dns -a example.com -txt "1.0.0.127" -domain dnsbl

Which should create a record:

dnsbl.example.com TXT 1.0.0.127

Another example, to create a TXT record for SPF:

plesk bin dns -a example.com -txt "v=spf1 a mx ~all"

And one to create a TXT record for DMARC:

plesk bin dns -a example.com -txt "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine;" -domain _dmarc
