• 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.

Email MX Records

Hi,

I'm hosting a domain name on my server but I do not host the domain's email, this is handled by a seperate server. The domain name just has the "www" and "wildcard" hostnames pointed to my server for website hosting.

Is there a way to set the DNS on my server to inherit from the DNS server where those records are set? What I would like to avoid is having to duplicate the domain names MX records locally on my server.

Any advice you can offer would be gratefully received!
 
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I'm wondering if the Switch DNS Mode option might be the answer?
 
if your server is setup to use external dns in its resolvers then it should be able to see the dns changes and settings remotely with no need for any action. If you are using local dns then you may need to have it duplicated unless you setup some kind of zone transfer and automate that.
