Importing from CPanel

[DaGeek]

Hello All:

I have been hosting with CPanel/WHM for a number of years.

By default, the POP3/SMTP settings for CPanel are mail.domain.com .

It appears that the defaults for Parallels is domain.com ...

Am I wrong, or do I have to instruct all of my customers on how to change their settings in Outlook to match the new server????

Better .... Can I CHANGE the default server names in Plesk??

Thanks,
Brian

If you need change domain's name, just go to Websites & Domains tab in control panel, click on domain and change name.

Need to change the name of the mail server

I appreciate the reply, but I guess I didn't make my point...

I need to change the name of the MAIL servers from "domain.com" to "mail.domain.com" (Not the name of the domain, but the PREFIX "mail".

I know it works as is, but that makes HUNDREDS of customers have to change their settings in Outlook.

If I can just rename the MAIL server, the transition can be transparent to them.

I'll keep digging, I was just being lazy by asking.

Let me ask the question in a different way....

What do I need to change so that my customers can set their mail clients to look for mail using mail.domain.com instead of just domain.com

You can try to add additional A DNS record for mail.domain.com hostname.

Thank you, Igor - That was sooo simple!
