• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved DNS MAIL.DOMAIN - not a valid Hostname

JohnnyU

Basic Pleskian
I have a VPS from Leaseweb and on the IP there i set the Reverse DNS Name to my domain.com
The domain is hosted with namecheap and i use Plesk to manage the hosting but BIND DNS is not installed

When i check on http://mxtoolbox.com i get a strange warning: 'mail.domain Reverse DNS is not a valid Hostname' but i have not set a MAIL.DOMAIN in namecheap DNS so where is this coming from!

All i have as DNS records are mailbox pointing to IP, www pointing to IP and @ pointing to IP. For mail i have only MXE pointing to IP. So clearly no mail.domain but i can browse to it and i get to my domain o_O


EDIT: Found the problem, it seems that choosing the MXE option - pointed to my IP makes a (invisible) mail.domain dns record
So i removed the - MXE record - (Mail Easy) is used to forward mail to an IP address of a mail server - and made an MX record pointed to my domain
