  • 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.

E-Mail DNS Settings shared ip

New Pleskian
Hello,

My name is Michael. I've got a question regarding my mail settings.
I've got a V-Server with 1 IP address, but 2 different domains.

For example:
server.domain.com is the domain for my server and I get access to pesk over server.domain.com:8443

My domains are
first-domain.com
second-domain.com

I created the following dns entries for both domains:
txt: v=spf1 mx a ip4:123.123.123.123/32 include: server.domain.com -all
mx: server.domain.com (priority 10)
a: mail.first-domain.com -> 123.123.123.123 or mail.second-domain.com ->123.123.123.123

In plesk I switched the mail server settings to the option "Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP greeting"

I'm new to this topic and think that I configured something completely wrong. When checking with mxtoolbox the domain mail.first-domain.com I receive the following error:
"Reverse DNS does not contain the hostname"

That is okay, because I set my reverse DNS entry to server.domain.com. In my first try I setted the reverse DNS to my first domain, but then I received the error "Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner" because Plesk sent the wrong SMTP Banner. I was not able to solve this problem, that's why I switched back to my server domain.

When testing server.domain.com on mxtoolbox everything looks fine and I thought that I managed my problem. But when sending an e-mail to mail-tester.com I get a score of 7.7 mainly because of 2 errors:
  1. SpamAssassins doesn't like your mail
  2. Your reverse DNS entry doesn't match to the sending domain
Can anyone help me understanding this black box magic? I really despair on this topic.

Best regards
Michael

p.s. sorry for my bad English, but I'm not a native speaker
