Hi, i have a few primary domains to which i am trying to attach a few alais's when i try attach a new alais to this doman in perticular i receive the following error:
"There is incorrect combination of resource records in the zone"

This domain already has 2 other domains attached as aliases and below i have pasted the current zone file. Any ideas, i have thought of deleting all the cnames but its not really a solution as i experience this issue with a few other sites with almost no records in the zone file.

Hi,

Plesk couldn't allow to add CNAME record because it assume that mail.yourdomain.com A record is exist in the zone because MX record configured mail.yourdomain.com.

To add the CNAME for mail.yourdomain.com, you just need to delete both A and MX for mail.yourdomain.com.
