  • 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.

Setting up mail on Plesk 12 with hostname hosted on a different server

ilijamt

Basic Pleskian
I have a server that I use to host my primary domain, and I have a cople Plesk servers, now I updated the hostnames of all the servers like

Code:
s1.de.myserverplace.de

Now when the plesk server sends a mail it goes in spam always,

In the SPF records of the primary domain sits this
Code:
myserverplace.de.   IN    TXT    "v=spf1 a mx a:myserverplace.de a:s1.de.myserverplace.de ip4:148.251.100.157 ip4:144.76.163.46 ip6:2a01:4f8:201:81b8::60 ?all"

But when I actually send the mail in the headers of the received mail I get this.

Code:
Received: from s1.de.myserverplace.de (s1.de.myserverplace.de. [144.76.163.46])
by mx.google.com with ESMTPS id p2si2158952wjy.73.2015.05.14.04.09.17
for <mymailtestacount@gmail.com>
(version=TLSv1.2 cipher=ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256 bits=128/128);
Thu, 14 May 2015 04:09:17 -0700 (PDT)
Received-SPF: none (google.com: root@s1.de.myserverplace.de does not designate permitted sender hosts) client-ip=144.76.163.46;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com;
spf=none (google.com: root@s1.de.myserverplace.de does not designate permitted sender hosts) smtp.mail=root@s1.de.myserverplace.de;
dmarc=fail (p=NONE dis=NONE) header.from=myserverplace.de

Any idea how would I set this up so this doesn't happen?
 
Hi ilijamt,

Received-SPF: none (google.com: root@s1.de.myserverplace.de does not designate permitted sender hosts) client-ip=144.76.163.46
You seem to have forgotten to set/add/edit your SPF - records at "s1.de.myserverplace.de", which resolves to the IP "144.76.163.46". Currently, there is only an A - record:
Code:
s1.de.myserverplace.de.    38400    IN    A    144.76.163.46
 
Hello,

Actually I did set them they are there

dig s1.de.myserverplace.de any
Code:
s1.de.myserverplace.de.    21599    IN    A    144.76.163.46
s1.de.myserverplace.de.    21599    IN    TXT    "v=spf1 include:_spf.myserverplace.de ?all"

dig _spf.myserverplace.de TXT
Code:
_spf.myserverplace.de.    21599    IN    TXT    "v=spf1 a mx a:myserverplace.de a:s1.de.myserverplace.de ip4:148.251.100.157 ip4:144.76.163.46 ip6:2a01:4f8:201:81b8::60 ?all"

Looks like it took a little time for the DNS to update, that's why it didn't work
 
Looks like DNS propagation is going slow this time, but I was doing major restructuring of the way things worked.
