Cant receive email | nameserver misconfiguration?

You could compare against this fully functional example.

This is what I do at Godaddy (or the domain registrar I use) before I install Virtualmin:

  1. create vps.serverdomain.tld and point it to the IP address of the Virtualmin server
  2. create serverdomain.tld + www.serverdomain.tld and point it to the IP address of the Virtualmin server
  3. create ns1.serverdomain.tld and point it to the IP address of the Virtualmin server
  4. create ns2.serverdomain.tld and point it to the IP address of the Virtualmin server
  5. optionally create admin.serverdomain.tld, ftp.serverdomain.tld, mail.serverdomain.tld and point it to the IP address of the Virtualmin server

vps.serverdomain.tld is the hostname.

Then, after installing Virtualmin, at the post-installation Wizard, I enter ns1.serverdomain.tld and ns2.serverdomain.tld for the name servers.

All other options in the post-install wizard can be as per your preferences.

After I exit the post-install wizard, for all my clientdomain.tld, I point them to ns1,serverdomain.tld and ns2.serverdomain.tld and create a virtual server with everything set to default for each of the domains I want to host. That is all I have to do.

OMG! I don’t believe I have ever had to fiddle with those, when I follow the steps I have outlined above to install Virtualmin. I point the client’s domain to Virtualmin’s DNS - then I leave SOA and stuff to Virtualmin - that’s what it is there for, right?
