Hi all,
I’m begging you all for help, please don’t ignore this thread.
My domain register is Porkbun, my server is on Hetzner.
For the life of me i cannot get DNS settings right, always get errors on MX Toolbox and similar sites, Google is not receiving my emails.
Can someone please tell me what settings needs to be in Porkbun DNS, in Hetzner DNS and lastly in Virtualmin DNS? I don’t use Cloudflare.
I will attach screens from all three DNS settings bellow.
I would really, really, appreciate some help here.
You can’t have 2 systems handling the the DNS. Its either external or internal.
The MX record in the second screenshot, the address need to have a DOT on the end like the other addresses. ie “mail.elementi.pro” needs to be “mail.elementi.pro.”
It doesn’t really matter, as long as you have one.
If you want Virtualmin to handle it, you need to register the Domain Name Server(s) at you registrar (so the rest of the world know where they are)
Read the FAQ on it DNS Frequently Asked Questions – Virtualmin
I’d stick to Hetzner until then, cosmetically it looks better with your own registered servers but they do the same job.
When you turn off DNS on the Virtual Server you will see Suggested DNS Records for you to copy to the current DNS.
There may not be a dmarc setting in the so use the one shown in the first screenshot of you first post.
It never occurred to me you could choose external or virtualmin DNS on a domain by domain bases instead of all or nothing.
I always turn it off in > System Settings > Features and Plugins > and then the option does not show up in > Edit Virtual Server > since it is turned off server wide.
You can use the same IP on ns1.yourdomain and ns2.yourdomain, seen some chat on the forum that its ok to do. And I have done for one of me virtual servers.
