templates and bind records

Help! (Home for newbies)

hello all - and a HAPPY NEW YEAR to all!

i am attempting to use the ULTRA-COOL template feature (please see attached)

i am trying to add these to “BIND DNS records for new domains”

${DOM}. IN MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
${DOM}. IN MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
${DOM}. IN MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
${DOM}. IN MX 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
${DOM}. IN MX 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.

however for some reason, my newly created domain is missing this entry:

@ IN NS ns1.edwardsmarkf.com.

i suppose i am missing something exceedingly obvious? should i fill in the “Additional manually configured nameservers” area?

thank you all !

the forum is being mean again with the “Service unavailable” message.

here is what i want in my template:

${DOM}. IN MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
${DOM}. IN MX 5 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
${DOM}. IN MX 5 ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.
${DOM}. IN MX 10 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.
${DOM}. IN MX 10 ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.

That message occurs when one of your messages is flagged as spam. I’ve fixed that up though :slight_smile:

But yeah, try setting the manual nameserver field, you’d want to set that if you have nameservers other than your primary Virtualmin server.

yes that seemed to fix it. i am rather surprised i can make a change like adding extra MX records, only to find the results seem to crash BIND, unless i add the new “Additional manually configured nameservers”.

is this normal behavior, or did i miss something?
