Question

How to change mail server's domain name?

Answer

  • Domain is delegated to the Plesk DNS:

    1. Log into Plesk

    2. Navigate to Domains > example.com > DNS Settings

    3. Click on MX record

    4. Set Mail exchange server to the desired domain

      Note: The value of the MX record must have a corresponding A record.

  • Domain is not delegated to the Plesk DNS:

    1. Connect to the server via SSH

    2. Find authoritative DNS provider for the domain:

      # dig +short example.com NS
      ns2.he.net.
      ns5.he.net.
      ns4.he.net.
      ns3.he.net.
      ns1.he.net.

    3. Navigate to the DNS provider's web-interface and log in.

    4. Set MX record to the desired domain.
