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 login;
4. Set MX record to the desired domain.
