Adjusting the mail record to point to external mail server???

Months after this email I am trying to repeat the same procedure, but I am getting this error

Cannot modify MX records

Details

You do not have permission to add records to your zone

This happens even though I have enabled the DNS control feature in that domain...

Any ideas?

Hi!
I sent an email to support at directadmin
and they pointed me to this article

It works OK, and is really easy. Just make sure you have enabled the DNS Management option for that customer.

DNS must be enabled for domain access at both the admin and the reseller level.

This seems to be not working for me,
as I am getting this error when I send an email.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its

If you really mean domain.com, then you have a problem in your system, as domain.com certainly does point to a valid host:
[jlasman@of1 ~]$ dig domain.com mx

If you gave us the wrong domain name to check, then all I can say is how do you expect anyone to be able to help you if you don't give us the right information?

Sorry, but I didn´t put the exact information as a lot of people here use to hide precise information on domains and email accounts...

Well, as per your request

The complete error message is as follows ........

My server hostname is alfa.vohosting.com
 
I don't know why you're getting the problem, as there is a valid mx record for perupacifico.com.pe, and it points to correovirtual.millicomperu.com.pe, which is a valid mx system.

What do you get when you run this command from your DA command line:

$ dig perupacifico.com.pe mx

correovirtual.millicomperu.com.pe.perupacifico.com.pe. is not the name of a nameserver. Somewhere in your configuration you've missed the period that goes after pe.

Re: Re: Adjusting the mail record to point to external mail server???

Because the exim.conf file (I wrote it) uses the same file for both "local_domains" and for "relay_domains", and because their domain has to be listed in "relay_domains" but not in "local_domains", you'll have to either rework exim.conf and create a new file, or hardcode their domain into the exim.conf file.

Hi jlasman, I know this is an old post. If you are around to any my queries, it would be very much appreciated.

I am a DA reseller interface user. How can I change the exim.conf. Otherwise, is there an alternative which I can use in the reseller interface itself?
