Bulk MX record adding to all domains.

Hello great people
Question is simple, I need to add second mx record to all domains. Can you guide me. Thanks in advance.

create /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom
copy from /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/
dns_mx.conf dns_a.conf and if needed dns_aaaa.conf
edit them as you want, run named conf rewrite:
echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d400
last string check zones

Will this override existing "custom" mx records?

 

[Zhenyapan]

not sure, i don't have free server to test it now.
you can try to modify directly /var/named/dnszonefile.db's by perl script
you can google a lot of ready console commands to replace/add strings to files and modify it for Your purposes

Ok thank you

echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
This does not seem to be doing/updating anything.

This does not seem to be doing/updating anything.

Are you sure? Normally this would at least update the SOA records if I'm not mistaken.

 

[ozgurerdogan]

Probably I miss something. But custom files are only affected on new account not existing one.

 

[Richard G]

Correct, but I thought you would change the existing ones by perl script or command.

Yes following command added mx records to all domains. In case someone needs. domlist must contain all domains in server.

for x in `cat /bulk-dns-add/domlist` ; do echo "$x. 900 IN MX 0 mx.record.com." >> /var/named/$x.db ; done

Yes. And after you did that, the task.queue command should update all serials.
