DNS records

[prashantbhushan]

hi all,
I want to do the following entries in DNS, how to do it from DA cp.

abc.com MX 10 MX1.abc.com
MX.abc.com A IP

I am not getting why pop record and localhost are used for. ??

There's no need for a specific localhost IP# unless one of your clients has a scriopt that needs it. Unlikely.

Generally you'd tell your clients to set their POP email clients to read email at pop.example.com.

To creae an MX record look at your MX1.abc.com below, the right side (destination of your example).

Enter it into the left side of your panel where you add a DNS zone record.

For an A record, MX.abc.com goes on the left side, and the IP# on the right.

For either/both ...

If you're typing a fully qualified domain name (i.e., mx.example.com) be sure to put a "." after the entire domain name.

If you're not (for example if you're using mx), be sure you do NOT follow it with a ".".

modify record

If i want to modify some record, i have not found any option...

I think i have to first delete that record and add another one..

Thanks for clarification jeff.

Yes. Generally we add the new one first.
