Hi all,
This solution was not documented anywhere, i may not be the only one that loves a clean zone file (without yucky cPanel records that are no longer needed).
If anyone wants to get rid of the "old" cPanel records once you've migrated over:
And cPanel also does add the webmail subdomain, you could remove that one too but it might be nice to keep that one if you have a webmail subdomain enabled on DirectAdmin.
@DirectAdmin Support @smtalk any ideas to make this better, or maybe that we could even check subdomains that have these records?
Happy days!
