    Hello, I'm the creator of those scripts, they're ready until the previous version (1.1.0rc2), in the current release some domain statuses changed, so I've to adapt the code to fix it, but I'm in the process of doing it.
    The code quality is not good, but still it does the job.


    Hi! thank you for your reply. At the moment I just need the creation functionality (no changes, no deletions). Are the current scripts ready to go just for this purpose?


    DNS query type PTR on 192.0.2.4 --> returns PTR-record="hostname.example.com" (1 result)
    DNS query type A on "hostname.example.com" --> returns A-record=192.0.2.4 (1 result)

    Unfortunately my domain reseller does not offers ptr configuration.
    So I moved to this solution.


    Doing a reverse lookup on my STATIC_IP it gives me the real CNAME record, let's say cool.1.2.3.4.blah.com


    So I changed the hostname with cool.1.2.3.4.blah.com and reconfigured IMSCP. Then I tested cool.1.2.3.4.blah.com with this tool http://mxtoolbox.com/diagnostic.aspx and I see all green :D Could be enough to stay "carefree"?


    too much bar and foo there :D Confusing ;)


    Yeah sorry :blush:



    Also do not forget to set the reverse lookup for the mail server name, otherwise your mail will be rejected by most mail servers.


    But I would highly recommend you read up some stuff before you set up a mail server! Be sure to understand everything about MX records, open relays, etc. If the mail sever is not configured correctly you might end up sending out spam and get your IP listed on blacklists.


    Can you give me some default config for IMSCP in order to avoid rejections, blacklists, etc?



    "http://www.bar.fo A STATIC_IP" is not correct


    "www.bar.fo A STATIC_IP" is correct


    You're right!



    warning : do not forget reverse DNS PTR


    Do you have a small example for me?

    Hi! I've two domains and I use just DNS configuration. Domains are foo.ba and bar.fo


    I've a server with a static IP and I've assigned server.foo.ba to it for FQDN requirement installation of IMSCP.


    So the DNS record is
    server.foo.ba A STATIC_IP


    Then I've installed successfully IMSCP 1.1.0-rc2.3 and I've created a new site bar.fo
    I want to use IMSCP mailserver, NOT an external mailserver.
    Now I want to proceed configuring the DNS record


    It would be fine to use following configuration?


    http://www.bar.fo A STATIC_IP


    The MX record should be MX server.foo.ba OR http://www.bar.fo ???


    Many thanks in advance!

    Hi! I'm trying to understand if i-MSCP is capable of subdomains full backup. I've a domain myfoobar.foo which has a database and ftp account. Then I created a subdomain subfoo.myfoobar.foo which has just a different database and shares the parent domain's ftp account (actually the subdomain root web directory is located under the parent domain's directory, outside the htdocs directory). Unfortunately it seems that i-MSCP backup system is unable to do a backup of the subdomain root web directory. On the opposite, the database backup works great. There's a plugin to create a subdomain backup correctly?
