    A record

    ip address hostname

    internal ip domian.com
    external ip mail

    cname

    hostname target

    www domain.com
    ftp domain.com

    mx

    mailserver hostname

    mail.domain.com domain.com

    What's the output of
    Code:
    dig ns yourdomain.com
    ? That shows you what nameservers are authoritative for your domain, and that's where you must create/modify your DNS records.

    right i got back


    answer

    domain.com. 172800 in ns server1.domain2.com.
    domain.com. 172800 in ns server1.domain2.com.


    i have tried swapping the mailserver on the mx records from mail.domain.com with server1.domain2.com but it still dont work, but the dns records that im changing are on that server

    i installed ispconfig a while back and i got it working but i cant remember what i did!

    Can you post the zone file of your domain?
