Email Server Could not be Found

[elzeeyed]

Hi

I just had my new domain and set up a few email accounts
set up Outlook and everything was fine/ Sending and Receiving

Until...

I added a subdomain with the name of (mail.mydomain.com)
Then realized that it might contradict with the mail server domain which is the same name
So I have deleted the subdomain to avoid the problem

now I could not find the mail server

Outlook returns this error message
"The Server Name you entered can not be found on the network"

When running tracert (c:\tracert mail.mydomain.com) it returns
Unable to resolve target system name mail.mydomain.com

How can I return it to what it used to be
I don't have a backup for my settings

Thank you

you should modify the zone file for said domain to add mail back

ssh:

cd /var/named
vi domain.com.db
press INS
add the following:
mail 14400 IN A youripaddress

save and exit
(note: you should also update the serial number but it should take anyhow)
to save press the following

ESC :wq
then restart named
/scripts/restartserv named

mail.domain.com then should start to work
