Hi to all,
I use cpanel without advanced dns editor, just simple dns editor. When I decided to delete mx record (because i don't need mail boxes for this domain, but recieve many spam) this delete an A record for the domain (without asking)? How can revert this actoion? How this is possible? I have permition to delete something, but not to create to? I just delete an mx record ... why the A record desapear too :(
I try to create A record
mydomain.ru to server ip address and red baner tells me:
Error
You must have the zoneedit feature to take this action. You currently only have the simplezoneedit feature.

In simple dns editor I have this records:

localhost.XXXus.ru. A 127.0.0.1 Delete
mail.XXXus.ru. CNAME XXXus.ru Delete
ftp.XXXus.ru. CNAME XXXus.ru Delete
autoconfig.XXXus.ru. A 91.1XX.1XX.61 Delete
autodiscover.XXXus.ru. A 91.1XX.1XX.61 Delete
webdisk.XXXus.ru. A 91.1XX.1XX.61 Delete

I try to revert action, create new mx entry

Priority: 0
Destination: XXXus.ru

Now I have MX record wihout A record to server :eek:

:~$ host XXXus.ru
XXXus.ru mail is handled by 0 XXXus.ru.



e:~$ dig XXXus.ru

Great forum :rolleyes:
I solved the problem.
In section parked domains, must delete the row with desired domain name, then create again, and the default A record for domain.com will appear again.
Just great decision from cpanel, when decided to delete a mail, the whole website is down for no reason :eek:
