wrong dns txt subodomains records

[Stefan]

Hello,

We have a problem with cpanel that is regenerating dns zones and is adding a new record to all subdomains, something like this:
...
subdomain3 IN A ip.ip.ip.ip
subdomain4 IN A ip.ip.ip.ip
subdomain1 IN TXT ""
subdomain2 IN TXT ""
subdomain3 IN TXT ""
subdomain4 IN TXT ""
...

for all existing subdomains.


How can we stop this kind o behavior?
We have some automate tools that brake because of this lines

I'm confused about regenerating DNS zones. What specifically is regenerating the DNS zones? Those entries appear to possibly be related to SPF records since those are normally TXT entries, but these entries are blank. Do you have any modifications to templates or API hooks you are using for domain or zone creation?

I have done more testing and the problems appears when we recreate(from backup or transfer) an account that has subdomains, on the restore page i have this section :
"
Updating SPF Records

Done

"
i was thinking also about spf, but i dont remember any option in cpanel how to activate or deactivate this record.


Thank you

The option would be in cPanel > Email Authentication area for activating or deactivating SPF records.

Found it, and it was enabled.

How can i disable it for all accounts on a server.

I dont use this feature from here, we have a custom spf record added directly in dns zone templates.

Thank you

Hi Stefan,

You could try the following:

for $i in `ls -A /var/cpanel/users` ;do /usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_uninstaller $i ;done

You'd probably also want to uncheck Email Authentication in WHM > Feature Manager area for whatever feature list you are using for these accounts so that they cannot re-add the records.

This script is removing also my current spf settings and not the empty one, it was expected,
its ok i can work around this.

Thank you
