    You can change the default DNS entry of Webmail?

    When adding a domain, cPanel automatically creates entries for:

    cpanel 14400 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    whm 14400 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    webmail 14400 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
    webdisk 14400 IN A xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    It happens that we need to change the entry "webmail" type "A " to type "CNAME" to point to a domain. Is it possible?

    What we need is: webmail 14400 IN CNAME mail.01.domain.com.

    Note: This is not possible by editing the "Edit Zone Templates".

    Appreciate any help.

    Hello,

    You would need to remove the webmail proxy subdomain entirely and then hard-code the subdomain in the WHM > Edit Zone Templates file. Simply because the entry doesn't exist in that file doesn't mean you cannot create a hard-coded entry. The issue here is that the existing entries stem from having enabled WHM > Tweak Settings > Proxy subdomain creation:

    To remove the existing proxy subdomains, you would use:

    Code:
    /scripts/proxydomains remove --subdomain=webmail
    Then you would need to hard-code the webmail CNAME into the WHM > Edit Zone Templates files and manually add the entry into any already existing zones.

    In all actuality, you should simply remove the Proxy Subdomains entirely and hard code all 4 of them in the zone template, because any new domains will try to create that webmail entry due to having enabled that option. If you want to remove all 4 of them entirely, you'd run:

    Code:
    /scripts/proxydomains remove
    Then hard-code the 4 proxy subdomains you want with the CNAME for the webmail one, and uncheck the Tweak Setting.
