Establishing a trust relationship and synchronize DNS records.

We can establish a master/primary nameserver relationship at server setup level. If you do set up a primary nameserver, we need to establish a trust relationship between the two servers so that you can add all DNS entries from the primary nameserver. This saves you having to log on to multiple servers to set up various DNS entries.

To establish a trust relationship with a primary nameserver.

1.Click on the Establish A Trust Relationship With a Primary Nameserver link in the DNS Functions menu.
2.Enter the root password for the trusted nameserver in the Master Server Root Password field.

Once you have established a trust relationship with a primary nameserver, you will need to synchronize the DNS records between the primary and secondary nameservers after you have added new DNS entries.

To synchronize DNS records with the primary nameserver:

1.Click on the Synchronize DNS Records with Primary Nameserver link in the DNS Functions menu.

Adding SPF records for a user via SSH in Cpanel servers

SPF (Sender Policy Framework): A feature that allows a recipient server to verify that an email message has really been sent from the domain specified in the From: field. Enabling SPF can prevent your server from receiving replies to spam that has forged your domain name as part of the sender’s address. SPF only works if both the sending and receiving mail servers have SPF enabled.

Login to your cpanel server as root user.

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer USERNAME

How to import sites with custom MX records Ensim Pro Control Panel Linux

The import of a site with custom MX records could cause creation of duplicated MX records: apart from custom MX records which are defined in the imported archive, default MX records could be created.

In order to avoid this, please proceed through the following steps when importing a site with custom MX records:

1. Before importing sites disable the creation of default MX records. Run the following command(s) as root:

/usr/local/bin/SetDefaultMXRecordState -f on

2. Restart epld service using the following commands as root:

service epld restart

3. Import site from the archive.

4. When the site is succesfuly imported, please turn off the freezing of MX records for imported sites.

For this, run the following commands as root:

/usr/local/bin/SetDefaultMXRecordState -f off
