Adding MX DNS Records

The AddMX utility adds MX record to a DNS zone /var/named/db.<zone> configuration file and dns_records table of the Parallels Pro CP database.

Before taking any actions, make sure domain is active and not suspended.

• -z, --zone is a zone name (mandatory)
• -d, --mxDomain is a mail domain. Default value is equal to zone name
• -s, --mailServer is a mail server (mandatory)
• -p, --pref is a precedence. Default value is 10

Note: Arguments mandatory for long options are mandatory for short options too.
