cPanel change multiple MX records
| Posted by orchardhosting, 11-16-2009, 03:45 AM |
| Hi,
Is there a way in WHM or via SSH to change multiple MX records?
Ideally, I'd like to do a find and replace, where I could remove completely, or change the record depending on my search?
Thanks
Tom

| There is no way to do this via cPanel/WHM. Via SSH, you will have to write a custom script in order to achieve what you need. There's no automated option anywhere.

| Thanks, can you give me any pointers on to go about doing this? For a start, where are the records stored? Is it by domain or in one large file?
Thanks

| The MX records for individual domains are located in the corresponding DNS zone file.
The DNS zone file for a domain can be found at /var/named/domainname.com.db
The same can be done via WHM >> DNS functions >> Edit DNS Zone
Note: Do not make any changes if you do not have enough knowledge.

| Thanks, I'll give writing a script a go to do this, else I'll be there for days doing individual records.

| Do remember to take a backup of those zone files before touching them.
Also once the MX records are changed, restart named/bind.
