I have setup an Ubuntu droplet and setup 2 different domains on my droplet. I need to setup my mail server on an external server with different IP address other than digitalocean. What configuration changes I need to make.
Avinash - You will want to point the MX records to the correct spot. You need to get the providers new MX records and point your domain MX to that.
Following is the example how i setup my dns records. Can you let me know if these properly configured.
Lets say I have one droplet with IP address 1.2.3.4. On this I have configured my main website abc.com
There is another ip address where i want to configure my mail server which is not digital ocean. its IP is 5.6.7.8
Following is the setup that i created :
A @ 1.2.3.4
A mail 5.6.7.8
CNAME * @
CNAME *.mail mail.abc.com
Mx 10 5.6.7.8
NS ns1.digitalocean.com
NS ns2.digitalocean.com
NS ns3.digitalocean.com
I am new to this so apologies if I have asked any naive query
