I was having trouble with DNSSEC the other day with my mailinabox on v57.1, so I decided to upgrade to v60 and Ubuntu 22 to see if that would fix it, I’m still not sure on that part, however, in the process a much larger issue has appeared.
When I initially set up the box it used the server’s default IPv4 and IPv6 address, however I have a different IPv4 which I then set up and rebooted the box with and then ran sudo mailinabox to update the IPv4 address - it shows the correct one when the mailinabox command is run after I switched it, however the Glue records continue to use the old IPv4 (which is now disabled on this box), causing the DNS to fail every time I switch it to be handled by the mail-in-a-box. I’ve tried all the steps recommended in the troubleshooting section and I’m not sure how to get this to work again?
In the MIAB dashboard when I switch the nameservers to my box, it shows the “Nameserver records aren’t correct at registrar”.
I have DNSSEC disabled at the moment, the glue record at my registrar is correct with the New IP (as that’s the one I’ve always used for mailinabox) but when I switch it over to mailinabox DNS, the mailinabox server reports the Glue records at the wrong IP. I have checked multiple times and they’re definately correct at the registrar (and the status page agrees when I have my registrar’s DNS set)
It was only due to the flashing of a fresh Ubuntu 22 image that it temporarily reverted back to the Old (default) IP.
Are you using the external DNS of your registrar or the internal DNS of mailinabox? Having just done the upgrade myself, I advise you to use the internal DNS of your box. Set the glue records at the registrar and be done with it.
I think you mean to say that MiaB reports the incorrect IP address for the name servers ns1 and ns2?
Please rerun sudo mailinabox and be certain that it picks up the correct IP address. I suspect that you may not have updated MiaB when you changed IP’s.
Oh and please PM me your domain name so I can check DNS just in case something else is going on.
I just reran it and it’s definitely using the correct IP address.
I can’t find the button to message you (maybe because I only signed up today?) but my domain is box.dbuidl.com
I’ve moved my DNS back to the mail-in-a-box so you can see it in the state where it’s warning me about the glue records. Maybe it is just the DNSSEC issue rearing its head again as it works fine on all my mobile devices but not my desktop where DNSSEC is enforced.
I will attach a photo of my dashboard in just a second.
I’ve removed them all and restarted nsd and it’s no longer showing any errors. I suspected it might be the last one due to the punycode but I removed just that one and it was still spitting out errors so I removed the rest.
