Changing primary/default domain

Finally I have cracked it.

So I have successfully managed to change primary/default domain name
and sub-domain name as well:
box.domain.win —> mail.mymail.com

here is what I have done:

1] change you rDNS/PTR record at your VPS/ISP provider
box.domain.win —> mail.mymail.com

2] change the External nameservers for all [other] domains at your Domain Registrars
ns1.box.domain.win —> ns1.mail.mymail.com
ns2.box.domain.win —> ns2.mail.mymail.com

3] change your Ubuntu Server “host” name and reboot
box.domain.win —> mail.mymail.com

4] run the “sudo mailinabox” and change the primary/default domain name on the BOX

5] change the DNSSEC details as requited on all [other] domains at your Domain Registrars according to details from " System Status Checks" page.

6] change all the “Aliases” e-mail addresses for [hostmaster@, postmaster@, admin@ and abuse@] so they point to correct/new primary/default domain

I have been without e-mails for more than a week (as per my other post about OVH), but it should only be no more than 48h and those e-mail will be re-delivered if you have a decent Domain Registrar :wink:
