I installed Mail-in-a-Box onto 165.227.110.239. The domain is box.givingtools.com. At some point, I then moved the installation directory (mailinabox) to /root/mailinabox and updated a few symlinks (/usr/local/bin/mailinabox & /usr/local/bin/mailinabox-daemon) to point to the new installation directory.
Now it appears that custom DNS is broken. If I dig some of the built-in DNS entries (such as dig mail._domainkey.givingtools.com txt
), I get a proper response. But for a custom DNS record (I added x.givingtools.com TXT arbitrary text
), I don’t get a response.
Here’s my entire custom DNS page:
I updated the nameservers almost 2 days ago. The status checks confirm that everything is OK (except givingtools.net, but that’s still propagating, ignore that).
Even when ssh’d into the box and I run dig @localhost x.givingtools.com ANY
, I don’t get a response.
Looking in /etc/nsd/zones/givingtools.com.txt
, I see my “x” entry: x IN TXT "arbitrary text"
If I were to guess, I’d say that something screwed up when I moved the installation directory. Any ideas?
