Hello, I'm trying to edit DNS Zone Templates for all new hosting accounts. I want to change the default cPanel DNS configuration for MX records so as to get the following mail IN A 1.2.3.4 example.com. IN MX 0 mail.example.com. _dmarc TXT "v=DMARC1;p=none;sp=none;adkim=r;aspf=r;pct=100;fo=0;rf=afrf;ri=86400;rua=mailto:postmaster@example.com;ruf=mailto:postmaster@example.com"
Being, of course, %ip% = 1.2.3.4
and %domain% = example.com
I made this code but it doesn't work: ; cPanel %cpversion% ; Zone file for %domain% $TTL %ttl% @ %nsttl% IN SOA %nameserver%. %rpemail%. ( %serial% ; serial, todays date+todays 3600 ; refresh, seconds 1800 ; retry, seconds 1209600 ; expire, seconds 86400 ) ; minimum, seconds %domain%. %nsttl% IN NS %nameserver%. %domain%. %nsttl% IN NS %nameserver2%. %domain%. %nsttl% IN NS %nameserver3%. %domain%. %nsttl% IN NS %nameserver4%. %nameserverentry%. IN A %nameservera% %nameserverentry2%. IN A %nameservera2% %nameserverentry3%. IN A %nameservera3% %nameserverentry4%. IN A %nameservera4% %domain%. IN A %ip% %domain%. IN AAAA %ipv6% ipv6 IN AAAA %ipv6% mail.%domain%. IN A %domain%. %domain%. IN MX 0 mail.%domain%. www IN CNAME %domain%. ftp IN CNAME %domain%. _dmarc IN TXT v=DMARC1\;p=quarantine\;sp=none\;adkim=r\;aspf=r\;pct=100\;fo=0\;rf=afrf\;ri=86400\;rua=mailto:postmaster\@%domain%\;ruf=postmaster\@%domain%
But I get this error: near 'domain.com.': bad dotted quad What's the correct syntax? Regards,

  My bad! I should have used the IP for the A record, instead of a domain name. mail.%domain%. IN A %domain%.
  should be: mail.%domain%. IN A %ip%
