Hello everyone,
I changed my server . In my old server pop3 and smtp server name were mail.domain.com
but i see that new server has a special server name. So i dont want to change all gmails, hotmails pop3 smtp . Are there any methods to change it in Cloudflare dns . for example
A mail.domain.com newservername
You could try a CNAME thatâs set to 
DNS Only. Instead of your âAâ record for âmailâ, make it a CNAME that points to that new server name. It might present an encryption problem if it only has a certificate for that specific hostname and your mail settings require encryption.
ok now it is like that for old server:
A mail ip dnsonly
mx domain.com mail.domain.com dnsonly
ok i will try to add this
cname mail.domain.com newmailservername
âcertificate for that specific hostname and your mail settings require encryptionâ , does it mean that i need to use encrypted method and ports instead of without ssl method simply for smtp, pop3. Or even i use ssl connection, it may not acccept because it needs own certificate.
Youâll have to test this set up to see how it behaves regarding encryption. Some apps will drop back to no encryption, but I suspect encryption will be a problem if the cert doesnât include a wildcard subdomain.
