Windows server 2016 DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for mail.play-pen.net

Hi @gcodell

the mail - subdomain doesn't have an A- or AAAA record ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=mail.play-pen.net ):

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
mail.play-pen.net Name Error yes 1 0
www.mail.play-pen.net Name Error yes 1 0

If you want to use http validation, you need an A record

Your Domain name -> your ip address.

If you run the client on your play-pen.net domain, create an A record with the same ip address.

PS: Your main domain

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
play-pen.net A 173.197.225.50 Enterprise/Alabama/United States (US) - Spectrum Hostname: rrcs-173-197-225-50.west.biz.rr.com yes 1 0
AAAA yes

has a correct configuration. So create such an entry with your mail subdomain.
