How to configure the reverse DNS of a failover IP
You can edit the reverse DNS of a failover IP address to a custom value. This can be useful when you want to send email from your Dedibox, as certain remote mail servers do not accept mails coming from generic reverse hostnames.
- You have an account and are logged into the Dedibox Console
- You have performed the linking process between Dedibox and Scaleway
