Deleting domains from other resellers

We offer a self-serve option to remove email service from another reseller. Attempting to add an existing email domain from your cluster to your reseller account without first setting this record results in an error.

This process involves adding a DNS string to the subdomain _osrs_he for the existing email domain. Adding the DNS key string from the reseller's company MAC settings automatically deletes the respective email services from the active reseller account. The process allows the existing domain to move to the new reseller account. Resellers do not need to contact support for this process.
Important: This process does not pull existing email messages/accounts; it only deletes the email service from an existing account to permit it on a new account. Please contact support for verification to move email messages to another reseller account within your cluster.

Obtaining the key

The key allows removing email domains from any other reseller automatically. The end-user does not need to contact the losing reseller to terminate services. Once complete, add the obtained key to your DNS records on the email domain's DNS records.

  1. Log into the MAC with a company-level user.

  3. Find the DNS key under the basic settings section of the settings tab.

Adding the key

Add the obtained key as a DNS TXT record on the email domain. Use a TXT-type record on the subdomain _osrs_he. For example, on the domain example.com, add the key value at _osrs_he.example.com. 

Contact your DNS provider for instructions on how to add records using their tools.
