Topic: VPS provider changed my IP - what do I need to do to adjust?

==== REQUIRED BASIC INFO OF YOUR IREDMAIL SERVER ====

- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:

0.9.7/MySQL/Apache/No-Pro


Woothosting was purchased by AlphaRacks.  Out of the blue, the "upgraded' all my VPS machines.  They claim faster RAID and processors.  Unfortunately they were 'forced' to change the IP address.

I've gone in to my domain host (GoDaddy) and updated the DNS records.

I've asked AlphaRacks to reset the Reverse DNS record.

My letsencrypt certificate appears to be 'confused' since I'm now showing "Not Secure" when I go to the IP of the mail server.

Other than the reverse PTR, what other adjustments do I need to make?  Does this impact DKIM, for example?

Anyone know what I need to do to fix the letsencrypt certificates?

As an aside, the conversion on AlphaRacks part shows a total disregard for their customers.  They failed to update the RPTR, sent an email to an email server that had no records pointing to it (thus the client couldn't be notified) and gave ZERO prior notice.   Woohoo that I'm on a faster, better, whatever server, but TELL PEOPLE BEFORE YOU DO IT.  Ok, rant over.

Thanks

Andrew

You must access web domain name to verify the ssl cert, not IP.

My new DNS records appear to have propagated - the SSL cert is working.

Any changes to make on server/VPS provider other than reverse PTR?
