Deleting an MTA domain configuration using the CLI

If a domain is configured with an incorrect next-hop address, incoming email to be forwarded to the incorrect address is deferred. To fix the problem, update the domain specification by replacing the incorrect next-hop address.

For details, see Updating an MTA domain configuration using the CLI.

Caution
Do not delete an existing MTA domain in order to fix an incorrect next-hop IP address. Doing so deletes the email that was deferred for the domain.

This procedure describes how to use the Email Security - Server appliance CLI to delete an MTA domain and next-hop IP addresses.

Prerequisites

An established connection between the Email Security - Server appliance and the Internet.
You are logged in to the Email Security - Server appliance CLI as an Admin or Operator.

To delete a domain and next-hop IP addresses:

Go to CLI configuration mode.

hostname > enable
hostname # configure terminal

Delete the specification of the domain and next-hop IP addresses.
```
hostname (config) # no email-analysis domain mydomain9.com
```
Verify your changes.
```
hostname (config) # show email-analysis
```
Save your changes.
```
hostname (config) # write memory
```
