Hi, I got a complaint about backscatter spam from our exim config using a stock exim 2.1.1 that bounced from our mail server but appears it was not at the SMTP level. It sent to the "From" and not rejected at the smtp level. Here is the log output: 2008-11-25 02:17:11 1L4sAZ-0007AJ-Al <=...

DA and smtalk... can you NOT _NOT_ *NOT* force install mysql rpms per your build script. With a new install I tell mysql in the options.conf to not install the mysql rpms. mysql=5.0 mysql_inst=no mysql_backup=no before running setup.sh. I have the setup.sh run custombuild and perform the...

DA thanks for the adding the option to move DA logs to syslog. I now have another request: Can you add more details in the directadmin output? I have a customer blaming us (or your control panel for deleting their email accounts) I know stupid assumption on their part. In the log file it...

Previous mail system we used (qmail) had a feature to only respond to a email once (within say a 6 hour period) when autoresponder was enabled. Can we add this to DirectAdmin to prevent email loops?

Hi, Let me first state, I love you guys at DA and the software. My biggest gripe about your software management. You compile way too much software or create custom rpms (that the source rpms don't complie out of the box in this case I'm specifically referring to exim) Let me give you some...

Anyone using Puppet to configure DirectAdmin? If so do you have a Recipe?

Instead of complete admin access to all features, why not setup admin users like "reseller" and "users" where you can enable/disable features. Would be perfect for our managed customers who should have the ability to restart apache BUT not have access to adding ip addresses to the server/vps...

The ability to pipe shell commands: ie: support: "|procmail -m /home/empoweri/procmail/support-procmail.rc" Right now we have to manually hack the alias file.

I get the source code for the shtml for any 404 page on the main site.

We have over 40 DirectAdmin servers we manage and we need a method to ensure the package the customer is paying for is what they are getting. We update our packages and then put them in a RPM to distribute to all our servers. We need a method to validate the customer package and also change...

While the build system is nice in it's customization, it really is hard to then maintain and keep consistent among a high amount of servers/VPSes. We maintain over 25 DA installations and it's getting much harder maintain. If we had to do this for our base OS install we won't be able to do it...

Have a method to notify (via an Email notice of course) the email user they are approaching their email quota if it is set in the control panel. Say at 80%. The email address in the control panel should be the sender of the notice.

With the recent cpanel exploit mess I want to ask the creators of DA what security measures do you have in place to make sure your code is secure? It would be great if DA and us as hosting companies can avoid the cpanel problems with security. Since all of it is complied and closed source we...

Just came out... The CentOS development team is please to announce the release of CentOS 3.8 for i386 and x86_64. CentOS 3.8 is available on all mirrors and via bittorrent. This release corresponds to the upstream vendor U8 release together with updates through August 11th (depending on...

adds WAY too much server load if spamassassin is added and now a days really serves no purpose (other than to get a lot of spam from spammers) Once we have disabled this function server load dropped dramaticly in some cases. (especially if the catch all was forwared off site) Want an option...
