Every few days I'm getting more and more reports from unmanaged servers that the dataskq keeps hanging, is running multiple times and so on. Due to the fact I usually recommend just a kill -9, so in that case I can't find any logs, but since I've got the same issue on a managed dedicated server...

One of the most complex sites I have has been converted into Dovecot a while back, I did this by creating a backup from reseller level and importing it on a server which was already installed as Dovecot. The increased speed is great, however there's something that troubles me. I 'dir' structure...

Adding bounce spam rejection I've talked this over with Jeff already, but we'd like to have the opinion of the rest of you. For a while now, our servers, and servers I manage, are being bombarded by the result of 'joe jobs', where the spammer places a from in each message like...

One of older servers (our first DA server, back from 2003) is going to be replaced within some time. I however want to setup some 'default' features on the new server. Most of these features revolve around MySQL upgrades and the new Spamblocker version, but I also want to introduce Dovecot...

At one server, a new Debian Sarge 3.1 was installed about a week or 2 ago or so. Today someone noticed mailing with the server to addresses that aren't on the localhost, weren't possible. After logging into the server, the problem became clear very soon. The popb4smtp service wasn't running...

Since yesterday I've been having a problem with the Imap service on just one domain. It refuses to delete mail, change statusses etc. I am able to copy mail to a non-Inbox directory, and that works like a charm, however, the inbox is quite important. I, however, am able to login by pop3 and...

I've changed all my servers' default backup system from admin level to reseller level, so that I can easily re-upload users to other servers if one of my servers fails. But I'm noticing an significant increase of 'traffic' caused by the users. How do I disable traffic counting for reseller...

Just received the following message: All fine and well, but what should be done with 4.0.x servers ? I know 4.1 is stable, but still, I really wouldn't like to have to replace 4.0 on our main production servers...

I've got 'some' issues with a DDoS, main server has been down for 18 hours. Now it's temporarely up again, I need to change the primary nameserver for all domains on all servers. This is a bit of a irritating job, so is there any way to do this all at once ? I've got a NS record that states...

For some time now, I've been having issues with one of our servers. It seems like the MailScanner system is causing a 'over'load... I've put some pictures online so you can see what I mean: To get a good look at what I mean, check out the daily load avarage graph... The MailScanner 'running...

I've been receiving complaints about slowness on one server at 12 pm. Well, locigal, as DA is than running the tally. Now I want to change the crontab so that DA gets the tally instruction a few hours later. My question is, will that interfere with DA's functions to work/corrupt data or any...

I got a call this morning from an reseller who's account was suspended. But I did not recieve the usual 'let's inform the admin' e-mail. Logged in, and checked it out, the account has no reason to have been suspended. Granted, another account (used by our own company for shared hosting), is the...

Today our main server had a bit of a problem, one user has an mailbox of 58 MB, and uses Imap. I've already received complaints about how slow it is, but when he tried to retrieve his mail today, the server load jumped up to somewhere around 78.89, after trying to kill services and solve it...

I've got a 'storage' user with about 40 domains sitting on it, but now a new customer wants to use one of those domains. I already placed some content for him on it (testing period), but now he want's to keep it, and I need to push this domain into a new user. Can that be done without deleting...
