I have just set up my server to host mail for a domain but I am not allowing SMTP access (the users will use their ISPs SMTP servers) but I do want to allow WebMail to send emails. I found a thread at http://forum.directadmin.com/showthread.php?t=38252 that showed how to block SMTP by modding...

I am trying to set up email accounts on Directadmin. The email mailbox is [email protected] but I need it to 'capture' the old [email protected] I have created a DNS A record to point at the server IP for the subdomain Subdomain A 1.2.3.4 However, when I send email to the email...

My searches don't seem to find a definitive answer to this problem which must be very common Our server hosts web and mail for a large number of users who use AOL and similar ISPs and so we have configured Email Forwarding and Catch-All redirects for them so that email sent to their web domain...

Having just lost my entire server due to a hard disk crash and not having backups except on the same disk (stoopid or what!) I have had a second drive installed on the server. Is there an 'idiots guide' anywhere on how to configure this second drive etc so that I can perform a daily system and...

I have a website on the server that uses PHP to send out an email upon request by the web site visitor. These emails are taking forever to be sent - between 15 and 30 minutes. Is there are setting somewhere or a configuration that might be affecting this and how can I set it to process and...

I have two servers both running DirectAdmin However when I try to send email through either of them I get an error message "Error 0x800ccc0f: Connection to the server was interrupted" I can use my ISPs SMTP server ok so it's not a firewall or AV problem. I am able to access the POP3 mailboxes...

Sorry for so many questions :) I have installed SpamAssasssin as per the instructions on the thread below (had to install the HTML thing as well) and then upgraded it to 2.63 which all seems ok. However a thread did indicate that I could check it's status with service spamassassin status but...

I followed these instructions by removing the # from the front of rb_domains.... and I then restarted exim but it failed with an error message about rbl_domains Should I have done something else? Thanks Steve # Exim contains support for the Realtime Blackhole List (RBL) that is being #...

Is there a server wide Anti Virus package that can be installed that will check and filter all email sent to the server rather than having to configure one for every domain? If anyone has success in using one, some newbie advice would be gratefully received Thanks Steve

My SMTP server is acting as an Open Relay is as much as anyone can use it as an smtp server without presenting a valid email address or using SMTP authentication. I see in the help pages that SMTP authentication is meant to be used but I can't see where to switch it on and I am able to send...

I have a problem getting to grips with file permissions and hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have a PHP script that creates a folder on the server and then uploads a couple of files to it (it's an admin function in the web site). I have moved the site to our new server but...

I hope someone can help me :) I have a uploaded a web site and it is working just fine - however I have now installed a bulletin board (YaBB) into the cgi-bin but every time I try and run it I get a Server Error 500. I then tried to upload just a simple gif which displays perfectly ok at the...
