You could use mail-tester.com just to test if your rdns SPF, DKIM, DMARC are working correctly. I have always found it handy.

Turns out the issue was on DA's end Some how the date on license never got updated on there end :p. S DA fixed it today when server provider opened a ticket. Thanks for the fast work on that DA.

So this is really wierd as nothing has changed on the server in the last 30 days. I actually was getting ready to run some updates. Have updated to try to correct it. I contacted my Server provider that I get the license from and have had for several years now. After checking several things...

Ok, so way it goes sometime when you get tired. I did fix the syn attack, but some reason the firewall kept afterwords blocking my IP even when id tell it to unblock it. I had to add it to an ignore list. Also some ports somehow I had open changed :O . I had the auto update thing on for CSF I...

It was disabled I tried enabling it due to seeing the syn error. I tried setting all settings to low and still getting the error. Really odd and the network packets coming to the server are low I can confirm that from monitoring it. I will try disabling that but it was before this all started is...

So whatever is going on is completely locking up CSF in a loop it seems. messages were warnings syn attacks, but I enable against port flooding it dont help. If I run however netstat -nap | grep SYN -c it only shows a count of 1 or 0. I had the server facility check and they were not seeing any...

Yeah, mostly looking for a way to manually add a few logins. Only reason I thought of this was because of some really interesting brute force attacks I am having. Course love idea of having common ones like admin etc. I have this setup on some of my clients WP sites. I know they must be coming...

https://feedback.directadmin.com/b/feature-requests/bfm-to-auto-block-ips-attempting-certain-logins Anything I should change or add you think the the description? Thanks Paul

Ok fixed ;)

Its so same ip then cant try X amount other valid logins Is the reason it works. It also confuses the bots as they learn ok if I do IP 4 times not 5 x amount hours no ban. It throws there algorythm it all off. Similar techniques used on WP plugins and it does lower the attempts made drastically...

I keep having Bruteforce attempts on logins that have either never existed or existed a very long time ago. So I was wondering if there is a way in current settings to make it black list anyone trying (example) [email protected] . Anyway of adding rule or a plugin that allows such a thing...

Personally for me its not about the $$ per say. Even though I am a rather small host on a tight budget. Cpanel use to be good, but about 2 years before they got bought out. The company was definitely changing for the worse. Updates would break more then they would fix. Then they were pushing out...

So its really wierd I am migrating my drives to new drives on same server. Then did a restore (long story why cloining was not an easy option that is not related.) So if you goto https://www.sub.mydomain.net You get the error This is a placeholder for the subdomain ca.silvatech.net . Yet if you...

I have a couple email accounts very old that for some reason when I am trying back them up. and restore on a nother server as a test for the planned migration they have invalid passwords and wont restore. Anyone every ran into this issue or know how to correct it on the source server?

So, Direct Admin backup system has issues, but overall works infact if it had rsynch setup id feel comfortable using just it. I have been on jetbackup for 5+ years back in day of my cpanel etc before all coverted over to DA. I got thinking though as I have never tried a recovery though jetbackup...
