Just tested it with 1.643, the "mysub" subdirectory was placed in the main domain's webroot folder :-( I'll update.

Seriously? That would be a really nice change, because you don't want your main domain webroot directory cluttered with subdomain stuff. I'm running 1.643, I'll give it a try. In that case, my "Domain Setup"-hack won't be needed anymore, and I won't be creating these weird zone files. I'm not...

Small update: it seems that when I delete the zone for these "subdomains" (e.g. subname.mydomain.com) entirely (DNS Administration -> check domain -> Delete), but make sure it has its entries in the root domain (mydomain.com), it indeed resolves. Just removing all entries from the zone (except...

I'm in the process of writing a DirectAdmin DNS replication script that interfaces with Vultr's DNS API. I've run into a problem though. DirectAdmin allows me to create subdomains in two different ways: through "Subdomain Management" (runs out a of a subdirectory in root domain's webroot), and...

Okay, it seems I've mixed up SPF and DKIM. For anyone running into the same situation: SPF does indeed not check the From: header, more on that here on StackOverflow.

Thanks, I totally missed that line. Now I'm eager to find out what falls under "etc."... will try to find out.

Thanks Alex, but I'm not seeing the headers you mention (Envelope-From, Return-Path, X-Envelope-From) in that document. The doc mentions "Received-SPF" headers (but it's unclear what those are, even after Googling it), and "mfrom", "mailfrom" and "helo". Would "mfrom" not just be "From:"?

Haha! I was only half-joking when I wrote that, but I think this indeed describes the situation at hand better. Yes, your DA install can be compromised when hackers get full control over PHP, but I think it's more accurate to point out where the actual attack has taken place. I've looked at...

Here's my request to change the subject to "My WordPress website was hacked", which seems much more accurate reading this thread.

Hey everyone, I'm having in a (small) beef with my national government because I (prematurely?) blamed them for not protecting one of their official domain names properly. I was sent a phishing message, which I quickly identified as being... a phishing message. But then I looked at the "From:"...

OK, thanks for your thoughts on this Richard.

From your answer, I assume that this is not what I think it is, either the TS was referring to something else. Googling for "DirectAdmin E-mail quota" never brings me to the DA docs about this, just help pages from various hosting providers. 2 minutes later: I'm just guessing here, but with...

Kicking this relatively old, but good discussion on topic that affects many of us. I have a question, the TS writes "Since DA does not provide an administrative hard limit for email storage...". Was that indeed the case in 2018? Because we have "email quota" (now?), right? Or was he referring to...

Thanks for the feedback guys. I was a bit wary tacking onto this thread asking about "the best OS", fearing I might start a holy war on which is the best platform. But it turns out the options are not that many (anymore), and one of the choices concerns better upgradability. This will work.

Thanks for the info Brent. I'm not into selling hosting services, it's just a single box I'm looking to upgrade (rather: set up a new one) from CentOS. I noticed that FreeBSD is no longer on the "Supported OS'es"-list, in a way that makes the choice easier. I guess this soon in the game, no one...
