@Achterstraat Version detection can be simplified with: current=$(da v | cut -d ' ' -f 2) latest=$(dig +short current-version.directadmin.com txt | sed 's/.*v=\([^&]*\).*/\1/') Version check over DNS should be much faster. The DA itself is also always aware if update is available. So...

@vinao if this happened after you have updated the Exim configuration using CustomBuild (da build exim_conf or via GUI), then this could mean one of the two things (or both of them): Your clients using Thunderbird or Outlook were passing passwords over plain-text connection (not using...
