    A lot of "missing passwd_alt file", also on non-suspended accounts. What is this?

    I've seen massive of these lines in my /var/log/maillog file, like this: Sep 21 19:13:55 server26 dovecot[2301724]: auth([email protected],185.xxx.xxx.xxx,sasl:plain)<VzJy01I/xoC5nOmi>: da_alternate: missing passwd file: /etc/virtual/domain.nl/passwd_alt these passwd_alt files do not exist anywhere...

    Setup Mailgun For Outbound Mail - Email Tracing State Shows 'Unknown'

    Question. Do you require a mail account for the whole server r only a domain/user? If it's only the user/domain, then it's way easier to just check your MX page and then deselect the option "Use this server to handle my e-mails." Once you've done that, you can just create the appropriate MX and...

    One nameserver not sending out glue

    That's normal and logical. Glue records will only be send for the nameservers in use for the same domain. So if you use domain.com but nameservers ns1 and ns2.host.net then only glue records for ns1 and ns2.host.net will be given. I've also seen in the past (mostly .com or .org domains) that...

    Undeliverable from co.za addresses

    What do your logfiles say? Like the exim mainlog and maybe error log?

    One nameserver not sending out glue

    Short answer: no. Glue records are to be created by the registrar, you can't make glue records yourself. However, be aware that intodns.com is not always 100% accurate sometimes. This week it gave an error that one ip from 1 nameserver from somebody I was helping, was not responding. While in...

    Moving ACME challenges for Let's Encrypt to DNS-01 method?

    Maybe long time ago you did this? Or did I miss something? As far as I know you only need an access token from the registrar. https://docs.directadmin.com/webservices/ssl/ssl-and-letsencrypt-for-domains.html#lego-remote-dns-providers-with-let-s-encrypt can also work with autossl.

    Solved Loads of exim minalog errors: error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading

    Found a similar issue here: https://forum.directadmin.com/threads/exim-started-but-no-response.70328/#post-372759 However, the docs show the line I have has nothing to do with TLS: So I'm confused now as I don't use port 25 anyway. In my example mail from above, port 465 with ssl was used.

    Correct. Unless you can use LEGO with your registrar.

    Solved Loads of exim minalog errors: error:0A000126:SSL routines::unexpected eof while reading

    Just seen this happening when I send a mail, so I checked my exim logs and I get loads of these errors both on ipv4 and ipv6. In my case I've seen it when a message to some company was completed via the server and then this line is added with my home ip. 2025-09-18 22:48:56...

    DKIM problems

    Did you do any customisations? Is DKIM still active in the domains? Visible with the e-mails? Have you checked logs for errors? Did you try rebuilding exim and exim.conf already?

    Dovecot + Exim + Sieve -> DMARC policy Error

    Did you remove the DMARC record? I can't find a DMARC record at the moment for that domain.

    No need, if you have the v15 version then autoupdate is already turned off, the DA update also turns it off. But just doublecheck if it's indeed off.

    I'm not receiving emails in Microsoft Outlook

    If you're an admin, check you logfiles for what's going on. If you're not an admin, then please contact your host as this forum is only intended for support to Directadmin license holders, not hosting customers. And if you checked your settings already, then things should be fine. Check the...

    DirectSlave/GO 3 - public beta

    Yep I just encountered this with Directslave, but they also have Intel architecture, only with half the ram (at this moment) than with the arm64. So for DS one can also choose for the Intel. It's just for letting people know they have to watch if they order Cloud VPS, that they watch what they...

    Installatron not showing up in DirectAdmin 1.684

    We also had Installatron in the beginning, but discovered Softaculous is not only cheaper but also had way better support so we changed to Softaculous years ago. Additional to the above post, you could try switching to Enhanced skin and see if it's visible there.

    @roman_m I've seen this now twice on different cloud VPS systems, but both with Hetzner in this case. directslave: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error This is an error returned at Alma 9 VPS systems with Hetzner. I first thought it was the VPS so we switched to Contabo on Alma 8 and...

    Me neither and I also did not filter traffic by country code yet. :) Edit: fixed typo.

    Trouble with a lifetime licensing issue,

    Is this an external or internal license? Because external is or does not need to be registered to an ip or hostname anymore, unless you want to lock it on a certain ip. Or is it a VPS license? Yes that's double odd, at least to me. We got lifetime licenses. If I give that command I don't see...

    ConfigServer shutting down as of 31st of August 2025

    Yes oke but that is also called brute-forcing. I think our experiences differ. We also do get those spray attacks, that is where the controlling server load comes in. But we also fairly regularly where they keep running for a week from the same ip's. Yep but you wasn't really positive about...
