I believe /etc/exim.variables.conf is rebuilt with every /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild/build exim_conf by evaluating /etc/exim.variables.conf.default and /etc/exim.variables.conf.custom That's why you're told to make modifications in /etc/exim.variables.conf.custom. If a customization for...

How does Custombuild determine the order for executing post event hooks. For exim_conf, I have several post hook events that are triggered, but they need to go in order. I prepended the file names with numeric digits to try to get them to work in order, but that doesn't seem to be the case...

To add to this a bit more, you can send an email from any email address. This is the deficiency in SMTP. When SMTP was first invented, it was built on the honor code that you are who you say you are. Instead of fixing this, the proliferation of SMTP (email) continued with this deficiency...

You can do this exact thing - if me.com and you.com are on the same server. If you're spoofing some random you.com domain that doesn't exist on the same server as the authenticate me.com email account, then SPF and DKIM won't pass on the recipients server... that's the intended function of SPF...

But SPF/DKIM/DMARC etc was never intended to have that much granularity. They were meant to be used to insure message from any @example.tld email address was coming from an authorized server. I just think this implementation is a bad idea. But at least it can be disabled. I might encourage...

I would just disable this completely on the server. I mean, everything worked prior to this addition with this update. If an email account's authentication data is compromised all this does is prevent the sending out of mail through the server unless it uses the same email account as it's...

While this setting can be disabled - which is probably what I will do - it just seems that this "feature" is overstepping the boundaries of SMTP. In principle I can see where this is beneficial, but it really needs to be part of SMTP and not something that DirectAdmin takes upon itself to...

Alternatively... and maybe this doesn't do the same thing. But you can add the opcache_ functions to PHP's disable_function list and then users can't read OpCache information. Just a thought.

Would a 24 or 48 hour notice that a new version is forthcoming be beneficial? It would be for me, but I'm just one. Would it benefit others? Just to be clear, I'm not talking about hotfix releases, just major releases. Just for major releases, like when 1.680 is pushed out, "We expect to...

The wording in the 1.677 changelog that I referenced, just left a lot to be desired for me. Removing a user (located in admin level -> Account Manager -> Show All Users) did not display the "Leave DNS" option when multi server setup was enabled. So was it showing when multi server setup was...

I noticed in the changelog - https://docs.directadmin.com/changelog/version-1.677.html#show-leave-dns-option - it mentions about the Leave DNS option not being displayed when multi server is enabled. I don't have multi server enabled, but I don't see a Leave DNS option on the account deletion...

Is it possible to inject custom javascript code into the control panel when it loads for any user? I found some information that says you can add custom JS code into /usr/local/directadmin/data/skins/evolution/assets/custom/custom.js but that doesn't appear to work, and I'm not sure how dated...

What will really confuse you in regards to SMTP and TLS. is whether or not if an email client (MSA) is being configured for implicit or explicit TLS. As far as I know, Thunderbird makes a distinction (not necessarily a well described one). When you configure an outgoing mail server and...

Unfortunately I don't know what you are referring to with this. Are you thinking that there is something else other than the /boot/efi partition? There's not. Not with EFI. If you check the mount type for the /boot/efi partition, it will show as vfat. vfat is just the Linux name for any of...

I don't know what this is referring to? mdadm doesn't care what the partition type is. It operates at the bit level. It couldn't care less what the partition type is. In a RAID1, bit1 on device1 gets copied to bit1 on device2.

This is where you would run the command mdadm --detail %the/dev/device that /boot/efi is mounted from% or mdadm --detail /dev/mdXXX Really depends on what your mdadm device naming convention is. I think some use /dev/md/boot or /dev/md/boot/efi - I'm really not sure in regards to that. I...

You would format the resulting /dev/mdxxx device as vfat and put the EFI files in there. As long as /dev/mdxxx is a RAID1 which is a 1:1 mirror, it doesn't matter which disk the BIOS boots from, they're identical anyway (unless the RAID is degraded... but this changed so infrequently it doesn't...

If you are using EFI in a software raid - if /boot/efi is mounted on a RAID1 mirror device, then it needs to use metaversion 1.0 (or 0.9? maybe?... not 1.2). Version 1.0 writes the superblock information at the end of the partition, so UEFI boot will find the ESP partition without issue. Note...

In regards to SMTP forcing secure authentications, does this also apply for Dovecot's POP3 and IMAP? Seems it's rather pointless to force secure log ins with SMTP if POP3 and IMAP is still allowed to be insecure. I don't see any specific mentions of this in the changelog, but there's a lot...

By default PHP mail() (on Linux anyway) uses a system call to sendmail to send out mail. This is handled within the Exim configuration in the not_smtp ACL. There is no TCP connection to the SMTP server. Now if you are using PHPMailer or some other system that creates a TCP connection to the...
