Later builds of Exim 4.93 added a new 'feature' that prevents you from directly using a domain name or local part in your configuration or scripts. In order to prevent a type of 'script injection' you must clean your domain name & local part. The suggested method is to use the dsearch lookup...

We have a few lifetime licenses, even though we are not a hosting company we just used them to manage our own servers. Today I went to purchase a new license to find out the licensing system has changed. I purchased a personal license as it is perfectly fine, we only need a single user and a...

I have run DirectAdmin on Debian 7 for a couple years, works fine. I am trying a server (fresh install) on Debian 8. It is quite different, there is no longer an /etc/init.d/exim with the DA install. On Debian 7 I have Exim access a socket at /tmp/srsd to process some SPF/SRS stuff. With...

I setup a new DirectAdmin server running on Debian 7 x64. This is my 3rd with the same configuration. I use CustomBuild 2 and in theory the servers are all the same (of course they are not exact). On my newest server Exim reports an error when SENDING mail over a TLS connection. It does not...

I upgraded to PHP 5.6 using custom build 2.0 (on Debian) I send email out from my server using encryption). PHP 5.6 is not happy about his, generating the following anytime I try and send anything: [15-May-2015 20:51:01 America/New_York] PHP Warning: stream_socket_enable_crypto(): SSL...

I am trying to setup two direct admin servers, with one website able to run on both. With PHP session storage in memcache, spead across the two servers for redundancy. If traffic is load balanced to both, and one box goes down I don't want the user to loose their session. I found some a nice...

I have updated exim from the default to 4.8.30. I wan to enable DNSDB lookups so I can have exim query DNS systems. I saw on this thread that it must be compiled in. How can I go about that when using custom build? Robert G.

I did some searching on this forum looking for info on how to (easily) install memcache. After piecing a few things together I came up with just a few commands and got it working on my system. I have two servers and it worked on both, hopefully this helps someone else. Here is what I was...

I know this is probably a strange request, but I am doing some testing with a antispam mailserver that is having problems. I am trying to replay email traffic but do not want it to get delivered. I was thinking of sending the mail to to my DirectAdmin box, but I would want the mail to be just...

I have a dedicated server on which I run DA. I want to have a disaster recovery server configured and ready in the cloud. Something like Amazon where I can do all the setup but leave the machine powered off until I need it (hopefully never). In the event I do need it simply power up the...

I have a system that sends out email notices for accounts, it could potentially send several hundred messages to a domain (one for each user of the doamin). The recipient domains are hosted remotely by various different companies. Sometimes I get bounced email, stating that our server is...

I want to use DA/Exim as a smart relay host, but can't find how to do it. I have added the following to /etc/exim.conf hostlist relay_from_hosts = 192.168.15.25 I thought this would then allow that host to relay, but it is still told to "authentication required" when trying to relay through...

I recently switched from Plesk to DirectAdmin. I've noticed a few differences in the email, that I don't care for and would like to know how to get rid of these features. - When sending a message from the webserver, the envelope-from attribute is being added. I am specifying a from address...

I would like to increase security on my DA domains by blocking access to the three webmail systems, and phpmyadmin. I will not be using the webmail at all, but I don't want to remove them and possibly cause future problems when upgrading DirectAdmin etc. I thought it would be easier to add an...

I am in the process of dumping Plesk and trying DirectAdmin. About 1 month ago I got a fresh new server and installed DA on it. I have not done anything with it, but need to start as I'm paying for the server every month! Anyway, I will be the only user on the box. I will not have any...

I currently use Plesk, and would like to try DA instead due to the high cost of Plesk. Looking at the licensing for DA, you must supply the OS & IP of the server. If I purchase a lifetime license, can I change the OS & IP in the future or is is only good with those matching specs?
