I think the original OP, was referring to PHP environment variables, which is the preferred way for storing sensitive information like API keys, rather than being hard coded is stored on in a config file. It would be nice if this is something that DirectAdmin could provide an interface for. It...

There are always going to be spam samples which do not directly get flagged, even if you the lowest thresholds. Its all down to characteristics and scoring. First of all SpamTally and the defined threshold are not the same thing. The mail wasn't flagged as spam because it scored 0.6 out of 5.0...

I was wondering if it would be possible to run DirectAdmin through a reverse proxy in a sub directory, rather than a sub domain. I can get it to work using this guide: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=84 But this only works for subdomains, I'd rather do through a directory e.g...

UPDATE Turns out it was due to my IPv6 provider (Hurricane Electric). They had blocked SMTP on tunnels due to abuse: https://forums.he.net/index.php?topic=2782.0 I had to login and unblock SMTP access on my tunnel settings. Looks like it was a firewall block but something not being done by...

I've recently been reconfiguring Exim to properly support my IPv6 setup. I'm using Exim 4.85 and recently rebuilt the exim.conf file, as some areas had changed since last setting it up. I've noticed that after applying the new IPv6 settings, I cannot make a connection to port 25 on an IPv6...

Hi, Thanks for your reply and being so kind as to post the direct link to the thread. I followed the steps on page 3 and managed to get it working (see below however for the full story), domains on their own IP responded with the correct address so the lookups at MXtoolbox...

Hi, I was wondering if its possible to expand this code to include more than one additional IP address? smtp_banner =\ ${if and{\ {def:interface_address}\ {eq{${interface_address}}{1.2.3.4}}\ } {mail.host1.com}{mail.host2.com}} ESMTP $tod_full I have three...

Just wanted to say, this worked great, for anyone else interested, I use this script: http://files6.directadmin.com/services/all/backup.php.txt And modified the CMD_API_SITE_BACKUP array to add the additional parameter. Original array: $sock->query('/CMD_API_SITE_BACKUP', array( 'action'...

Hi John, Thanks for bringing that API related command to my attention, I've implemented it into the backup script, hopefully should silence the message system messages. Thanks, James

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I have both checkboxes within the Admin Backup section unchecked. The actual "Backup Ready" message is generated on the specific users account so I don't think this setting applies here. Thanks, James

Hi, It it possible to silence the "Your Backup is Ready" messages in DirectAdmin? I have disabled email notifications but there doesn't seem to be an obvious way to disable the actual notification in the message system itself. Is it possible to do this? I only ask as I run a daily cron...

Thanks I missed that section when looking for CA Certificates in Exim. Everything seems to be working, a side note for anyone, make sure the certs and key files are chowned (chown) to the mail group. Many thanks for your help.

Ah I understand it a bit better now thanks! I'll try it out and report back. One additional question, how can I define a CA Cert? My SSL certificates (RapidSSL) comes with one?

You are probably right. I was just curious as DirectAdmin didn't seem to be honoring the value I put, but it seems there are situations that allow such brute force attempts to be attempted after the block value, but none the less they are blocked in due course so it isn't really a concern. More...

Hi, I've been implementing multiple SSL certificates on IMAP and POP3 in Dovecot which was easy enough following: http://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=388 Now I want to do the same with Exim for SMTP. I noticed this small entry in the Knowledge base...

Sorry if my previous reply sounded rude, I didn't intend for that. After re-reading my wording, it may have seemed that way. I have looked through all the DA help files relating to Brute Force and couldn't find any obvious way to control how quickly brute force attempts are blocked, other than...

Hi, Not sure exactly what your pointing out here, I didn't mention it directly but my "Blacklist IPs for excessive login attempts" setting is also at 10, but IP's are able to make more attempts than this before actually getting blocked. I of course also followed this guide to implement basic...

Hi, I have setup BFM and CSF on my VPS Server. I have modified the block_ip and unblock_ip sh scripts to be usable with CSF. So BFM detects the brute force attempts but CSF actually handles the blocking with the CSF deny file, but enables the BFM monitor section in DirectAdmin to work in...
