Hi all, I did a yum and custombuild update last week and ever since it is no longer possible to connect to any of our servers using the iPhone/iOS mail app with SSL on. The message is (for example): "The IMAP server mail.truskmore.nl is not responding". There is no problem connecting with...

Good day, I have a new server (LXC) based on a newly installed other server. I have great trouble removing all references to the old server hostname (admin settings, hosts file, hostname file, directadmin.conf and options.conf. There is still a reference to the old hostname because I cannot...

I have installed a few new DA (virtual) servers under Proxmox5 and after the first two went fine, most of the others do not work properly and do very strange things: - I have to disable / uninstall CSF to be able to access the servers at all (default CSF install that worked fine with me before...

Since a long time my clamd is unable to start on most of my servers (installed via Custombuild). I would like your help to make clamd work again, both to have AV scanning and to stop having the long list of warnings in the messages. In an attempt to resolve this I have: 1 - removed the old...

Hello all, Since the last updates of the various applications, including Roundcube, I have a problem that only occurs on one of my servers: PROBLEM: When I navigate to the /webmail alias or straight to /roundcube on any user domain on the server it does not load up, only gives the error...

Hi, With the push for 100% https website access, I would like to know whether there is an easy (automated) way to generate/create the private_html to public_html symlinks for existing domains. I have activated the default_private_html_link=1 option in my existing DA installs but if I...

** please note, this is NOT just about a low ESF score - this is about ESF NOT WORKING ** Good day all, After following the instructions to install Easy Spamfighter (and the Spamblocker) via Custombuild, I find that spam is scored, but no action is taken bij Exim when the spam is (obviously)...

I would like to disable the multiserver (DNS) setting from command line, does anyone know in which file that is done? The background is that I have cloned a VM which still has some domains on it and multi-server enabled. I am concerned that once I bring this clone up on a new IP and install...

Following a warning by the CSF firewall 'check', it suggested that I check php for ini_set disabled. I looked up which php.ini was being used through #> php -i on the command line: /usr/local/php56/lib/php.ini Then I added "ini_set" to the disabled_functions in the php.ini. I restarted...

Hi all, When you set a vacation message in DA, this only works when an e-mail is sent to the actual pop3 account, not to any forwards that point to that account. If you have any/several forwards pointing to an e-mail account, then it is (very) useful if all those forwards also respond with the...

Hi all, I would like to transfer a number of clients from 3.7 Ensim to DA and would like to know how to 'save' the user passwords in the process. I have read some posts that suggest to copy-paste the hashed password into the DA /etc/passwd file and/or the /home/<user>/.shadow. I tried this...

Hi all, A customer created a database (through an installer for a support system) but this database does not appear in the MySQL Admin overview. This means that the customer can't make / restore a backup of this database. a) is it possible that a database is created but does not get picked up...

Hi all, perhaps someone has some pointers or experience for me in the following (argh!) case: my webmail suddenly does not work anymore but pop/smtp/imap works fine. It's a long post, but I didn't want to bother anyone without doing some serious research first. Everything worked great...

I bumped into a possible loophole in DA account limitations that may be worthwhile looking at. I only did brief testing and am initially taking the 'lazy way out' by notifying you guys and leaving it to you to have a look at. Recently I moved a user to a DA reseller account at a third-party...

Hi all, I upgraded one of my servers to DA v1.31.0 and seem to now have a problem with the multi-server set-up. Another server running DA v1.30.2 was paired with the DA v1.31.0 server and before the upgrade it worked well. Now domain-modifications didn't get transferred, so I tested the...

Hi all, I seem to recall reading in a post here, that it is possible to log in to a user's webmail (squirrelmail for example) with your admin password. I can't find that post anymore, but can anyone confirm / explain this? Or is this only for DirectAdmin itself? What I remember is that you...

Hi all, starting this morning I have an odd mail problem - some of my domains on the server are not recognised / accepted. This problem manifests itself in various ways: 1) if someone tries to email to any account on one of the affected domains they receive an error message: <info@...

Hi all, At the moment many of the spam messages that get tagged by my spamfilter(s) contain three (!) spam tags, for example: {Spam} *****SPAM***** {Spam} Hey dude top brands available I can't figure out where the thrid one gets added! One is added by MailScanner, the other by the user's...

Goodday all, recently I had problems with large amounts spam being bounced to domain on my server (the reply-to email addresses were faked). After switching off the 'catch-all' this reduced the influx and load considerably. Now there seems to be a renewed peak in the arrival of spam...

This might look like an email question, but in fact is a question about the back-up system (and a bit of spamassassin...). This weekend strange things happened with SPAM on my server, which I fixed (catch-all is your friend, if you switch it off!). However, in the heat of the moment I switched...
