Hi all,

I am new to DirectAdmin. I have set it up on a VPS. As an example, the hostname is: host.domain.com. When I setup new users, the "now ready for use" emails come from [email protected] . This is not a real address and I would like to change this. I saw another thread that mentioned I could change this email address by clicking on the admin username in "List Administrators" but I can't see anywhere to change the address?

Also I created a user (and associated website) for the domain.com address. Was this necessary? I thought I could create a subdomain host.domain.com and then possibly setup an email address [email protected], but it gave me the error message "A full domain/zone with this name already exists. This may give unexpected results".

Thanks
 
Thanks for the reply. Can you please tell me where I can modify the user? If I change to "Reseller" view, I can "List users", but I can't see where to modify them? Would this be the correct place though as the new user emails ("now ready for use") are sent when I add a user. They goto the email address that I enter. But I wish to change the "from" email address which is showing as "[email protected]" which is not a real email address.

Thanks
 
I don't know if that can be changed, this is default. Normally the -f option will force the normal domain name.

If the hostname is server.domain.com do you have a domain created on user level as admin which is called domain.com?
If yes, e-mails now should be send from [email protected] and phpinfo would show [email protected] also.

If that does not happen, which version of Exim and exim.conf do you have installed?

Also check the /etc/virtual/domainowners file, the hostname should not be mentioned in that file.
