Hey there.
i need to change my dns template and add extra ip address to my spf record for all domains. so i create new path in /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/ and added new file /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates/custom/dns_spf.conf and add the following line to file :
|DOMAIN|.="v=spf1 a mx ip4:|SERVER_IP||EXTRA_SPF||SPF_IPV6| ip4:X.X.X.X ~all"

after that, i've runned following command and all of my dns zones edited after 1 minutes but still i dont have new ip4 in spf records :
echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
how can i solve the problem??
Thanks
 
It might be that the ip4 must be behind the first ip4 and before the extra_spf to work, not sure.
You can do that a lot easier if it's only the ip.

Remove the custom template you made.
Then edit your directadmin.conf and add this line:
extra_spf_value= ip4:x.x.x.x
be aware that you need the space behind the = character.

All directadmin.conf values | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base
docs.directadmin.com
after that, restart directadmin and after that run the rewrite task queue again.

Let me know if that fixes things for you.
 
thank you my friend... i added new line to directadmin.conf but it is not working ... so you think that where is the problem?
are you directadmin developer?
i think there is some problem for this feature. how can i solve this?

Did you remove your custom template first?
Did you add a space behind (not before) the = character in directadmin.conf?
Restarted directadmin?
Did you have run the command to rewrite named?

I'm not a DA developper. If you can answer all of the above with yes, then i don't know, then you have to wait for somebody else to answer or ask via a ticket what is going wrong.

Or you can try your custom thing but use it like this, mind the space between the two ipv4's.:
Code: 
|DOMAIN|.="v=spf1 a mx ip4:X.X.X.X ip4:|SERVER_IP||EXTRA_SPF||SPF_IPV6| ~all"
not sure if that works, but it might if you put your ip4 as first. Worth trying.

I do not know what file should be changed and with what command, if anyone knows, please help. Because I also need to add spf for the added IPs in all the available domains

try this: echo "action=rewrite&value=named" >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
after updating custom template
