Email Hosting

[memoriess]

Hi,

Is it possible to create a email hosting just for users only?
Meaning to say, they won't be able to use the ftp/site functions.

Just purely for email control manager only.

please advise ;0

thanks

This has been covered before

In short, there is no way besides making your own skin, however that does not stop people from accessing other areas of DirectAdmin if they know the links to use.

Interesting, Jon.

Have you tested?

What skin does a user get if they know a link but your skin doesn't have coverage for that link?

The simple answer is they get an error 404 - Page not found.

That is if you were clever enough to make a skin that only does what you want it to do and nothing more.

The only problems I see is that there is always an FTP user and if the people know DA they can log in with FTP and upload a website. It would be wonderful if the people at DA would allow for a default (package option) for allowing the unix user access to FTP or not, obviously the default would be to allow the FTP.

API commands accessible by the user level will still work.

Not tried that but I'm sure you're right. So we also need to enable/disable API calls for a specific package / user.

is enabling/disabling ftp for a user not an option? if it is disabled also no ftp account should be created (just 0 ftp accounts).

The unix user is as far as I know always allowed to FTP to your server. This even if you put the number of FTP users on 0.

Work-around perhaps? ..a combination of a) reseller package with smallest web/ftp space allocation possible b) a script to fill it/them with a root owned dummy file filling that space?

It's possible to create a proftpd script to deny a user access to FTP.

It's even easier to put the username into the /etc/ftpusers file.

Contrary to what you might think, users listed in /etc/ftpusers are not allowed to login using ftp.

No rebooting of anything is necessary.
