Is it possible to use DirectAdmin without installing / using POP3 / IMAP servers?
Or will the options always be visible in the templates?

Hello,

Yes, you can disable POP/IMAP on your server.

cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build set_service dovecot delete
./build set dovecot no
./build set dovecot_conf no

Run this:

./build list_removals

you should see:

Dovecot installed, but not enabled in options.conf: './build remove_dovecot'

And run

./build remove_dovecot

to remove dovecot from your server.

You should see output similar to:

[root@server custombuild]# ./build remove_dovecot
Disabling dovecot in services.status
Disabled on this server
Removing /etc/init.d/dovecot...
Removing directory: /usr/share/doc/dovecot...
Removing directory: /etc/dovecot...
Removing directory: /usr/lib/dovecot...
Removing directory: /usr/libexec/dovecot...
Removing directory: /usr/include/dovecot...
Removing file: /usr/sbin/dovecot...
Removing file: /etc/dovecot.conf...

That's it.

And you will need to customize a skin to remove POP/IMAP sections from it.

Thnx!
Let's see if that is also working with DNS. We use PowerDNS.
