is there a way of just rebuilding the mail system with custom build or do i have to re-build and install everything?
 
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build update
./build dovecot
 
ok i did

cd /var/www/html/squirrelmail/config
perl conf.pl
press 2

and i got

General
-------
1. Domain : substr($domain, strpos($domain, '.') + 1)
2. Invert Time : false
3. Sendmail or SMTP : SMTP

A. Update IMAP Settings : localhost:143 (other)
B. Update SMTP Settings : localhost:587

does that look right?
 
chenge them by pressing the numbers as mine above by replacing domain.com with your domain name and server with your server name.
 
i dont think there is a problem with squirrel mail becuase i cant access me emails through thunderbird either. i'm at a real loss here.

i guess i'm just going to have to go back through this post and try everything you suggested again

if all works then it's ok and you should check for other perl modules missing too.
If that module was installed try to rebuild perl as it was

how can i find out what perl modules i might be missing?
 
I was referring to some1's post. You dont get any modules errors so you 're ok.

Did you change anything after DA's installation? How did you install DA? Customapache, custombuild?
Maybe the errors have to do with something that changed after installation.
The email system workes once or the errors came after default installation?
Did you change anything in exim.conf?
 
ok heres what has happened

i wanted to update to php5 so i followed a guide i found (i can't remember which one it was), this didn't work and caused some problems so i used customapache to revert back to php4 and this worked. I then tried to update using a different guide(again i cant remember where from) this didnt work so i used cutomapache again. After doing this i found that apache wasnt working properly, i couldt see any of my websites. out of desperation i used customapache several times to try and fix the problem but i couldnt. I then found custombuild and used that to update to the latest php and apache2. this solved my apache error and gave me php5. i then noticed that i couldn't send or receive any email accounts.

I've got a feeling that the constant using of customapache and customebuild may have caused an error somewhere
 
Try:
Code: 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build exim_conf
 
if i try
cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
./build exim_conf

i get

./build exim_conf
You can not update Exim configuration files, because you do not have it set in options.conf file.

also ive just noticed something, i can send email from thunderbird. Which means that now i can not receive any emails, cannot send emails from squirrelmail but send then from thunderbird :confused:
 
i changed options.conf (sorry for beeing dim ), and rebuilt exim_conf but it still hasnt solved my problem
 
if that would involve giving you the root password then no offense but i'm ok. sorry
 
is there a way of completely uninstalling php, apache, exim, dovecot etc and starting agian?
