Hello.
I'm having some problems with spamers because SMTP authentification is turned off. How to turn it on in FreeBSD 6.4?
 
SMTP authentication is turned on by default. You would have had to turn it off for it to be off. So either you turned it off or you have a different problem. What leads you to believe SMTP authentication is turned off? Is it only because a spammer is using your server?
 
In "The Bat!" SMTP authentification for my server is turned off and I can send e-mails. Thats why I think that it is turned off
 
DirectAdmin's exim install, by default, authorizes anyone who's typed in a correct password to receive email from the server in the past X minutes. X is defined in exim.conf.

I have another question. About IMAP now. Don't want to start new thread.

Few weeks ago all webmail clients stoped working.

Error connecting to IMAP server: localhost.
60 : Operation timed out

How to fix that problem?
 
Is imap running?

What do you get when from the command line you do:
Code: 
telnet localhost 143

Code: 
nitrohost# telnet 127.0.0.1 143
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.nitrohost.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot DA ready.


nitrohost# telnet nitrohost.org 143
Trying 86.100.101.7...
Connected to nitrohost.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK Dovecot DA ready.
 
The only test I care about is the one to localhost. Since it works, there's no way to tell why your local webmail can't connect without checking the server. We can do that as a commercial service, but perhaps you can get help from DirectAdmin Support.

I have more than 600000 leters in my admin account. DirectAdmin can't delete them. How to delete them manualy?
 
Manually. From the command line, one a time.

Yes. Or you can read up on using the xargs command.

Jeff
 
I really can't, because if I make a mistake you might accidentally delete everything on your server. I don't want the responsibility.

But you can start by reading Brad's Exim CheatSheet.
