I am trying to change the hostname and nameservers. I have changed all the setting in the DirectAdmin control panel to reflect the changes being made to my hostname and nameservers. However, when creating a new domain, DirectAdmin is assigning the old nameservers. I have changed the master dnz zone but this didn't help.

Also exim seems to be sending server mail from the old hostname.

Suggestions please...

What nameservers are assigned to that user/reseller. There is a nameserver section under the reseller.

Why don't try telling us exactly what you have done instead of making a general statement such as this since obviously you have not done that or else it would be working. Tell us step by step what you have done. Where did you make the changes?

The next thing to look at if you really did make all the changes necessary is to check to see if crond is running and the task queue is being run.
 
In "Administrator Settings", I have changed "Server's Hostname", "NS1", and "NS2. I have removed the old hostname from "/etc/hosts", and run hostname.sh to add the new one.

Problem one, the server is still using the old nameservers as default.

Problem two, server mail is coming from [email protected]
 
Give us a domain to check.

Oh and you did change the nameservers at the registrar right? That is the most important place to change nameservers.
 
I have fixed the nameserver issue, it was a problem with the DNS zones.
However system mail is still coming from the old hostname, is this exim or does exim rely on something else?
 
By default exim relies on the server hostname, but you can override that with a custom change to exim.conf.

However, what your'e seeing could be the result of a Reverse DNS lookup; you've never given us your information so we can't check for you; you should check to see what a Reverse DNS lookup for your main IP# shows you.
