ISPConfig Notes

Domains

When setting up web hosting 'www.xyz.com', a co-domain will also be automatically created 'xyz.com'. If you want this web site to respond to other domain names, add them as co-domains.

E-Mail

Global Blacklist

You can blacklist someone globally by editing the /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf file. Add an entry like this at the end:

blacklist_from *douglaspublications.com

To Host or Not to Host E-Mail

If you do not want ISPconfig to host the mail for a particular web site (domain), you must set the Mailserver setting in Options to 'External Mailserver'. Don't forget to set the co-domain too!

ISP Manager
- Sites
  - Web Site
    - Options
      - Mailserver
    - Co-Domains
      - IP Address of Co-Domain
        
        Options
        
        Mailserver

Rebuilding Configuration Files

Run this command:

/root/ispconfig/php/php -q /root/ispconfig/scripts/writeconf.php

If you get a segmentation fault (segfault), check the:

Management
- Server
  - Settings
    - DNS

Make sure it is set properly. On a Centos 4.4 host with bind chrooted:

/var/named/chroot/var/named

DNS

See here and here also.

Reverse DNS

Classless Reverse (CIDR)

More Name Servers

If you want more than two name servers per domain, you must edit /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/pri.domain.master and put it in the /root/ispconfig/isp/conf/customized_templates directory.

If you simply edit the file in place, your edits will not survive the next ISPconfig upgrade.
