CentOS 9 Problems / Re: CWP7 Pro DNS Editor Bug: DMARC TXT Record Truncated at Semicolon
« Last post by overseer on Today at 03:41:22 PM »I am a bit wary of the config editors after having a few bugs crop up like this. So I tend to edit DNS zones (rarely) in the CLI with nano.
Also note that Starburst found a bug in the Code Editor, so you may want to check out this one based on Ace Editor:

CentOS 9 Problems / Re: CWP7 Pro DNS Editor Bug: DMARC TXT Record Truncated at Semicolon
« Last post by 6Sense on December 20, 2025, 11:38:15 PM »Are you using another DNS service in the interum as your current DMARC records show as fine in MXTools. I'm on ALMA 8 and don't seem to have this issue. Is it listed correctly in /var/named/your-domain.db
MXTools shows:
v=DMARC1; p=quarantine; rua=mailto:dmarc@skon.gr; fo=1

CentOS 9 Problems / CWP7 Pro DNS Editor Bug: DMARC TXT Record Truncated at Semicolon
« Last post by Freespirits_GR_Host on December 20, 2025, 09:18:23 PM »I’m reporting a DNS Editor issue in CWP7 Pro related to DMARC TXT
records.
Summary
When editing/adding a DMARC TXT record using the CWP GUI (User Panel DNS Functions), the record is silently truncated at the semicolon (
when published, resulting in an invalid DMARC record.
Environment
Product: CWP7 Pro
OS: AlmaLinux 9
DNS service: BIND/named (CWP-managed zone)
Zone: skon.gr
Server: pieria (hostname shown on server shell)
Steps to Reproduce
Go to: User Panel → DNS Functions → (User Defined Records) → Edit TXT
Edit or add a TXT record with:
Record Name: _dmarc
TTL (Cache): 600 (or default)
Text record value: v=DMARC1; p=none
Click Save record
Verify the published DNS record:
Actual Result
The published DMARC record becomes:
The p=none part is missing (and any content after ; is dropped). This
produces an invalid DMARC record.
Expected Result
The published record should contain the full DMARC value, for example:
(or split across strings but still containing p=none).
Additional Evidence
SPF TXT records appear to be published fine (even if shown split in dig
output, which is valid). Example output:
So the issue seems specific to DMARC-style TXT values containing semicolons.

« Last post by Starburst on December 17, 2025, 06:44:27 PM »Yea, that's a fix in 15.09
Developer though the wording 'Invalid' didn't sound right.
Same thing, I might suggest changing it to Free & Paid.
Feedback is welcome.
You also can reach the developer directly via his discord channel.
But if you notice, on the left side that some users complained was empty has been fixed also.

How to / Re: Clear alerts & notifications from CLI?
« Last post by cyberspace on December 17, 2025, 10:41:40 AM »Bravo! But if I'm not missing something, wouldn't it be easiest to empty the notifications like so:Code: [Select]echo '[]' > /usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/admin/include/libs/notifications/notifications.json
Excellent ! Simple and effective solution
