Glad to know I am not the only one. I have 3 AlmaLinux 8 VMs with lost public keys. Imagine a disabled PAM.

Backup / Re: Critical Backup Bug After Latest Update (new backup)
« on: June 20, 2026, 04:24:01 AM »
I have confirmed that all my instances are set for stable channel updates.
My concern is the erroneous programming that slipped through the cracks for a working feature that worked for months without fail. This effectively deems the emails of a successful backup as null and void and practically unbelievable since it is now evident that there is no checking that the compressed files have landed in the relevant path for each day of a daily backup. This is the local backup feature and technically should be the absolute robust and most reliable option of the lot as there is no external variables to take into account.
Unlike others, I am able to comprehend your stand in the marketplace for an extremely cheap (aspiring to be enterprise-level) web and mail control panel. Perhaps a good and working system starts with absolutely reliable local backups. The onus then remains on the SysAdmin to ship the completed backups to another location to prevent the machine from choking up.

I'm observing a few successive CWP minor update versions in matter of 10 days. I'm ready to let it run autonomously overnight. Hopefully this is the last time I have to stay awake after 2am.
Perhaps a beta / stable / LTS differentiation in the future can prove helpful to unsolicited coding errors that are caught before making it to production.

Backup / Re: Critical Backup Bug After Latest Update (new backup)

I have extensively worked with Google Gemini to figure the cause of the bug and in my isolated instance I have found the following issue.
The backup staging works correctly but the tar compression script bombs because of a slash concatenation in the hardcoded python script that is apparently encrypted closed source code. With standard command line I was able to bypass the faulty path and execute the compression as per usual.
Man! This took a while. After one week of daily rolling failed backups and having to pause quota system in an attempt to find the problem through process of elimination and avoid user account choking up - I would like to believe I am somewhat wiser.
Good luck to everyone!
PS The scipt for compression. Adapt paths as needed

Postfix / Postfix not forwarding correctly to plus address destination
« on: January 18, 2025, 10:46:37 PM »
Hi there
Destination server (aka srv4) receives email at inbound+banking-bankname@domain2.com from source server (aka srv5) when the email originates from source server. As soon as I want to forward Emails via bankname@domain1.com at srv5 to inbound+banking-bankname@domain2.com, postfix times out and srv4 prematurely closes the connection - as a result the emails end up in the queue at srv5 never to be sent.
Any advice?

Interesting.
Although Opera has never been a priority to use I always have multiple browsers installed for the sake of checking compatibility. In no particular order, I have Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Opera at available at any given moment. Perhaps Vivaldi may be a good replacement for Opera.
Now this thread took a turn.
But thanks for the update about the OQ. Good to know I'm not the only one.

E-Mail / Successful Mail Delivery Report - Turn off?
« on: August 21, 2024, 09:02:56 AM »
Hi there.
I am getting a Successful Mail Delivery Report for every email I am sending through my secondary CWP install.
My primary CWP install is not doing it.
Possible to turn this off?

« on: August 11, 2024, 09:34:31 PM »
CWP instance makes an outbound connection to rendevous server during update process. Make sure your public IP address for outbound connections reflects identical to the IP address specified in the services tab under your CWP online profile page. Once the routing is correct it will reactivate CWP Pro automatically during a routine license check. You can also speed up the process but manually requesting updates via SSH.
Good luck with your endeavour.

« on: August 11, 2024, 09:27:34 PM »
My most recent install of CWP lives on AlmaLinux behind NAT and works perfectly.
If your emails are not not being dispatched verify that PTR record matches the hostname of the machine. Also make sure that port 25 locally and remotely in both directions are reachable. Firewall is also a common issue.

E-Mail / Not getting a desired result + (plus) address with / (slash) to a nested folder
« on: August 11, 2024, 09:04:42 PM »
When email inbound+test@domain.com the email are correctly placed in a subfolder to the inbox.
However, when I am using a / (slash) to route emails to a nested folder, for example: inbound+test/nested@domain.com it is delivered to the Inbox folder.
Is nested folder plus addressing a non-supported feature?

E-Mail / Email forwarder - User panel not accepting + (plus) addresses
« on: July 26, 2024, 11:02:02 PM »
I am told by CWP user panel there is an error in the forwarding address when typing out a plus address. When setting up the plus address in hosting management panel the plus address is accepted.
Perhaps a bug or limitation in the programming of the user panel?
