Other / Re: New topic and new reply form not secured by SSL

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.

« 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?

Other / Re: License activation time after payment

« 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.

Other / Re: Alma Linux 8 emails not sending

« 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.

Microsoft Edge is warning me that the information is sent back to the form server in plain text. It appears that some page assets on this forum may not be secured by SSL.

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?

DNS / Re: rDNS is required to match the hostname of CWP

« on: December 16, 2023, 01:10:38 PM »

i would say, for 95% of the people the rDNS is NOT the same as your hostname, because rDNS is something you will get from your ISP and nothing to set on your own.

E.G if you check google, the MX is called
smtp.google.com

But the rDNS or PTR Record is:
mail-ve1eur010036.inbound.protection.outlook.com

This is not the same

also mine is not the same, all i need to do for CWP to make it work is to manually change the name in the postfix main.cf
and change the following line manually to my rDNS name because CWP default wants to set it the same as the hostname


myhostname = RDNSNAME

Credits to Painkiller for providing the answer I was looking for, quoted herein.

For anyone who stumbles upon this in their search for reverse DNS issues, I have my domain configuration as follows:

1.  Hostname: srv4.domain.com (set with CWP Hostname settings)

2.  Admin panel URL: srv4.domain.com:2087 (SSL issuance works; User panel links are populated with the hostname on condition of point 3. and 4. being set.

3.  rDNS (reverse DNS): IP resolves to ns1.domain.com (set at your hosting / or IP provider)

4.  Edit "/etc/postfix/main.cf" - #network settings - replace the following entries with

    myhostname = ns1.domain.com (should match your reverse DNS entry)

    mydestination = $myhostname = ns1.domain.com (should match your reverse DNS entry)

DNS / Re: rDNS is required to match the hostname of CWP

« on: December 13, 2023, 06:51:52 AM »

I'm just going to put this here, but if rDNS does not match your hostname, 60-70% of your mail from that server will fail.

I understand the importance of the hostname to outbound mail server identity matching reverse DNS as it is an authentication method for some recipient mail servers. However, what I don't understand is that CWP is not automatically assuming the identity of the reverse DNS lookup and let the mail server admin decide what the FQDN should be for admin URL.

The question remains, how do I set the FQDN with SSL for the admin panel while still keeping the outbound mail identity vs reverse DNS happy?

CentOS-WebPanel GUI / Re: Change List Accounts "Open Panel" link to hostname instead IP address

« on: December 11, 2023, 12:25:32 PM »

My CWP appliance lives on my homelab and I'm not using Cloudflare. Instead, I have a VPN server with multiple IP addresses that breaks out in a DC in my region. My CWP SSL cert is valid, my hostname is internet resolvable, my rDNS does not match my hostname (FQDN).

I would love to know how to circumvent this as I have no interest in changing my reverse DNS.

DNS / Re: How can I have my own dns server to switch server for websites ?

« on: December 11, 2023, 12:05:12 PM »

yes its very complicated thing, Like if i clone websites to all three servers and its wordpress site, how do i achieve database synchronisation.

And I dont understand the whole point of dns server manager thing, what is its porpose and why use it.

I do face problems when I want to switch my clients account from one vps to second vps or third vps, every time I do that I need to change a records of my my clients dns to point the website to new address, and I use cloudflare account to do this.

Acctualy I reque a software or interface like cloudflare where I can change my clients dns without them knowing, I am a freelance and I sell server to my own clients only, not selling it as provider. and also provide technical support to them, for keeping thier site optimize, thats why i host thier site on my own vps purchased from contabo.

Is there any softer or dns manager like cloudflare upon which i can manage my clients dns records/zones ?

Correct me if I'm wrong - you are trying to load balance your website traffic for your clients? DNS by itself won't do this. You would need some kind of load balancer software to do this in case one goes down. Having two or more A records for the same domain will result in a time out for the single client that resolves the IP to a dead or unavailable server. Perhaps a better direction to look into setting a load balancer for your third server.

DNS / Re: Private nameserver/glue record config

« on: December 11, 2023, 11:42:48 AM »

Hi Guys,

So I'm pretty new to CWP, but I have a basic grasp of dns, just struggling with a few of the settings, so let me start from the beggining.

3 weeks ago I asked my registrar to update my glue record so I could run my own nameservers, they did this but this never propogated and the reason behind that was dynamic i.p (I didn't understand at the time as my router had dyndns) but fast forward 3 weeks I change ISP and get a static IP, prior to finding CWP, I messed about with other panels learning little by little along the way, a few days ago i installed CWP for the 1st time but removed it as it wasn't playing nicely with MediaCP, at that point I knew very little of CWP so i just ploughed ahead, remember prior to this I was still waiting for ywrserver.uk to propogate but as I know know it never would have done as it wasn't on a physical server so this last install I again tried with ywrserver.uk and it is propogating at last!! BUT there's warnings in leafdns that i need to correct such as the SOA record.

So
will the soa records update automatically?

can anyone point me in the right direction of what records should now be updated from my end in CWP.

if you need screen shots/logs please let me know if you need logs please tell me the location of these.

P.s Absolutelyloving this software, steep learning curve but enjoying it.

I am busy with testing of CWP for the last 12+ months and it's been going great.

From what I gathered - You are setting up an experimental machine with port forwarding and a CWP appliance.

Have you two or more static IPs attached to your ISP endpoint? Most DNS registries requires at least two or more IP addresses as glue for your DNS service. Also, you would need a highly configurable router to facilitate multiple outbound routes to labeled with each respected IP address. DNS will not work properly if your DNS answering suddenly comes from a different IP address and will cause unsolvable errors. Only one of the two IP addresses will be your reply IP address as well as your mail origin IP address. Make sure to specify a private IP and Public IP in your CWP config page.

Let me know if you need more help.

DNS / Re: My dkim signature is not valid

« on: December 11, 2023, 11:26:49 AM »

I'm using a third party DNS and i don't see eny entries on the DNS section on my panel.

For anyone else running into this problem...

The correct way to set up DKIM when using a thrird-party DNS service not controlled by CWP - take the content of the TXT record for DKIM at your CWP DNS and mirror same record at your third party DNS service. If for any reason your DKIM key is cut short due to input field character limitation it will not work. Make sure all characters exist when mirroring the DKIM TXT entry.
