Plesk error: “gzip: stdout: Broken pipe” when attempting to backup domains
Reason: Backup utility failed to write data to disk for some reasons.
Check permissions on backup folder and it’s sub folders. Right permissions are:
grep DUMP_D /etc/psa/psa.conf | awk ‘{print “ls -ld “$2}’ | sh
drwxr-x— 7 psaadm psaadm /var/lib/psa/dumps
Make sure that is is enough free disk space on dump partition.

Setting up webmail.domain.com as default for new domains with DirectAdmin
1) You’ll need to setup the virtualhost for apache. This can be accomplished by adding a 2nd virtualhost along side the domains main one.
cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
cp virtual_host.conf custom
cd custom
You’ll need to edit the newly copied virtual_host.conf (or virtual_host2.conf if you’re using apache 2) file , just add the following to the end of whatever you currently have.
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost |IP|:80>
ServerName webmail.|DOMAIN|
ServerAdmin |ADMIN|
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/squirrelmail
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.bytes bytes
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.log combined
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/domains/|DOMAIN|.error.log
</VirtualHost>
Save and exit. Then run
echo “action=rewrite&value=httpd” >> /usr/local/directadmin/data/task.queue
/usr/local/directadmin/dataskq d
to rewrite the httpd.conf files.
2) You’ll also need to setup the dns portition.
cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/templates
cp dns_a.conf custom
cd custom
echo “webmail=|IP|” >> dns_a.conf
This will setup the webmail A record for new dns zones. For existing dns zones, you’ll have to manually add the webmail A record to point to the domains IP.

In Usermin’s Read Mail module, how can I set users’ From addresses when my server hosts multiple virtual domains?
By default, when a user composed email the From field contains username@systemhostname. This can be changed by following these steps :
Login to Webmin on the same server, and enter the Usermin Configuration module.
Click on Usermin Module Configuration.
Click on Read Mail.
In the Default hostname for From: addresses field, enter the domain or hostname that you want to appear after the @ in users’ From addresses.
If you want to stop users from changing their From address (to prevent mail forging), set the Allow editing of From: address option to No.
If you have multiple virtual domains and want different users to have different domains in their From addresses, you will need to set the
From: address mapping file to the name of a file that maps real email addresses to virtual domain email addresses.
This must be a text file, with each line containing :
The username part of each line must be the user’s Usermin login, and the fromaddress is the new From address to assign to that user. The
username can also be the user’s full email address as it currently appears, such as joe@yourserver.com.
