CPX Control Panel Installation Advisory
As we noted on the CPX page, due to the high number of possible account configurations or modifications, there is no guarantee that CPX will perform reliably on existing VPS v2 accounts. CPX was designed and tested specifically on new server configurations and a small number of existing configurations.
If you plan to use CPX on existing VPS v2 or MPS v2 accounts, these are some issues you will likely need to address:
- If any domain on your system does not have a virtusertable catchall, a catchall will be created and new virtusertable entries for all users on your system will be created for those domains on your system. That is, if you have users joe , bob, and sal and domains dom1.com and dom2.com, the CPX installer will create the following virtusertable entries, if dom1.com and dom2.com do not already have catchalls:
joe@dom1.com joe
joe@dom2.com joe
bob@dom1.com bob
bob@dom2.com bob
sal@dom1.com sal
sal@dom2.com sal
@dom1.com Error :nouser Unknown user
@dom2.com Error :nouser Unknown user
If a domain already has a catchall, no new virtusertable entries for that domain will be created.
- virtusertable entries for entries in the /etc/mail/aliases will NOT be created automatically. This means that if you are relying on the absence of a catchall (allowing mail to pass through virtusertable on to the aliases file), mail will not be delivered as you expect. For example, if you have an alias:
friends : joe,bob,sal
but no corresponding virtusertable entry that points to the 'friends' alias, mail sent to ' friends@somedomain.tld ' will now be intercepted by the virtusertable catchall for that domain. To resolve this, add a virtusertable entry:
friends@somedomain.tld friends
- Any changes you might have made directly to sendmail.cf or submit.cf will be lost, since those files will be regenerated from their corresponding .mc files ( hostname.tld.mc and freebsd.submit.mc , respectively).
