Having a horrible time today trying to get Email working from this Direct Admin box that I got.
I actually paid to have it setup by a consultant cause I didnt have the time to muck around with learning a new control panel software.
Neal with the deal down at the data center said he would configure the server for me 100%. And now that I am going through it, feeling some buyers remorse here, as I am looking at my /var/log/exim files trying to figure out why I keep getting this error in DirectAdmin > Mail Queue Administration when I hit ‘retry’ to send an email from the Queue.
2012-10-11 16:18:16 1TMRxY-0001y0-Rm Error in system filter: unknown filtering command “$h_subject:.” near line 46 of filter file
Want to guess what the logs files are full of?
This exact same error message with different timestamps and ids. Almost a Gig of completely useless Bullshizer!
At least tell me which file its in!
The consultant is of course, unable to help at the moment, and the internet has been no help so far. 🙁
I already greped out the exim.conf files as having the only instances of h_subject in the entire /usr/local/directadmin folder
root@da1:/usr/local/directadmin/data# grep -i -n -R h_subject *
templates/exim.conf:845: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {I am on vacation}}”
templates/exim.conf:862: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {Autoreply Message}}”
templates/exim3.conf:297: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {I am on vacation}}”
templates/exim3.conf:309: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {Autoreply Message}}”
templates/exim4.conf:845: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {I am on vacation}}”
templates/exim4.conf:862: subject = “${if def:h_Subject: {Autoreply: $h_Subject:} {Autoreply Message}}”
As you can see they are no where near line: 46.

And I really don’t know what to do from here. I guess I can try commenting it out.
But as it stands right now, due to this faulty Exim and DirectAdmin configuration, I am not able to send or receive emails from the box.

Quick update: Neal fixed it!
