Hi,

I am new to tát direct admin and considering trying the direct admin panel. I lượt thích what I see. I need one question answered from anyone who knows this, or can test it out for u (probably most people reading this have a direct admin panel of their own).

The phác thảo on the directadmin.com site does not allow one to tát create gmail addresses (for good reason) I need to tát know what is the maximum number of characters allowed in a new gmail address created via direct admin panel? (for Linux and FreeBSD, same or different?)

Will an gmail tài khoản name / address lượt thích this be created?

here.is.a.super.long.email.address.that.is.really.really.looong@whateverdomain.com

Not an alias that just directs to tát a different shorter tài khoản, but a unique tài khoản that has its own pop3 login info and storage.

I am using cPanel on Fedora bộ vi xử lý Core 2 right now, and it uses exim, and the limit is at least 60 characters (maybe higher). But it goes through port 2082 and is extremely slow.

All of the cPanel access stuff is slow (sometimes a little slow, sometimes VERY slow), but the websites hosted on it are very fast. The direct admin phác thảo via port 2222 seems as fast as a regular trang web pages. So I assume gmail tài khoản creation is pretty snappy too?

Oh, and is there a whitelist (self/auto and manual whitelist) feature (like boxtrapper in cPanel)? I saw something about SpamBlock or something being release for DA, but not sure if that has whitelist that a user can self authorize (challenge / response) if I want to tát turn it on. I know, some people hate C/R.

Thanks to tát any/all who reply!

I'm not sure what the exact limit is, but the example you provided seemed to tát go in without any problems...

Mind if I ask why bởi you need an gmail address that long?

There are white and blacklists aswell :)
I dont' think it's on a per user basis though.

Thanks for the reply!

A client of mine has some long gmail addresses and I know some panels / mix ups restrict the length (like FreeBSD by itself only allows 16 char user names and those are also the gmail addresses - depending upon your mix up)

Did you send a test gmail to tát that tài khoản to tát after creating it, or just created it?

Mind if I ask how long it took for the gmail tài khoản to tát create from when you hit "go"? Like I said, on cPanel it is slow. Anywhere from 10 seconds, up to tát 45 seconds, depending upon??? server load? (yet normal front over trang web pages on the site are still very fast at the same time as the stuff in the cPanel admin is not)

So whitelists are not C/R created, lượt thích everything that is not already whitelisted gets a "Please reply to tát this gmail to tát show your a human and not spam"? That would be a nice optional setting, maybe. But some whitelisting is better than vãn none. :-)

Thanks again jmstacey!

DirectAdmin gmail names are NOT system usernames. System usernames are limited in both BSD and in Linux.

DirectAdmin runs quickly because it's a statically compiled C++ program; it's NOT based on scripts.
