Our don't.  Ours use "FAIL" as the default catchall email behavior for a 
new domain.  And always has.  I just checked on one of my boxes, making 
sure it was updated to the latest version first.

It doesn't set a catchall unless I tell it to.

Exim is the most configurable mailserver I've ever seen, and we've been 
able to use it to create great spamblocking and spam and virus 
filtering tools.

Admin | Status of Services

Then just click on Stop, Start, Restart, or Reload; these are available 
for Apache, DirectAdmin server itself (be careful; you could lock 
yourself out of the Control Panel), Exim, MySQL, Named (bind), ProFTPd, 
sshd, and vm-Pop3d.

Looks pretty simple to me, and works perfectly.

Not true at all; I don't know where you got that idea.  Official support 
is through email at their support address.  The Forum is a self-help 
group where they occasionally log on and read and help.

Yes, they move your post, tell you so you won't make the mistake again, 
and answer your questions.

Sounds fair to me <smile>.

We're happy with the product, the company, and the price, and we offer 
aftermarket tools and administration services for it.
