Cannot enabled features Accept mail for domain on Virtualmin

Hi everyone,

As the title says, I currently have a few small concerns with my Virtual Server being configured on Virtualmin.

Even though I have enabled the Mail for domain feature in Features and Plugins (as attached image below)

But when Edit Virtual Server, I don’t see any item named Accept mail for domain in Enabled features

And when I try to create a new Virtual Server, the Accept mail for domain feature can still be ticked

I tried restarting the server but still no success. Has anyone encountered this situation?

Sincerely and gratefully,

So you have previously created a VS with no mail and subsequently want to add mail?

I’m not sure about that, but usually when I create a new virtual server I leave everything as default even though I don’t use the email feature.

The important thing is that I have enabled the Mail for domain feature in Features and Plugins, but it still does not appear when modifying the virtual server.

@Joe Can you give me advice on this issue?

I don’t know. I don’t see any reason you wouldn’t have the option to enable it. Seems bug-like, maybe.

@Ilia any idea what’s happening here?

The only thing I can think of is that you’re trying to enable it for the domain name that matches the hostname.

However, the upcoming Virtualmin 7.30 release will have this option displayed to avoid confusion. Yet, still, it will fail when enabling mail feature for a domain name that matches the hostname.

This can only be overcome by using the Virtualmin CLI, though it’s not recommended.

It seems that you are guessing completely correctly, the server name with the virtual server is probably the same name and the problem happened without my knowledge.

Since I hadn’t used the Mail for Domain feature before, I didn’t notice this at all.

Many thanks!

Even though it might seem like I’m guessing, most of the time, I’m not.

You’re very welcome, and I apologize for the confusion.
