So Im going to start a new thread on this as its going off track but I used the GPL install script on fresh debain4 setup, no errors on set up, but I’m having some problems now with email. right now its spamassain
here is the gist:
=errors
this one seems continues I change it and it returns.
Virtualmin is configured to setup DNS zones, but this system is not setup to use itself as a DNS server. Either add 127.0.0.1 to the list of DNS servers, or turn off the BIND feature on the module config page.
constantly get this but in the Hostname and DNS Client, there are 3 boxes for DNS servers, each one has an ip 1) 64.62.190.9 2) 65.19.175.2 3) 65.19.176.2 every time i add 127.0.0.1 in and replace one of the others then go back to the Recheck Config selection it returns with the same error:
Virtualmin is configured to setup DNS zones, but this system is not setup to use itself as a DNS server. Either add 127.0.0.1 to the list of DNS servers, or turn off the BIND feature on the module config page.
on the SpamAssassin Mail Filter page this error:
SpamAssassin does not appear to be set up in the system’s Procmail configuration file /etc/procmailrc, so any configuration done using this module will have no effect unless users have it set up individually.
in /etc/procmailrc. this is all there is:

Nothing else
