Need a new server

Host For Web has done it again.

The allowed an upgrade from cpanel to be applied to my VPS without my knowledge or permission. The resulting failure of the email system is causing distress to my company as web form emails that must be delivered are now being bounced because of some oddball error.

This is the second major failure of HFW for me, the first being a completely botched backup restore that still causes me trouble more than a year after the fact.

I am getting the following error on all outgoing email from all my accounts

Gid 510 is not permitted to relay mail, or has directly called /usr/sbin/exim instead of /usr/sbin/sendmail.

 

I have never even seen that error before. What the hell is it?

Update....

Seems the Cpanel upgrade broke a whole lot of stuff on a whole lot of servers today. There's supposedly a fix that has already been generated and HFW is applying it to my VPS right now. We will see how that works and post back here.

There still remains the question however as to why HFW allowed an upgrade (or any changes, for that matter) to my VPS without my knowledge or permission.

Yell

On a VPS you should have total control over when Cpanel/WHM upgrades.

 

Its under WHM -> Server Configuration -> Update Preferences

 

Did you have all the different sections set to "Update Never"?

You would think that's the case.

Not with HFW.

I'm in the middle of moving my business to a new location. Once I get done with that and we're all settled in, I am probably going to sever my contract with them. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

The fix they applied seems to have corrected the email problem but the fact that the update was applied without my permission still exists.
