CPanel now ban .eml extensions. I recieve loads of these from worldwide clients who forward messages on from Outlook. Its essential I get these.... I know the attachment is useless but Outlook makes them and the message will fail....

Is there another control panel that allows this? Pleask perhaps??

Any advice guys??

Plesk doesn't block any extensions as far as I know. You would set them up yourself. I would also wholly recommend Plesk. :)

Stop using the antivirus.exim file or edit it if you need to allow those extensions. ;)

Agreed. Just edit the configuration file and take out the .eml extension and/or any other extension you do not want blocked.

you might have trouble if your only a reseller, I believe this needs to be done by root ... I will talk to one of my admins and get back to you,

as I see it, Plesk had one huge problem.....it needs the domain name to resolve in order to demo the 'new' website.....

I like to work like this....

I make the Website in the correct location and its live at www.mydomain.com/~accountname. Then when its finished and approved I point their domain name at my nameservers and violla :)
I tried a Plesk reseller account and I couldnt do this....I was told the domain HAD to resolve in order to view the site.

True???

Yes. However, you can add a section to your httpd.conf file to allow IP/~domain. You can search the sw-soft forums for the code.
