I was victim of the hacking that happened to vaserv.com. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/06/08/webhost_attack/ As a result all the vps's were reconfigured.. im not really sure what they did to mine but something had to be fixed on it. Now proftpd wont start Code: ryanmt@vps:/var/log$ sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd restart * Stopping ftp server proftpd [ OK ] * Starting ftp server proftpd - IPv4 getaddrinfo 'vps.axoc.co.uk' error: Name or service not known - warning: unable to determine IP address of 'vps.axoc.co.uk' - error: no valid servers configured - Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf' [fail] ryanmt@vps:/var/log$ and outgoing mail wont send. Mail.log Code: Jun 12 06:29:43 vps postfix/error[32391]: 6681E370671: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=21542, delays=21502/40/0/0.01, dsn=4.4.3, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: Host or domain name not found.

Name service error for name=gmail.com type=MX: Host not found, try again) What can cause this problem? Do i need to tell them to reconfigure something else on my vps? No configuration chances have been made and it has been working for a long time previously.
Edited my hosts file as it had been changed. ryanmt@vps:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/proftpd restart * Stopping ftp server proftpd [ OK ] * Starting ftp server proftpd vps.axoc.co.uk - 78.110.167.28:21 masquerading as 78.110.167.28 [ OK ] Is this the correct message, ive not seen the masquerading thing before hosts file - "78.110.167.28 vps.axoc.co.uk vps"
