Using SSH
A user’s email is stored in a line email= of user.conf and ticket.conf . For admin it will be:
/usr/local/directadmin/data/users/poralix/admin/user.conf
To change do the following (as root in SSH):
cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/users/admin/ vi user.conf
Find a line beginning with email= and change it, save the file.
Do the same with ticket.conf.
That’s it.
