Re: alert.txt emails not being sent/arriving

Check the file ownership, group, and permissions for all of the /usr/local/csf/tpl/*.txt files. Mine on CentOS are owner: root, group: root, permissions: 600. It is possible that with incorrect settings on the alert.txt file that CSF cannot generate the email. Run the /etc/csf/csftest.pl python test...

Re: MaxMind DB must be HTTPS starting October

I have also received the https:// reminder email on 10/13/2023 from Team at Maxmind. I had updated to CSF 14.20 on 10/05/2023. I am guessing that the Maxmind folks used a logfile that reached before my upgrade date of 10/05/2023 to generate their reminder email. I have taken a look at the lines 336 ...

Re: CSF blocking an IP because of Exim syntax errors

Your mention of WHM tells me that you have cPanel on your server. Need to know to steer you further. You did not elaborate on who or what the blocked IP's are to your host with CSF but I am guessing that the following will get you on the right road. From my experience with web/email clients; when th...

Re: How to send alerts via authenticated SMTP?

You may wish to start with the documentation: https://download.configserver.com/csf/readme.txt . My understanding is that CSF uses the host linux 'sendmail' command to send email; thus it is your host server email setup where your authentication must take place or bypassing authentication for CSF. Y...

Re: CSF blocking an IP because of Exim syntax errors

You need to provide a snippet of the log showing where the EXIM syntax error / blocking is occurring. I suspect that the client connection is NOT being blocked, but is failing due to EXIM syntax errors. Without logs there is no helping you. If the issue is truly EXIM syntax error, then your client m...

Re: MaxMind DB must be HTTPS starting October

It also appears that in addition to the /usr/local/csf/lib/ConfigServer/Config.pm changes from http:// to https://; you will need to update your csf.blocklists file in the same way for the MaxMind entry.

Sergio,
Thank you. I never thought to code the line with a regex [74|80|81].
I will take it as my birthday present today, 21-Aug.

Re: How to ignore wp-toolkit process?

If you have more than 1 version of PHP running on your server, you will need a version specific rule for each version.
