Is it worth it? Can it be done? Would it help clients be happier? Suggestions are needed. On the INSTALL.txt it suggests disabling SpamAssasin. Is MailScanner better, why or why not?

Help is greatly appreciated.

I am kind of a beginner on general Linux issues/performance/security things but keep learning everyday by my own re-search.

I wanted to know if MailScanner with ClamAV is that serious on resource usage?

I currently run a Quad Core Xeon 2.4GHz with 4GB RAM. I am interested in installing this 2 products which I believe I could easily do and try to optimize them. Is it really that resource...

Just went into Exim Config Editor (cPanel 11.18.3-R21703). I noticed it did an update that couldn't continue because of custom ACL's. So I did what it told me to do (attached file) and now no e-mails are coming through. Any help\insight would be appreciated.

Since the exim.conf file is too large I uploaded it here:

Thanks.

Since a reboot this morning have been getting these emails every few minutes
I did a forced reinstall of both clamav and upcp but Clamav still wont stay running

I tried looking in logs for error but didnt find any detail

Any ideas ?

Hello,

is not working.
So please let us know the steps about install free mailscanner with cpanel.

Thank you.

I am getting a lot of spam messages showing up in Mailwatch that do not have any spam score assigned to them. It is like they are bypassing SpamAssassin entirely. When viewing the header information in Mailwatch, the only thing under the SpamAssassin section is this:

Action(s): store, deliver, header, X-Spam-Status:, No

No scoring, nothing else. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

Hi am getting this error in the Tail maillog

How can I resolve this?

When I run top in memory display mode and when I check the processor usage by day in WHM, mailnull is using about 45% of the memory at all times. mailnull has 4 running processes. Is there any way to cut down on the memory usage to free it up for other things?

I followed the technical faq to store messages, my days to keep is 30 , the quarantine folder has about ten days stored now, but mailwatch only shows me 1 day.

Where do I begin looking for this problem?

Hello

We are having customers complain that their attachments are being flagged as viruses. They are sending the new Office 2007 files (ie docx, xlsx pptx).

Is there a way around this? Where / what do I change to fix this?

Thank you.

I have a customer who has all of their email aliases forwarded to other external accounts such as Yahoo and Hotmail. This causes a problem as it has been forwarding {Spam?} and {DefinitelySpam?} email to these external accounts. Yahoo doesn't like my server anymore because to them it looks like my server is spamming theirs. Is there any specific way to allow email to get forwarded that doesn't...

Hi

We follow the suggestion about changing MailScanner virus scanner to clamd, but have the following problems:

Frist, clamd starts using about 32Mb, but sometimes, don't know why, rises up to 150mb ... and suddenly stops working.

Cpanel doesn't monitor clamd unless clamvconnect is intalled, which breaks MailScanner. We installed one of the routines that comes with ClamAV to monitor clamd, but...

When I typed # pico /etc/rc.local under shell, I don't see any MailScanner entry. How do I make sure that MailScanner will automatically start up upon server reboot?

Hello,

I was using the nice MailScanner setup for cPanel on my Fedora Core 4 server.
It was working fine for 4 months until yesterday.

Please help.

Thanks

Is it posible to install MailWatch without MailScanner ?

Hello,

After the update of mailscanner this morning, I see this message in the Front-end:

MailScanner Status: Stopped!

And it's impossible to restart it. All the email is in the queue of the server but not delivered.

What can I do to restart the mailscanner?

also, when I click on Access MailWatch, I receive this error:

Happy New Year Folks:

When I reached the part where I had to check if the latest version of the clamavmodule is installed (by issuing the following command):

Hello,

Local emails sent from one user mail account to another mail account on the same server (whether the same domain or another domain but still local to that server) are not arriving in the destination mailbox.

I can see the mail entries arriving in exim_mainlog, but after that there is nothing at all, no failure, no error, nothing arrives at all. Its been like this for a week or so now...

mail from my server is getting caught by spamasssin URIBL_SBL but in checking the ip address is not listed on ANY spam or relay site

Any ideas on where else to look for cause of this false positive ?
Its ironic that this email in question was private message notice from site on my server to me
