The option "WHM > Security Center > SMTP Tweak" is incompatible with this firewall

Post by romulob »

Hello,

Instead of showing the error message "Error: The option "WHM > Security Center > SMTP Tweak" is incompatible with this firewall. The option must be disabled in WHM and the SMTP_BLOCK alternative in csf used instead, at line 87", why not prompt a message asking if the user wants to disable it?

Once he confirms, just a "/scripts/smtpmailgidonly off" do the job.

Regards,

Romulo B.

On my WHM, this path dont exist: "WHM > Security Center > SMTP Tweak"

Only: Home »Security Center »SMTP Restrictions
"The SMTP restriction is enabled.", Disable?

When using WHM and clicking on a link, it will show a path that starts with: Home »

When someone is referring to a link within WHM they will use: WHM >

These mean exactly the same thing or same link to use:

WHM > Security Center > SMTP Tweak
and
Home »Security Center »SMTP Restrictions

So i need to disable "Home »Security Center »SMTP Restrictions" and in csf.conf keep enabled "SMTP_BLOCK = "1"" and "SMTP_ALLOWLOCAL = "1""?

WHM allows: "MTA, mailman, and root to connect to remote SMTP servers."

but CSF only mail, mailman, cpanel ....
# Always allow the following comma separated users and groups to bypass
# SMTP_BLOCK
#
# Note: root (UID:0) is always allowed
SMTP_ALLOWUSER = "cpanel"
SMTP_ALLOWGROUP = "mail,mailman"
so should i add root, MTA to csf? Isnt it security issue?
