ConfigServer Community Forum

Turning up a new server and somewhat baffled by what is going on..The only thing i did was a cpanel update, however since i only use configserver tools for my anti-spam i am at a loss as to why i am getting these repeated errors on my server

2009-12-21 00:01:15 1NMaOR-0001K9-K0 spam acl condition: warning - spamd connection to 127.0.0.1, port 783 failed: Connection refused
2009-12-21 00:01:15 1NMaOR-0001K9-K0 spam acl condition: all spamd servers failed

I just bought the full mailscanner package on 12/2 ,and looking for some assistance.

1. Have you migrated any accounts to the server from another server where MailScanner was not installed? If so, you can run this command to disable spamassassin on those accounts which should stop this error: 2. If the above was not the issue, check the following:

• In WHM > Tweak Settings, make sure "SpamAssassin Spam Filter" is not ticked.
• In WHM > Service Configuartion > Service Manager, make sure both boxes for spamd are unticked.
• In WHM > Service Configuration > Exim Configuration Editor, make sure ALL options that include "SpamAssassinTM" are disabled.

Yes I did actually...I completely forgot to disable SA on those accounts prior to moving them..Thanks a ton...

Thanks again, I did not think it was something you did, but i could not figure it out..Thanks for the help as always..I will monitor the logs and keep you posted.

One last thing, upgraded to 11.25 last night and getting the following:
Trying to merge but want to do it right the first time.
cPanel was unable to automatically merge your Exim configuration with the new settings that shipped
with the build you have installed (11.25.0-RELEASE_42213) because you have a custom ACL configuration
which cannot be automatically configured.

To avoid any mail downtime, we thought it was best to leave
your previous configuration intact until the new configuration can be properly installed. In order to
complete this configuration update, you will need to manually merge your configuration with the new
configuration settings. Please follow the steps below to complete this update:

1. Enter the Advanced Configuration Editor
2. Notate any custom changes you have made in the ACL section.
You may also which to make a copy of /etc/exim.conf.local
and /etc/exim.conf.localopts as custom settings are contained in these files.
3. Click the 'Reset ACL Config to Defaults' button.
4. Reinstall your advanced custom settings.


Note: Until you manually complete this update, automatic spam filtering may have been rendered inoperable to
prevent any mail loss. (This generally only applied is you were upgrading from cPanel 10.x)

Current Config Version: 5.900000
New Config Version: 6.800000

Not sure why you should be getting this error, as we do not make any manual changes to the ACL configuration section of the exim configuration, so if there is anything in that section it was there before we did the MailScanner service package. In any case you should simply follow the instructions in the message. You might want to make a note of which options are ticked in the ACL Options section of the Standard Options, just in case it resets those as well, then you can replicate them after you reset the ACL configs to defaults.
