Re: cxswatch starting... Seems to be stuck on. Produces loa

Here's what I've got in the configure cxs section: /usr/sbin/cxs --Wstart --allusers --www --smtp -Q /home/quarantine --qoptions Mv --mail root --Wmaxchild 3 --Wloglevel 0 --Wsleep 3 --filemax 0 I take it that the "cxswatch starting..." may run for a while, during a scan of all the accounts?

quick question about enabling SpamAssassin, will it conflict

Hi, If I enabled Spamassassin via TweakSettings in WHM, would this cause errors in any of your utilities: mailscanner, scf, cxf and so on? The reason I ask, the new version of cPanel now includes new rule features in cPanel ---> User Level and Account Level filtering. These new rule features are cal...

Update, yes, I've found that this logging can be switched off using "category security { null; };", but I would rather not switch off general security logging for named. Does anyone know of a way to switch off just and only the "query (cache)" logging? By the way, such queries ar...

Re: Big Pending Queue (668640 emails)

Nevermind, I just used the regular WHM Mail queue manager tool, and deleted the whole mess that way.

Thanks.
