Hello,
I have whitelisted an email but it is still blocked by Mailscanner.
The document has several attachments but I don't usually have problems with pdfs.
Can anyone tell me the reason why it is blocked and unblock it?

Thank you!! :)

Mailscanner FE says it's working, but in taillog I see this:
May 24 19:59:22 host MailScanner: Failed to read configuration file /usr/mailscanner/etc/MailScanner.conf
Mail doesn't seem to be coming through since we updated an hour or so ago.

Would the above rule also block xlxs files.

Does the dollar sign act as a wildcard. ??

and if so, how would I deny xls but allow xlxs files

Hi, all, am having an intermittent issue with messages sent via an Azure client to external accounts.

The issue started after a recent WHM upgrade, but cPanel support is pointing to ConfigServer as possibly being the culprit.

The Azure client has an email account on the server, sending out messages on behalf of the domain with the email...

Hello
A bit related to

that was about winmail.dat files
I see now the creation of files like 20000.dat of 310000.dat in the

Hello.

We're facing an issue ever since cPanel/WHM update from v100 to v102 where SpamAssassin keeps marking domains with a DMARC record with KAM_REJECT_DMARC on every single outgoing mail. Currently we've mitigated the worst with a temporary score setting. This has its own obvious drawbacks.
Has anyone faced this issue? What was your solution? Ideally we'd like to keep outgoing spam filter, but...

I've been trying to stop a bot from sending email with a subject like:
(proper_name) some random porn sentence
by creating filters in cPanel>>Global Email Filters but I am seeing this error in my logs:

warn Encountered error
in Email::has_spam_as_acl: Email::has_spam_as_acl(1) failed: This feature
requires the “spamassassin” option and is not enabled on your account.

I seem to remember that...

I've created a couple of custom rules, and placed them in the user_prefs file, and also tried the /usr/mailscanner/etc/spamassassin.user.prefs.conf file, and none of my rules are getting triggered.

Is there a way that turns this functionality on/off?

An example rule might be:
header TT_TEST_BY_SUBJECT Subject =~ /SomeText/i
score TT_TEST_BY_SUBJECT -0.1

Please advise.

Hi all!

We're trying to allow .dbf file attachments but we've had no luck so far.

We tried allowing this file extension in:
- archives.filename.rules.conf;
- archives.filetype.rules.conf;
- filename.rules.conf;
- filetype.rules.conf;
with no success.

When trying to send a .dbf attachement we keep triggering this rule:
deny executable No executables No programs allowed

Accidentally deleted the email, is there any way to recover it or see the history?

Hello,

A few days ago I start getting bounce backs from emails i never sent so i log in to Cpanel to see what is happening.

I look in the Mail Control section and see all these emails generated from my server and all messages marked Blue indicating Not Scanned.

First thing I did was change email password but that did not help.
I created filters on theaccount that worked for a few minutes till...

Hello,

We've been having trouble with Mailscanner getting disabled every night for no apparent reason. Checking all the logs we can find returns no clues as to why it has been disabled.

Mailscanner is still running but shows as disabled within MSFE. Hitting the enable button returns:

mv: cannot stat '/usr/msfe/mailscannerq.conf.disable': No such file or directory
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl...

Good morning,

Is there any API or CLI command to disable MailScanner storing messages? At this time, I know only the way using MSFE > MailControl Performance.

Hi

We recently started getting errors similar to this:

ERROR: getpatch: Can't download daily-.cdiff from database.clamav.net
ERROR: Can't download daily.cvd from database.clamav.net

As far as I can tell it means ClamAV is out of date. I believer CLAMAV is required for mailscanner to work. I think (for us) clamAV was installed / set up with mailscanner installation by the configerver team when...

Under the menu 'search messages', enter in to a message and it's possible to read the contents.
As this is a serious privacy issue, is there any way to disable this ?

Every day I see 2-5 emails that are obviously spam, not getting tagged as such. I have those that are tagged deleted before I see them. This has only started happening the last couple weeks.

Not sure where to begin to troubleshoot this.

When Mailscanner FE is installed on a Centos 7 server with WHM/cpanel do global email filters at a cpanel account level still work? (they don't seem to).

I have a situation where mail TO a domain on the server is whitelisted in Mailscanner, and there are global filters at an cpanel account level for that domain, however mail that matches those filters is still delivered.

I am using cpanel with Mailscanner setup by WaytotheWeb (Sarah) spam filtering for a remote mail server.

The remote mail server is properly configured in localdomain and staticroutes.

Everything is working fine.

I need to temporarily hold all e-mail at the cpanel server while I make some changes to the remote mail server.

How can I hold all e-mail destined for this domain and prevent the mail...
