Hi, Sarah.
When a search is made in MailControl some times if the REGEX used has some error, MailControl shows the following message
:
MySQL Error:

and after that there is nothing you can do to return to work, is like the search is not wiped out and continues in memory even if you close MailControl to start it over and the only way is to close the browser in order to start using MailControl...

is there any way for mail control to export reports
it would be very useful if there was someway to export reports about malware & spam. Particularly offending IPs & email addresses associated with them. That can be more easily submitted to blocklists

I suppose what I am looking for is something like use the bulk option. Select the entries I want & export to excel or access or even plain txt...

After a week, i'm finally getting to grips with MS and spam assisin, however, could anyone suggest a custom SA rule to score these.

We get a number of spam where the from field contains a valid user with = followed by domainand @

eg: anyword-user=mydomain.co.uk@spammersdomain.com

Basically I'm looking to add a score if the 'from field' contains the exact phrase ' =mydomain.co.uk@ '

Hi,

We currently have between 15-20 shared hosting server using cPanel (With CSF, MailScanner FE, etc...)

In order to ease up the maintenance on our servers we are using Puppet. So far, we can manage pretty much every feature from cPanel. But for MailScanner FE, it's a little bit harder!

We can modify the /usr/mscpanel/msconfig.txt configuration file, but once this file is modify, the rules...

I am in the process of changing my server hostname from a .COM to a .NET. In my ConfigServer MailScanner Front-End, it has the .COM in both the %org-long-name% and %web-site%. My .COM is still my organization website as the .NET has no website. Should I leave this as is or change to the .NET?

Sarah Michaelson suggested moving this discussion here from the MailScanner Discussion list.

You don't actually edit the rules files via the front-end. Where to find it in the front-end depends on exactly what you want to do. Since this is not actually a MailScanner issue or question it seems better to take this discussion to our helpdesk or forum, where we would be happy to help....

I'm seeing this error when doing a MailScanner lint test. (mailscanner nor SA)
Is it important and if so, how do I fix it.

ERROR: The envelope_sender_header in your spamassassin.conf
ERROR: is not correct, it should match X-cPanel-MailScanner-From

I'm seeing some spammy type emails being delivered where the headers are stating 'Not Spam - Too Large'
How do I fix this ?

max message size rules shows: FromOrTo: default 0

Hey Guys,
Just a feature request to be able to set options at 'mailbox level'. So for the most part, we use global account settings that work fine. However, some users/mailboxes require more strict, or more lax low and high spam control settings.
Whether it be end users that want more flexibility in control, or generic mailboxes (sales@ / support@) that need it - I'm sure you can see the benefit...

I'm running Exim on CentOS with pop3 mail boxes.
If I try to open an email via WHM 'Mail Delivery Reports' after the user has downloaded it, it fails, as the message no longer exists.

However, I can still open the message via MSFE 'MailControl'
Does MSFE store email messages after theyv'e been downloaded from a pop3 mailbox. ?

Is there anything in place to stop the server clogging up. ?

I want to change a few SpamAssisin scores,
I take it that I need to modify /usr/mailscanner/etc/spamassasin.conf and then reload and restart MSFE ?

Hi, Sarah.

Is there a way to set Mail Control to warn (sent an email) when an account sends more than an amount of emails defined in a day, like a cron to run every X hours a day?

I know that we can set the emails per hour, but if an email account is compromised and the email sends less than the emails per hour and sends all day it could send thousands of email in a day and will be great to...

Hello,

We a problem with the default settings found in filename.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf, they're simply ignored.
for example the .exe filename rule is set to deny, and yet .exe file still pass through the filename.rules.rules point to the correct filename.rules.conf same goes for filetype.rules.rules , we tried commenting/uncommenting to see if there's a difference, restarting...

I installed MSFE last week, so I'm watching the logs and activity avidly.
Today, an email was passed to the end user, which I suspect contains multiple virus.

It contained a number of compressed ACE files, which upon investigation both contain EXE's.
I've now added ACE to the list of zip files in MSFE config.

However, worryingly, it also passed a PDF file, which upon investigation also has...

Is it possible to whitelist a file type ?

Customer sent a remittance advice to our sales dept as a HTML file.
For security purposes, our internal firewall locks these files, so that they can't be opened without prior investigation.
It gives it a file name ending clk.. eg filename.clk

The sales department, forwarded this email (with the locked file) to our accounts team.
MSFE now detects the...

Since the update to 8.07 to
•Modified HTML to cater for major change in cPanel v66
I am more than slightly unhappy with the layout of mail control pages
It now only takes up a small portion of the page and lots of subject lines & email addresses are truncated
can it be amended to be a 100% table not an arbitrary px size for the table which makes it quite hard to use properly

I recently updated MSFE to the latest version - v8.06 and now I'm getting a cPanel update failure:

W Exit Code: 3

Hi.
I hired configserver install service for all the scripts, including Mailscanner, a few months ago, but I just realized that the spam blacklisting is not working.

What I tested with several accounts and mail providers and confirmed was:
- If I insert an email address or a domain (using the proper syntax) in the Mailscanner Front-End > Server Spam Blacklist textarea, they are added to the...

Hi guys,

I had MailScanner installed and one client has complained that a pptx file has been removed from a legitimate email. Could somebody please tell me where the setting is to disable removal of suspected dangerous attachements, or can i setup a way for emails from that senders address to not filter the emails contents?

I have attached the txt file that was appended to the legitimate email...

Tried everything I can think of but can't get MailControl to log emails. Worked fine for months but after server reboot it stopped working. Everything with MailScanner seems to be working fine.

Thanks
