This application provides a user front-end to a MailScanner
installation on cPanel and DirectAdmin. It consists of three parts:
- A front-end that becomes part of the Control Panel theme. This allows users to maintain their own settings,
via a script, that modifies a text file stored in their Control Panel
account. This allows users to configure:
- Per domain actions for two score levels for spam scanning
- Per domain actions for virus scanning
- Per Control Panel account whitelists and blacklists
- Per Control Panel account low and high score settings
- Per Control Panel account configurable forwarding email address for spam
- Control Panel users can have access to MailControl for their domains
- Control Panel users can view their emails in the global message store
- Control Panel users can search their emails in the global message store
- Control Panel users can release Spam, and optionally other emails, from the global message store
- Control Panel users can optionally tag emails as Spam or Ham
- Control Panel users can view Statistics related to their email
- Control Panel users can optionally perform Bulk actions on their emails
- A WHM front-end for server-wide management of
MailScanner:
- Enable/Disable per Control Panel account
access from within WHM
- Enable all Control Panel accounts access from
within WHM
- Configure MailScanner from within
WHM
- Configure front-end settings from
within WHM
- Server-wide Black and White spam lists
from within WHM
- MailControl access in WHM for statistical information, SpamAssassin learning and releasing of attachments from quarantine (Available with root WHM login only)
- Accessible only through root
access (i.e. no reseller access)
- A back-end script that checks the user files to see if
they have been modified. It then generates the appropriate
entries for their domain in the MailScanner ruleset files

- RHEL/CentOS/AlmaLinux/CL v8 OS support

Installation
The included installation service consists of:
-
MailScanner using our
installer
- ClamAV for MailScanner
- DCC to improve spam scoring
- MailScanner front-end for your Control Panel Users. Note that this replaces the SpamAssassin front-end in cPanel and DirectAdmin which has to be disabled
- ConfigServer Mail Queues - included, see here
- Access to MailControl from within WHM
- Modify ClamAV and MailScanner to use the clamd process, which reduces server load and speeds up mail scanning dramatically
- Configure SpamAssassin to use server-wide
bayesian filter database to increase
identification of spam. Disable cPanel and DirectAdmin SpamAssassin to
provide central control of mail scanning services
- Modification to MailScanner configuration to allow
you to offer a per domain email scanning
service for spam and/or viruses, together with per
domain actions for dealing with detected spam
- cPanel and DirectAdmin -> MailScanner sync script -
keeps your configured domains in sync with the
MailScanner rulesets, so that new domains are always
included and domains no longer hosted are removed
- The MailScanner Front-End Service includes one week
of informational support tickets where we are happy to
answer any questions you may have about the service and
configuring the package to suit your requirements. After
this time support is limited to the MailScanner
Front-End itself. We do not provide ongoing support for
MailScanner itself, SpamAssassin or ClamAV. In addition, we
can not provide any guarantee
of the suitability of MailScanner for your server or its
effectiveness in identifying spam on your server.
Purchasing
This service
is designed to help protect your users' mailboxes from
incoming
spam and viruses. If your problem is with outgoing spam being sent from your
server, please look at one of our other services, such as
cPanel Server
Service Package.
The MailScanner Front-End is a commercial product that is
sold and licensed on a per server basis. Unlike competing
products, it
is strictly a one-time per server
license purchase with updates for the life of the product,
all at a reasonable price!
A single
initial installation per MailScanner Front-End license
is included in purchase.
If you have any questions about the MailScanner package,
please feel free to contact us
and/or check the
Frequently Asked Questions.
Important Notes
- The cPanel front-end only works properly with skins that
correctly implement the cPanel theme API.
- The MailScanner Front-End for WHM is only available with
root WHM login.
- DirectAdmin OS support is only for CentOS v7, CloudLinux v7/8, AlmaLinux v8.
- DirectAdmin only supports the Exim name queues configuration.
- DirectAdmin modified exim.conf and exim filter templates for the SpamBox feature.
- While we do not support use of a remote MySQL server for
MailControl, an option is provided for a local SQLite database. A common database for multiple MailControl installations is not supported.
- While we endeavour to configure
MailScanner to be as efficient as
possible, the application inevitably uses
server resources. Due to this additional
load, we recommend caution when installing
MailScanner on a server which has less than 2GB
of memory as ClamAV itself uses nearly 1GB.
- cPanel will not provide support for email issues while
MailScanner is part of the mail delivery
system on a server. MailScanner can be
disabled if reporting email issues to
cPanel.
- The MailScanner Front-End Service can be performed
on dedicated servers and VPS's running supported releases of RHEL/CentOS/Ubuntu/AlmaLinux/CloudLinux
(Redhat v7, CentOS v7, Ubuntu v20.04 (cPanel only), CloudLinux v7/8, AlmaLinux v8).
- If you choose not to have us do the
installation, we provide instructions to self-install
MailScanner, clamav, and the MailScanner Front-End
here. The other configuration and plugins mentioned above
(under Installation) are not included with the MailScanner
Front-End itself.
