At times, you might find it necessary to install MailScanner to enhance email scanning and spam filtration. It is important to note that while MailScanner can be utilized with cPanel, it is a third-party plugin not directly managed or supported by cPanel. Therefore, the assistance in troubleshooting may be limited.
Here is a procedure for installation-
- Access your server via SSH as root.
- Download the installer, extract it, and navigate into the directory-
wget https://download.configserver.com/msinstall.tar.gz
tar -xzf msinstall.tar.gz
cd msinstall/ - Follow the instructions provided in the INSTALL.txt file.
- Keep in mind that the script employs a stable version of MailScanner, which may not necessarily be the latest version from the developer.
- After installation, upgrade, or uninstallation, ensure that both MailScanner and Exim are functioning properly by monitoring their logs-
tail -f /var/log/maillog
tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog
This will allow you to observe any incoming and outgoing email activity and verify the correct operation of MailScanner and exim.
