Installation.<\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. If you have the cPanel\u00a0Clamavconnector<\/strong>\u00a0installed (WHM > Add-on Modules)\u00a0remove it<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 it will break MailScanner<\/li>\n
  2. Login to your root account on your server via SSH<\/li>\n
  3. Download the package, expand it and go into it:<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0wget\u00a0http:\/\/www.configserver.com\/free\/msinstall.tar.gz<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0tar -xzf msinstall.tar.gz<\/li>\n
  6. \u00a0cd msinstall<\/li>\n
  7. Follow the instructions in the README.txt and INSTALL.txt files in the package<\/li>\n
  8. Please note that the script currently is configured to download the latest MailScanner at the time of writing. If you want a different version, edit msinstall.pl and modify the $mailscanner variable appropriately<\/li>\n
  9. Once installed\/upgraded\/uninstalled make sure that both MailScanner is running correctly and that exim is sending and receiving emails (you should use 2 separate SSH windows to do this):\u00a0tail -f \/var\/log\/maillog tail -f \/var\/log\/exim_mainlog<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Uninstallation<\/h1>\n

    1. Remove MailScanner and the MailScanner Front-End:<\/p>\n

    cd \/usr\/mscpanel\nsh uninstall.msfe.sh\n\ncd \/root\nwget http:\/\/www.configserver.com\/free\/msinstall.tar.gz\ntar -xzf msinstall.tar.gz\ncd msinstall\/\nsh uninstall.sh<\/pre>\n
    2. To remove the MailScanner Configuration icon from cPanel, go to WHM > Packages > Feature Manager. Edit the \u201cdisabled\u201d Feature List and uncheck the box for MailScanner Configuration. 3. Remove the root cron jobs that run mscpanel.pl and sa_rules.sh (or rules_du_jour):<\/p>\n
    crontab -e<\/pre>\n
    4. Remove the following lines from \/scripts\/postupcp:<\/p>\n
    #!\/bin\/sh\nperl \/usr\/mscpanel\/mscheck.pl<\/pre>\n
    5. Reset Exim Configuration (if desired), in WHM > Exim Configuration Editor > Reset All Configs to Defaults. 6. If you want to re-enable SpamAssassin through cPanel: WHM > Tweak Settings > SpamAssassin > tick WHM > Service Manager > spamd > tick both boxes WHM > Feature Manager > Edit a Feature List > disabled > Edit > SpamAssassin and SpamAssassin Spam Box > tick WHM > Feature Manager > Edit Feature List \u2013 edit any feature lists that you want to allow access to the SpamAssassin configuration in cPanel<\/p>\n
    Temporarly Disable\/Enable Mailscanner<\/h1>\n
    \u00a0in\u00a0Cpanel server<\/h1>\n
    The simplest way to disable it is to do the following:<\/p>\n
    rm -fv \/etc\/exim_outgoing.conf\n\/scripts\/buildeximconf\nservice exim restart<\/pre>\n
    MailScanner will still be running, but won\u2019t be involved in email delivery. If you also want to stop it running, go to WHM > Service Configuration > Service Manager and uncheck both boxes for MailScanner. Then login via SSH and do:<\/p>\n
    service MailScanner stop<\/pre>\n
    You do need to do the first steps above to disable MailScanner before stopping the service, otherwise no mail will be delivered at all.\u00a0Important:<\/strong>\u00a0Before disabling MailScanner, you should check to see if there are any mails waiting to be processed by MailScanner. If there are and you disable MailScanner, the waiting emails will\u00a0not<\/em>\u00a0be processed by exim until MailScanner is re-enabled. To find out if there are mails waiting (do thisbefore<\/em>\u00a0disabling MailScanner), in root SSH enter:<\/p>\n
    exim -bpc<\/pre>\n
    You can contact us via the\u00a0helpdesk<\/a>\u00a0if you need help after you\u2019ve disabled MailScanner. To re-enable it:<\/p>\n
    touch \/etc\/exim_outgoing.conf\n\/scripts\/buildeximconf\n\/scripts\/mailscannerupdate\nservice exim restart\n\/usr\/mscpanel\/mscheck.pl<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
