ASSP Deluxe for cPanel

[alanho]

I've installed ASSP on a Cpanel server, but when I look at the /var/log/exim_mainlog I can see an error. This is a bit from the logs:

2006-12-23 23:38:10 exim 4.52 daemon started: pid=26150, -q1h, listening for SMTP on [127.0.0.1]:125
2006-12-23 23:38:10 Start queue run: pid=26151
2006-12-23 23:38:10 socket bind() to port 125 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (9 more tries)

As you can see it listens on port 125 for SMTP. But then it says port 125 is already in use. Now from what I've found, this is due to exim starting SMTPS which is supposed to be on port 465, but instead it tries to listen on port 125 again. Is anyone else seeing this in their logs?

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I had a similar issue when I first installed ASSP. The following solution worked for me.

The problem is some spam gets stuck in the mail queue and when the max number of messages held in queue is reached, exim fails with the error quoted above.

The solution is to look in the ASSP control panel under "Network Setup" for this option: SMTP Idle Timeout and set it to something like 120. This will give messages two minutes to get out or fail.

Also, have you set up the ASSP control panel with the correct ports? Under "Network Support" make sure SMTP Destination is set at 127.0.0.1:125 and the Listen Port is set at 25.

Don't forget to edit your exim config to add this:
# Redirect MTA to port 125 to enable ASSP
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1.125

This happens each time you stop and start assp service .

socket bind() to port 125 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (9 more tries)

After the 10 attempts the errors stops. It was discussed on assp mailing list too , and it does NOT cause any problem to assp and exim .Simply ignore this socket bind warning .

Thanks Radio_Head, that's what I missed, didn't find that in the mailing lists.

Also, where are whitelists and the other lists stored?

The problem I've got is file permissions. ASSP is running as the user nobody, but the files in /usr/local/assp/ are owned by root. So I've had to change some group ownerships to nobody so that they can be updated.

ASSP has been running overnight and there are some whitelisted email addresses, but I can't see exactly where it stores these email addresses. If I stop and start ASSP now, the whitelist starts from new again.

Does anyone have a complete list of files that we're supposed to create and also file permissions and ownership of all the files please?

One last error:

Dec-24-06 11:54:49 File::Scan::ClamAV module version 1.8 installed but not available, error: Cannot connect to 'localhost:3310': IO::Socket::INET: connect: Connection refused

Any ideas? I've turned off firewall and tried it and no luck.

Ok, fixed this one. Activated TCP socket in clamd.conf and disabled local socket.

After several testing I created assp deluxe for cpanel .

http://assp.bravehost.com

I'm running it succesfully on all my servers .

I cant understand how your running this successfully if the process runs as nobody yet your instruction mention nothing about changing the group setting on the files. If you leave as root:root there is no possible way to run ASSP as nobody.

I think you left out some important parts. The assp directory and all its files should be all chown -R root;nobody assp not to mention all the editable text files should be chmod 0660 too otherwise when you load the files from the ASSP interface you cant write to them.

Thanks

teddyb ,

login to assp web interface . Set assp to run

nobody nobody

save settings

then execute
# cd /usr/local/assp
# chgrp -R nobody *
# chown -R nobody *

then execute
# service assp restart

If you then use the permissions indicated on the how to you should not have problems.
I am monitoring assp log files and there are no permission errors .

[teddyb]

Thats what i did and thats how im running everyting but i have even a ASSP RESTART problem.

If i start assp then use the interface to change options in the config, the moment i re start assp then all change i made before i restart assp is back to the default settings so im loosing my changes. Not sure why. I dont have this issue on my freebsd boxes but i loose my config setting from the interface on my RH box.

I cant see why this is happening.

Another problem i found are with those report files

These files;

helpreport.txt redremovereport.txt spamreport.txt whitereport.txt
../ notspamreport.txt redreport.txt whiteremovereport.txt

Are in the /usr/local/assp directory as well as the /usr/local/assp/reports directory. So which ones do you use? By default it uese the files in the reports directory so that means there are report files in the /usr/local/assp directory that probably shouldnt be there.

teddyb i can assure you that using my files there is absolutely no problem.

ASSP Deluxe for Cpanel 1.1.0 is out .

[pctech4u]

I have followed all instructions and its all up and running on my server.

However, pretty much all e-mails are being rejected, whether valid or not.

Dec-29-06 12:30:20 123.456.7.8 <myusername@gmail.com> relay attempt blocked for: james@dslzoxxxx.xxx

etc. Is this normal? The e-mail I sent from gMail was plain text, no attachments, and included a subject.

Any help would be great.

do you have a licensed version of assp deluxe for cpanel ?
if yes , please email me at daniolo@gmail.com with your server ip.

[pctech4u]

Hi Radio_Head. Yes, I have alicense and you already added my server IP to your allow list yesterday.

I have fixed the problem, but now have another one:

Any emails sent to the following email address are being rejected with the message "No such user here".

The user however does exist (it’s a main cpanel account) and it appears that when the cronjob of "/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php /usr/local/assp/deluxe/ex_localdomains.php" runs it doesn’t seem to add frances@worlds-xxxxxx.co.uk" to the /usr/local/assp/deluxe/assp_local_email file.

If I add it manually it of course lets email get through to this person but on every cronjob run it removes it again.

Any idea's? I have over 60 cpanel accounts on this server and this one is the only one where it hasn’t added the main user to the assp_local_email file.

It does get the valiases for worlds-xxxxxx.co.uk though, and the work fine.

Any idea's?
