How to enable SPF and DomainKeys by default?

[electric]

Hello,

Anyone know how to do this?

Both SPF and DomainKeys are disabled by default for new cpanel accounts, but we'd like them to be enabled.

Is there a reason they are disabled by default? (ie: Any "gotchas" or something that we should be concerned about or aware of?)

Thanks.

You can setup SPF records in the DNS zone templates from WHM, such that any new accounts created will have those included..

What are the DNS records supposed to look like that will work automatically?

Also, how do we switch "on" the checkboxes in the cpanel page so the customers sees these are enabled?

For the SPF record, you would add something like this in your DNs templates :

%domain%. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ptr ~all"

Now, for the Domainkeys, I think your best option would be to write a /scripts/postwwwacct that would grab the username of the account that is being created and run /usr/local/cpanel/bin/domain_keys_installer <<username>>

Hello.

I'm using a diferent Ip of hostname for shared IP.

Exim use Ip of hostname for sending messages, and DNS records point MX to shared IP.

It's confusing for DNS zones, and hotmail.com and anohter email systems, dont' work.

I use this on templates.
%domain%. IN TXT “v=spf1 a mx -all”

This put
domain.extension. IN TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX ?all"

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX it's primary IP forn netcard interface, and not IP for shared or dedicated hosting.

How can add IP for domain also tu DNS zone on templates?

Also if any solution for modify all records.

Thanks for help

Ok the SPF was easy, but I am stuck with the Domainkeys.

How do you "write a /scripts/postwwwacct that would grap the username of account that is being created and run /run/local/cpanel/bin/domain_keys_install <<username>>

I dont have a file called postwwwacct in my /scripts folder, I do however have a wwwacct file in the /scripts folder

Here is a way to turn all domain keys on... it writes stuff and deletes stuff with -rf, use at your own risk:

#!/bin/sh
cd /root
rm -rf users
mkdir users
cd users

ls -A /var/cpanel/users/ > users

for account in `cat /root/users/users`
do

echo "$account creating domainkeys.."
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/domain_keys_installer $account
echo done

done

The directory /root/users should not exist. (or if it does, it's toast.)

The cpanel script seems to be smart enough to ignore domains with domain keys already on, at least that is my experience.

Let me know if anyone sees a problem.

And if you modify the script a little bit you can also turn on SPF for all accounts:

#!/bin/sh
cd /root
rm -rf users
mkdir users
cd users

ls -A /var/cpanel/users/ > users

for account in `cat /root/users/users`
do

echo "$account Enabling SPF record.."
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer $account
echo done

done

Use at own risk of course.

Why doesn't cPanel have this as an easily enable/disable option in WHM?

i have added this code

#!/usr/bin/perl

my %OPTS = @ARGV;
$ENV{USER} = “$OPTS{’user’}”;
system q(/usr/local/cpanel/bin/domain_keys_installer $USER);
system q(/usr/local/cpanel/bin/spf_installer $USER);

then created new account but A new account doesn't add SPF & DK as per the code
