How I Edited Webmail Template

[AdamAGB]

I wanted to make it so that when my clients logged into their webmail, it automatically went to their Neomail account (and skipped over the unbranded mail management screen).

After much agonizing, I found a solution, not sure if it'll work indefinitely, but it works now . It's kind of primitive, as I'm not a technie.

First, I logged into SSH as root.

Then, went to

/usr/local/cpanel/base/webmail/x/

Then edited header.html and footer.html

I deleted all the contents of both and in header.html just put a simple HTML meta refresh to

http://mydomain.com:2095/neomail/neomail.pl

This worked, but there were still a few annoying links that the user would see for a split second before being redirected. So, to fix that problem, I went to:

/usr/local/cpanel/base/

Then edited webmaillogin.cgi to delete the links and extra code.

Voila! Now, my clients can login directly to neomail and won't see any unbranded nonsense.

I hope this was useful to at least one person. I'm very pleased. ^_^

Dont forget to chattr +i the files you edited or the next cpanel update might overwrite what you have done.

If you don't want to edit the cgi file, you can put <!-- at the end of header.html and //--> at the first line of footer.html, so that all the contents in between them will not display.

thanks for that people - works well

one additional thing i did is went to /usr/local/cpanel/base/unprotected

and put Blank header.html and footer.html files to stop the unbranded cpanelX screen coming up if the login fails

and of course i chattr +i them
