Disable spamassasin globally via shell.

[soumya.tr]

Hi,

I have to disable spamassasine globally in many cpanel servers. I followed the below given steps:

1. Removed file /etc/global_spamassassin_enable [this itself sets the option '"WHM >> exim configuration editor >>
SpamAssassin™: Forced Global ON [?]{Turn on SpamAssassin™ for all accounts (i.e. with no option to disable)}' to OFF.

2. Changed the parameter globalspamassassin to 0 in /etc/exim.conf.localopts.

Is these steps fine? Should I have to do any other step [like rebuilding eximconf using /scripts/buildeximconf or restarting service exim ]?

Thanks in advance.

You can disable SpamAssassin for your entire server by following the below steps:

[1] Login to your WHM.
[2] Go to Tweak Settings.
[3] Uncheck SpamAssassin Spam Filter option and save it.

If you are not using SpamAssassin in your server, you can also disable SpamAssassin service. To disable it:

[1] In WHM -> Go to Service Manager.
[2] Uncheck Enabled and Monitor option for spamd.

Regards

@arvin_webzias : Thanks.

But is there any way to do this via shell? As I have the change to be made in a lot of servers, and was planning to do via a shell script.

Hello,

Try this one.

=============
sed -i 's/skipspamassassin=0/skipspamassassin=1/' /var/cpanel/cpanel.config
/etc/init.d/cpanel restart
=============

Howdy,

@arvin_webzias is correct skipspamassassin=1 in your cpanel.config and /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/bin/whostmgr2 --updatetweaksettings will fix you right up.

Thanks!
