    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
    =============

    Regards

    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!
