Hello ,

Whenever I try to test the filter setup from the cPanel I am getting the following error on the cPanel "exim: failed to open /etc/vfilters/DOMAIN: No such file or directory"

Following error is reported in /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log file

Thank you

Please check if the file exists first:

ls -lah /etc/vfilters/domain.com

If the file is missing, please create the file:

touch /etc/vfilters/domain.com
chown user:mail /etc/vfilters/domain.com

Please replace domain.com with the domain name and user with the cPanel username.

If the file is not missing, check if the ownership is properly user:mail for the file.

File is there and permission and ownership are also correct.

ls -alh
-rw-r--r-- 1 test123 mail 0 Nov 17 18:41 /etc/vfilters/test123.com

 

[cPanelTristan]

Please run the following additional commands:

lsattr /etc/vfilters
ls -ld /etc/vfilters

 

[pratapsingh]

Here is the output

ls -ld /etc/vfilters
drwx--x--x 2 root root 81920 Nov 17 21:59 /etc/vfilters/

lsattr /etc/vfilters/test123.com
-------A----- /etc/vfilters/test123.com

At this point, please open a ticket as I cannot see anything that would prevent the file from being opened or detected. You can open a ticket using the link in my signature or using WHM > Support Center > Contact cPanel.
