FREE ASSP X (ASSP eXtended - WHM addon with cPanel interface)

I got a shiney new cpanel server coming soon, this will be one of the first things to install. Thanks for this! Might be worht updating your site a bit more (wiki?) at least a change log etc.

 

It's good to have another alternative.

Do you have some screenshots of the GUI of the ASSP X interface in cPanel?

 

Hello,

thanks for the release.

We have installed in a development server, and the installation have been correct. Soon probably we try to install in a production server to test if the application works well or if there are some troubles with the application or server´s load.

i´m surprised because there a huge list of options to avoid spam !!! , is there a guide or a recommended configuration ?

Regards.

 

What about getting a production server ready for installing ? On the paid version which is also on offer through this forum it is mentioned that all ACL's, Dictionary attack scripts etc etc be removed. There's no mention of that !

So do admin's on servers already tweaked for Spam remove Spam Assassin, Dictionary Attack, RBL's & have a virgin setup then install or does the installation script point this out for them ?

 

Another great addon from the threadstarter of php4 & php5 setup.

nice one ispro.

 

"We may think about adding the option to install recommended exim.conf (including exim.conf.local for further rebuilds). Do you feel it may be helpful?"

The default/recommended config files maybe a good way to good, backing up a servers copy & replacing it with a virgin copy would be a help it would also cut down on any problems relating to the exim config files.

"globally turn test mode On/Off via WHM interface"

Yep good idea & if after installation & testing the server admin decides it's not what they want when they uninstall the software does a rollback & everythings back to what i was prior to the install.

 

Thanks for your great script! we hvae install it and work really good but we have see that ASSP disable the "default address" in Cpanel is there any way to enable it again because we have a lot of customer that use it

thanks

 

thanks for your great script! i was one of the first to use it and to recommend to others to use and it's really a lot of help especially on the config side.

anyway, one thing is noticed is that when the script upgrades, it wipes out my previous assp.cfg. Could you please do a check if variables are not default, to skip changing them? this would be a great help as i wouldn't have to modify the config everytime it updates.

thanks again and more power to people like you!

edit:

btw, rvskin installs an asspdeluxe synlink to ...frontend/x/asspdeluxe. your script is names the folder asspx. rvskin thinks assp is not installed. how do i get rvskin to think assp is actually installed? i already tried a symlink for ...frontend/rv(whatevercolr)/asspdeluxe to .../frontend/x/asspx but rvskin still thinks assp is not installed.

update:

okay, although rvskin (in rvskin manager) thinks assp is not installed, in reality, the asspx link is indeed placed in the email management menu though not in the home page.

anyway, one other thing i noticed is that even if an account is included in the spam lover list, it still shows as "enabled" in the cpanel interface. clicking on "disable" in the cpanel interface shows the confirmation that the account is disabled (and it is indeed disabled as the account is added to the particular spam lover list) but it still shows as "enabled" in the cpanel interface. please have this status display fixed as this might confuse the user.

thanks.

 

i manually added some clients (in the form @domain.com on its own line in rules/RULE_spam_lover) via the assp interface (domain.com:55555) but it shows as enabled in the cpanel interface.

i also added some clients (in the form @domain1.com|@domain2.com|etc) in the unprocessed addresses list via the assp interface but the domain's assp cpanel interface still shows as "enabled" for all filters.

just a heads up

Code:

# Redirect MTA to port 125 to enable ASSP
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1.125

Code:

==> /var/log/exim_mainlog <==
2007-03-17 14:44:28 exim 4.63 daemon started: pid=22202, -q1h, listening for SMTP on [127.0.0.1]:125
2007-03-17 14:44:28 Start queue run: pid=22203
2007-03-17 14:44:28 End queue run: pid=22203
2007-03-17 14:44:28 socket bind() to port 125 for address 127.0.0.1 failed: Address already in use: waiting 30s before trying again (9 more tries)

Code:

# Redirect MTA to port 125 to enable ASSP
local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1
daemon_smtp_ports = 125

Code:

2007-03-17 14:55:35 exim 4.63 daemon started: pid=23367, -q1h, listening for SMTP on [127.0.0.1]:125
2007-03-17 14:55:35 Start queue run: pid=23368
2007-03-17 14:55:35 End queue run: pid=23368

cpanel starts 2 versions of exim. one with ssl and one without. so we need to change only the smtp version. please update your addon to reflect the proper way configuring exim.
