Hello,

While it's possible to change the mailman URL, it's important to note that no native feature exists to preserve these types of changes. cPanel updates call "/scripts/resetmailmanurls", which reverts the custom changes. I suggest voting and adding feedback to the following feature request if you want to see a change in this behavior:

MailMan - Make it configurable on a site basis, not server wide ( PCI-DSS Compliance )

In the meantime, you can use hooks to disable "/scripts/resetmailmanurls" during the cPanel update process. Here's one example of doing this:

Code:

touch /root/preupcpscript.sh
touch /root/postupcpscript.sh
chmod 0755 /root/preupcpscript.sh
chmod 0755 /root/postupcpscript.sh

Then, edit these files to match the following contents (Note the vi command is in code tags, but not part of the actual script):

Code:

vi /root/preupcpscript.sh
#!/bin/sh
chmod 0000 /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/resetmailmanurls
chattr +i /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/resetmailmanurls

Code:

vi /root/postupcpscript.sh
#!/bin/sh
chattr -i /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/resetmailmanurls
chmod 0755 /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/resetmailmanurls

Next, run the following commands to enable these scripts:

Code:

/usr/local/cpanel/bin/manage_hooks add script /root/preupcpscript.sh --manual --category System --event upcp --stage pre
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/manage_hooks add script /root/postupcpscript.sh --manual --category System --event upcp --stage post

Keep in mind this will result in an error message during the upcp process when it tries to run "/scripts/resetmailmanurls", but the update itself will still proceed.

Thank you.

 

We've recently made some changes to how we handle feature requests to help address concerns like this:

Please dedicate more cPanel staff to discuss things here in the Feature Request system

Thank you.

 

Could you provide an example of how you are accessing Mailman over the insecure URL? For instance, is it directly through the cPanel interface over port 2082?

Thank you.
