Installing custom roundcube RPM in Cpanel version 58 and newer

[Miguel G]

I have found that the old way of installing the source tarball doesn´t work anymore in Cpanel version 58 or newer.

I have installed Cpanel version 60 and I have looked into this instructions:

How to Build and Install Custom RPMs - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation

but It only talks about customizing RPMs not where to download the source RPM for roundcube or how to install it and which version to use.

I don´t mind not to use the latest version, I actually just want to be able to mark emails as spam and not rely on the antispam script.

If it is easier to enable any plugin, please let me know how to do it.

Are you speaking of SpamAssassin?

 

[Miguel G]

Yes, it's activated. I know roundcube can have a button enabled to mark emails as spam

Where have you seen this?

 

[Miguel G]

I happen to have seen it in a webmail from a mail provider and they are using roundcube.

I attach a screenshot (It´s in Spanish, but the button is named SPAM)

Roundcube has a comprehensive library of plugins that are available from Roundcube Webmail Plugin Repository

I believe the screenshot you show, probably has one or more of these plugins deployed.

I do not know if they are compatible with, or can even be installed on, a cPanel deployment of Roundcube.

I would exercise extreme cation before attempting to deploy any of these plugins, including having full bare metal server backups to fall back on if it all goes wrong !

 

[Miguel G]

Yes, this plugin might probably be markasjunk and in fact it´s the list of plugins of my Cpanel installation.

However, I don´t understand why most of these plugins are not enabled and there are no instructions of how to enable them in a roundcube installation in Cpanel.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

 

[Miguel G]

Well, searching around I see I can that in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/roundcube/config/config.inc.php

I changed it from

$config['plugins'] = array('cpanellogin','cpanellogout');

to

$config['plugins'] = array('cpanellogin','cpanellogout','markasjunk');

This works as expected, but I assume this won´t work if Roundcube gets updated, am I right?

After a few days working, an autoupdate removed this configuration. Any way to make it permanent?

You could develop a script that makes the edit to the file and the set it to run via a post upcp hook:
