MailScanner Front-End Installation Instructions for cPanel

To install MailScanner and the MailScanner Front-End for the first
time on a server, or to re-install the basic parts of the MailScanner
package you can do the following steps. Be sure to carefully follow all
the instructions given for each step.

1. Install MailScanner: https://configserver.com/free-cpanel-mailscanner-installer/

2. Install/configure Razor and DCC. Run these commands in ssh as root:

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/532/bin/razor-admin -create
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/532/bin/razor-admin -register
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/536/bin/razor-admin -create
/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/perl/536/bin/razor-admin -register

cd /usr/src/
wget https://www.dcc-servers.net/dcc/source/dcc.tar.Z
tar -xzf dcc.tar.Z
cd dcc-*/
./configure --disable-dccm
make
make install
sed -i "s/DCCM_LOGDIR=\"log\"/DCCM_LOGDIR=\"\"/" /var/dcc/dcc_conf
cdcc 'info -N'
cd ..
/bin/rm -Rf dcc-* dcc.tar.Z

(Note: You will get errors for two of the razor-admin commands because only one set of commands will work.)

Ensure that the following ports are open in any software or hardware firewalls:

DCC - out-bound UDP port 6277
DCC - out-bound TCP port 587 (for reporting spam)
Razor - out-bound TCP port 2703

3. If you have purchased the MailScanner Front-End, you can install it following the instructions here:
https://configserver.com/msfe-script-installer/

Note: If you have moved to a new server since purchasing the
MailScanner Front-End, or your server IP address has changed, you should
first change your licensed IP address here before trying to install MSFE on the new server or IP address:
https://license.configserver.com/cgi-bin/msfe/modify.cgi

4. Go to WHM > ConfigServer MailScanner FE > MailScanner Configuration and make the following changes:

a. Set "Virus Scanners = " to "clamd" if you have installed clamav
and wish to use the clamd daemon (recommended) with MailScanner.

b. Search for "Clamd Socket = ". Make sure that value is set to "/var/clamd" and NOT "/tmp/clamd.socket".

c. You may also wish to set "Spam List = " to an empty field if you are using the RBL blocking in exim (see step 6 below).

d. Set the "%org-name%", "%org-long-name%", and "%web-site%" to your
desired settings. Make sure the %org-name% includes ONLY alphanumeric
characters, that is, only letters and numbers, NO symbols such as _ or -
or even a .

e. Click "Change" at the bottom once you've made all the above changes.

5. Modify the WHM Exim Configuration Settings as recommended here.
