How to allow some other extensions like .docx, .app and etc in the mailscanner?

I have followed this post to allow the .zip extensions to  in the mailscanner.

However, when I am trying to send email of my word doc and other files, that are being blocked by mailscanner. How to allow it?

Solution:-

You have two solutions to solve the issue.

Solution1:- Disable the SPAM scanner and virus scanner for that user alone via cPanel.
1) Go to cPanel > Emails > Mailscanner configuration.
2) Select the the domain name under SPAM and VIRUS option set it the options to "NO" and save the settings.

This will allow that domain to send emails with all the extensions.

Solution2:-


This is serverwide changes. Where the editing will reflect to all the domain in the server.

1) Login to the server with the root access
2) locate the file name "filename.rules.con"

in cPanel server it will be available in /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.con

3) vi /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.con
4) in that file, find the place which has specified "allow"
5) add the following syntax to allow the extension

allow \.docx$ - -

allow \.xlsx$ - -

allow \.app - -

allow \.x(ml)?\d{0,}\.rel$ - - 

Save the file and restart your mail scanner. Thats it. Your mailscanner will allow the specified extensions to all the domain in the server.

Note: When you add the syntax " allow \.docx$ - - ", you should use "TAB key" to leave a space between them. DO NOT use "spacebar" to leave the space. Beware!!!!! ;-)

Detect top 10 spammers in exim

Detect top 10 spammers in exim

Eximstats is a useful command to find spamming in the cpanel server. Execute the following command in your terminal

/usr/sbin/eximstats -t10 /var/log/exim_mainlog > teststats

The stats output will be appended to a file called "teststats". This have the following data.

(t10 is an option which shows the top 5 count)
The above command gives the following details:

* Top 10 local destinations by volume
* Top 10 local destinations by message count
* Top 10 sending hosts by volume
* Top 10 sending hosts by message count

and other stats such as total number of mails received and
delivered...top 10 sender (username) and many other data are available in that file.

You just need to vi to that file or less the file.

vi teststats or less teststats

You will get all the information in the spammer account and email id.
