New cmm v2.03

Changes:

  • Removed legacy use of safeopen in cmm to fix blank page in Manage Mail Accounts

cxs v8.00 Coming Soon…

We have been working hard on the next major release of cxs. The focus this time is on the Graphical User Interface.

  • We’re introducing an all new cxs Setup Wizard for easy first-time configuration to help server admins setup cxs simply, quickly and effectively from the start.
  • We’re added a new cxs Command Wizard to help create effective scan commands for use in manual scans and cron jobs.
  • Manual scans via the UI now run detached from the control panel interface so that the need to keep the browser open is no longer required. You can come back at any time to view the status of the scan you have launched.
  • We’re adding a completely new quarantine interface via an SQLite database. This brings with it easy access to files placed in quarantine, wherever the quarantine directory. Those who have used our MailScanner Control UI will recognise that we’re using the same style of interface to interact with the quarantine and other files
  • We’re adding statistics to provide information at a glance as to what cxs has been doing
  • We’re adding reports stored within the same SQLite database
  • We’re adding the ability to re-run the new cxs Setup Wizard if you want a fresh start

We’re expecting to release this new version in the coming days. The changes made mean that the server requirements have changed.

cPanel installations will not need anything else installing as the environment already supports all of the requirements.

On other servers, the following will be required:

Installation of sqlite v3
Perl modules: DBI and DBD::SQLite

On RedHat and derivatives servers this can be done via yum:

 yum install sqlite
 yum install perl-DBI
 yum install perl-DBD-SQLite

On Debian servers using apt:

 apt-get install sqlite3
 apt-get install libdbi-perl
 apt-get install libdbd-sqlite3-perl

Note: cxs will not upgrade to v8.00 until the new perl modules are available
