ConfigServer Scripts on cPanel v92 and CentOS v8

For those venturing into the new world of cPanel v92 in the EDGE tier on CentOS v8.2, our initial tests show that all of our scripts and products install and work as expected.

We had already done extensive work on CentOS v8 with csf, cxs and MailScanner to ensure they work in this new OS iteration (mostly on DirectAdmin) and the cPanel environment continues to provide for the resources needed to make installation, configuration and functionality straightforward.

New cxs v12.04

Changes:

  • Fixed end user UI Bulk Actions where only the first item was reported
  • Modified end user UI Bulk Actions to disable items that are no longer in quarantine

New csf v14.04

Changes:

  • Added two new options: CC_MESSENGER_ALLOW, CC_MESSENGER_DENY. These options can control which Country Code IP blocks are redirected to the MESSENGER service, if it is enabled
