New csf v2.84

Changes:

  • Fixed problem with permanent LF blocks in lfd for individual application port blocks when set to permanent
  • Added new SYSLOG option to csf.conf to allow additional lfd logging to SYSLOG (requires perl module Sys::Syslog)
  • Added a minimum to LF_DSHIELD and LF_SPAMHAUS ip block lists refresh interval of 3600 to prevent getting yourself blocked!

New ClamAV v0.91

A new version of ClamAV has been released. The update adds a bunch of new features to ClamAV, but most importantly for MailScanner users, fixes a bug which caused the MailScanner child processes to consume large amount of server resources on startup.Upgrade:

New csf v2.82

Changes:

  • Fixed a documentation for LF_TRIGGER_PERM
  • Fixed issue where RT_[relay]_ALERT set to “0” was being ignored
  • Fixed condition from v2.80 which prevented SCRIPT_ALERT from working
  • If killproc.conf does not exist the Server Check now links to the Background Process Killer page instead of issuing a file missing error

New csf v2.81

Changes:

  • Added exe:/usr/local/cpanel/cpdavd to csf.pignore
  • Added option to disable refresh in WHM csf UI when viewing lfd.log
  • Removed debug code that prevented IP blocking — oops

New csf v2.80

Changes:

  • Added new lfd feature – Relay Tracking. This allows you to track email that is relayed through the server (cPanel only). It tracks general email sent into the server, email sent out after POP before SMTP and SMTP_AUTH authentication, local email sent from the server (e.g. web scripts). There are also options to send alerts and block IP addresses if the number of emails relayed per hour exceeds configured limits. The blocks can be either permanent or temporary. Currently blocking does not function for LOCALRELAY email.
  • Introduced a new blocking mechanism in lfd that allows a choice of permanent or temporary IP blocking. See csf.conf (LF_TRIGGER_PERM) for details on how to configure the various blocking options to use temporary instead of permanent blocks, e.g. for Login Failure blocking
  • Modified new installations to default to using seperate triggers for login failures, instead of the global LF_TRIGGER value
