Server Software and Configuration Services
MailScanner Poll – Please Vote
We’re considering an alternative method for configuring MailScanner on cPanel servers, possibly in addition to the current method, or as a replacement.The new method only scans incoming email. Outgoing email from the server is passed directly through exim (as if MailScanner were not installed) and can offer significant improvements to server performance, especially for those that host large mailing lists.The current default when installing MailScanner using our script is to only scan incoming email anyway, but all email mst still pass through MailScanner whether it is scanned or not.It would help us decide whether to pursue this (we will have to get cPanel to make a configuration option change for exim to do this) if you could vote in this poll:
Which email direction do you prefer MailScanner to scan emails (for spam and/or viruses)?
| Option | Votes | % |
|---|---|---|
| Incoming emails only (current default)? | 111 | 72.5 |
| Incoming and Outgoing emails? | 42 | 27.5 |
