MailScanner

New MailScanner Script v2.79

Changes:

  • Due to a critical vulnerability in exim cPanel have disabled the option -D in the exim binary that MailScanner Incoming Only scanning uses. This means that that method can no longer be used at this time and all MailScanner implementations that use this installer need to switch to In/Out scanning (the default install). This update forces that switch.
  • An alternative to upgrading is to simply run:/usr/mscpanel/msswitch.pl inout
  • Regardless of whether you are running either In Only or In/OUT scanning ALL clients should ensure that they are running the latest version of cPanels exim implementation either by running /scripts/upcp or /scripts/eximup
