Spam ltering is now done at SMTP time as an ACL, This prohibits subject rewrites from working. If•
rewrites are needed or wanted; then, you can enable the old spamassassin system within the Exim
Conguration Editor option “Use the old transport based spamassassin system instead of the new
acl style one”.Upgrade all Perl modules using /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules. You should verify that
•
Compress::Raw::Zlib and Scalar::Util have been updated.If you have any host restrictions on tcpwrappers, such as on denying all by default on hosts.deny,
•
you would need to add the following to hosts.allow:
cpaneld : ALL
 
whostmgrd : ALL
 
webmaild : ALL
 If you run Fantastico or Rvskin, please make sure you update them to the latest. Otherwise certain
•
things may stop functioning.
Known Issues
(as of June 28, 2007):
Issue: Perl 5.8.7 is unable to handle Unicode characters in SpamAssassin Filters’Solution:
Upgrade to Perl 5.8.8 as listed above
Issue: Synchronization issues may occur with cPanel 11 and cPanel DNS OnlySolution:
A patch will be released in the future to address this issue.
Issue: No SpamAssassin scanning for forwarded mailsBackground:
Exim now runs SpamAssassin at SMTP time during its ACLs. Previously, all mail wasscanned each time a delivery attempt was made. This was grossly inefcient. If you
have 2 unique domains with different users and email is forwarded from an accountwith SpamAssassin to one without, the mail will not be scanned as there is no SMTPsession between the two accounts as both are local.
Solution:
Enable SpamAssassin on the account the mail is being forwarded to.
Issue:Conictinglibxmlinstallscausecpdavd(WebDiskServer)tofail.64bitlinuxonly
Symptoms:
cpdavd won’t start, running /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkperlmodules shows that
XML::libXML will not install and Net::DAV::Server will not install
Solution:
Run https://your.IP.here:2087/scripts2/autoxer and enter libxml64x.
 
Issue: FTP logins getting “530 Login authentication failed” for all usersSolution:
Switch FTP from Pure-ftpd to Proftpd in WHM > FTP Conguration or vice-versa then
switch back to again it should resolve the problem.
Issue:
 
Resellers cannot see global packages created anymoreSolution
: In order to allow resellers to see global packages, they will need to add this acl in WHM
> Reseller Center > Privileges: Checking off “Allow the reseller to use global packages(globalpackages are any packages without a “_” in them)”

1.html/home/$user/.htpasswords/directory-name for protected directories in that users web root2.
