Question
Where can I install or get a new license for SpamScan Plugin for cPanel & WHM?
Answer
SpamScan was a cPanel & WHM plugin previously developed by Buycpanel. The software was used to scan server IPs against common RBLs to check if the system was listed by these providers.
The plugin was deprecated in May 2020 and is no longer available for purchase or installation. We suggest checking your IPs with a RBL scan or if your IP is listed with these common providers:
b.barracudacentral.org
bl.spamcop.net
dnsbl.sorbs.net
spam.dnsbl.sorbs.net
ips.backscatterer.org
zen.spamhaus.org
ipcheck.proofpoint.com

If you would like to remove this plugin, run the uninstall script within the spamscan
folder:
sh uninstall.sh
If this script does not exist on your server, create it with the following content:
#!/bin/bash
d=`date "+%b%d"`
echo "Please confirm us to Uninstall SpamScan Plugin - press Y / N"
read -p " y / n ?" ans
if [ "$ans" == "y" ]
then
echo "Uninstalling......"
if [ -f /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/spamscan.cpanelplugin ]; then
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/unregister_cpanelplugin /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/spamscan.cpanelplugin
fi
for rem in `ls /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/`
do
echo $rem
rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/$rem/spamscan > /dev/null 2>&1
done
rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/spamscan.cpanelplugin > /dev/null 2>&1
rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/cgi/spamscan > /dev/null 2>&1
rm -rf /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/cgi/addon_spamscan_monitor.cgi > /dev/null 2>&1
rm -rf ../spamscan > /dev/null 2>&1
cp -Rf /var/spool/cron/root /var/spool/cron/root.`date "+%b%d"`
cd
sed -i '/spamscan/d' /var/spool/cron/root > /dev/null 2>&1
service crond restart
elif [ "$ans" == "n" ]
then
echo "Uninstall Request has been aborted"
exit 0
else
echo "Type y/n"
fi
