How to install MailScanner

Introduction

Sometimes, you may need to install MailScanner to help with y our email scanning and filtration against spam. 

While you can use MailScanner with cPanel, please keep in mind that it is a 3rd  party plugin that is not managed or maintained by cPanel so our support will be very limited. 

Procedure

1. Login to your server  through SSH as root
2. Download the installer, expand it and go into it:

   wget https://download.configserver.com/msinstall.tar.gz
   tar -xzf msinstall.tar.gz
   cd msinstall/
   

3. Follow the instructions in the provided INSTALL.txt file
4. Please note that the script uses a stable version of MailScanner which might not be the very latest from the developer
5. Once installed/upgraded/uninstalled make sure that both MailScanner is running correctly and that exim is sending and receiving emails:

   tail -f /var/log/maillog
   tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog
