***SPAM in WHMCS*** Want to get rid of it?

[disgruntled]

Is there a fix for cpanel ..

 

As far as cpanel goes, i assume exim is your mail server, it should be more or less the same, the path to php and spam assasin will be different but a quick check on your server, or google will tell you all you need to know.

 

Failing that contact your administration to ask them these paths, they should also have an idea of the correct line to use to forward through spamassasin.

Speaking of ConfigServer Security & Firewall with regards to Box Trapper, here is what Chirpy says about it (as seen in the Check Server Security recommendations):

 

Having boxtrapper enabled can very easily lead to your server being listed in common RBLs and usually has the effect of increasing the overall spam load, not reducing it. You should disable it in WHM > Tweak Settings > BoxTrapper Spam Trap

 

We always disable Box Trapper and strictly use SpamAssassin.

Have you managed to find a solution to this yet. We are receiving emails like that daily. One simple solutiuon for me would be to have a script that looks for a specific word in the email and trashes all others. So instead of looking for ***SPAM*** and trashing those emails, it would look for MYCODE and trasj all emails that do not have MYCODE in the subject line.

We are in the process of building an addon that used AKISMET for spam detection on forms and when they get past spamassassin on email piping. Become a beta tester here:

So far it's blocking about 18 out of 20 we've received. The others that it's not caught, we've submitted to AKISMET via a "report spam" button we've added to the WHMCS ticketing system.
