Seriously? Even to set up the filters? I would rather manage my own filters than have to contact support each time I want to add or remove one. Sort of defeats the purpose of CPanel otherwise.

Before the upgrade, I had email filters that moved my messages to a particular mail folder depending on certain criteria. Something simple like: $h_X-Spam-Status: begins "Yes" /home/username/mail/domain/folder/Junk E-mail (where Junk E-mail is the mbox file) worked great. I tried updating the tail end my prepending "Junk E-mail" with a "." (to reflect the new state of affairs with the directories, and unsurprisingly this didn't work. What is the easiest way to setup these folders right. As a side note, I suspect I have about a month's worth of email sitting in the old mbox files that I'd like converted to the new structure. Is this something I can do myself, or need I open a ticket? Thanks for the help. tgpaul

Ah, great job again. I was still pointing to server99.totalchoicehosting.com. Thanks! T

It would only be appropriate that this problem would occur a year later almost to the day. With the new wildcard certificates, any chance of suppressing the IE warning "safely"? (Getting IE to recognize server99 as being inside *.tchmachines or disregarding warnings at this domain) Thanks much for your help. Ted

All, I can't claim that this is a new "feature" introduced with Horde 3, but as it stands now, Horde IMP webmail has no spell checking capability whatsoever. Sure, there's a link to check your e-mail, but no spell checking is actually performed; it always returns no errors. I e-mailed tech support and got the following response from a Level 2 technician: This is because aspell is disabled on the server. The default configuration of Horde uses Aspell. Since this is a Cpanel installation, we are unable to change the configuration. Do let us know if you need anything else. I've made some pretty advanced requests in the past, many of which were rejected (and perhaps rightly so), but to me, this seems basic, and I feel very upset with this response. It seems that in recent months, I've felt more and more constrained as to what can and cannot be done. It seems that the tech support operators won't do anything that requires more than 5 minutes of effort anymore. I hope someone of authority here can rectify this situation. TGP

So it turns out that some ports on server99 (2083: Secure CPanel and 2096: Secure Webmail) were using a different certificate than the standard one on port 88, and I put in a ticket to fix it. Changing to the main certificate on these other ports, in conjunction with installing the certificate in IE, supresses the warning safely. Thanks zathros!

Well, the reason I question is because with my old host, all I had to do was install the certificate and it would "trust" it. This does not seem to be the case with TCH. Could it be that the issued to/from is localhost.localdomain? Something like serverXX.totalchoicehosting.com would seem à propos.

Bump.

Don, Do you do mail filtering in php, or do you just know php in general? I have no preference of language for this script. TGP

Well, I seem to have made a bit of progress. I had the nice tech support people install a perl lib called Mail::Audit on server99. It contains excellent functions for doing just what I'm looking for. I'll post my code when it's complete. In the mean time, please throw out some suggestions! TGP

Dear all, I am using the shared SSL certificate on server99 to access webmail and cpanel, but everytime I go to these pages for the first time in a browser session, I get the old Security Alert dialog "Security certificate is invalid or does not match domain name". If I remember correctly, with my last host I simply installed the certificate, and I never got the warning again. I tried that here, and it doesn't seem to be working. Any suggestions? TGP

Hi all, I need a bit of direction to write a Perl script that will filter e-mails tagged by Spam Assassin according to a set of rules. I know that within the E-mail filtering page in cPanel I choose "SpamAssassin Spam Header begins with Yes" and then I pipe it to my script "|/home/user/spam.pl". From here, I have no clue what to do. I don't know what the e-mail looks like to the script at this point, and I am unsure how to extract basic header information and make decisions based on this information. Some of the information I would like includes destination user mail account (not necessarily the same as the "To" field if it was forwarded), and the SA spam score. I'm thinking something along the lines of this: If score >= 10 then discard else put it in the intended recipients spam folder (~/mail/user/Spam) I am a programmer and know a bit of Perl, so I'm not asking someone to write this for me. I just need some resources with examples of what such a script might look like. Thanks. TGP

Dear all, I'm new to the TCH family, and I would like suggestions how I might optimally configure my DNS records. I have my domain registered by GoDaddy, and it is currently pointing to name servers at ZoneEdit. I would like to continue to use ZoneEdit (or DynDns) for only ONE subdomain: home.<mydomain>.com. I want this subdomain to continue point to the dynamic IP address I get from my cable modem at home (currently updated periodically by my router). However, I'd all other subdomains to point to TCH's server, and to be configurable with the flexibility and ease of CPanel (use TCH's DNS's). What would be the best way to configure such a setup? I would think this would require intermediate knowledge of how DNS records works, but I believe it is possible. Thanks in advance. TGP
