How to Turn on SpamAssassin for single account and all accounts

[Jayant R. Danech]

Hello Friends,

You can enable the spamassasin for single account or all accounts using this information.. To enable SpamAssassin , you have to add as file named ".spamassassinenable" to /home/user and then add the folder .spamassassin to /home/user with a user_prefs file in it.. To further test it, you can enable it for one account to see the file contents for the /home/user/.spamassassin/user_prefs file.

You can then copy this file to /root/spamassassin/user_prefs and then create a postwwwacct script to have it enabled by default when the user account is created:

mkdir /root/spamassassin
cp /home/user/.spamassassin/user_prefs /root/spamassassin

Note: The username should be replaced accordingly.

Create a file postwwwacct at location /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/ and add the below code in it:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
 
my %OPTS = @ARGV;
$ENV{USER} = “$OPTS{‘user’}”;
system q(mkdir /home/$USER/.spamassassin);
system q(touch /home/$USER/.spamassassinenable);
system q(cp /root/spamassassin/user_prefs /home/$USER/.spamassassin/);
system q(chown $USER:$USER /home/$USER/.spamassassinenable);
system q(chown -R $USER:$USER /home/$USER/.spamassassin);
system q(chmod 700 /home/$USER/.spamassassin);

After creating this file, just make sure that it has executable permission:

chmod +x /usr/local/cpanel/scripts/postwwwacct

Enable it for all users using below one-liner bash scripts:

for i in `cat /etc/trueuserdomains | awk {'print $2'}` ;do mkdir /home/$i/.spamassassin && touch /home/$i/.spamassassinenable ;done
for i in `cat /etc/trueuserdomains | awk {'print $2'}` ;do cp /root/spamassassin/user_prefs /home/$i/.spamassassin/ ;done
for i in `cat /etc/trueuserdomains | awk {'print $2'}` ;do chown $i:$i /home/$i/.spamassassinenable && chown -R $i:$i /home/$i/.spamassassin ;done
