HOW TO for cPanel ::  ASSP 1.3.5 (5.0) plus ASSP Deluxe for cPanel

Installing assp + assp deluxe for cPanel :
Last update 5 May 2008
                                                
Uninstallation is included at the end of this How TO.

Before starting the installation read these points ;

  • Hardware requirements : You can install it also on old servers with 256 MB RAM . You can install/run it on VPS without problems. 
  • firewall tcp port 55555 and 55553 opened (inbound and outbound) , required for the assp web interface and stats
  • firewall tcp port 125 opened (only inbound) 
  • Activate and install cPanelPro (*) at http://pro.cpanel.net/activate/ 
    (required to install ClamAV antivirus)
  • Install Clamavconnector antivirus
            WHM > cPanel > Addon Modules on CP 10,
            WHM>Cpanel>Mange Plugins   on CP 11
  • Deactivate/Remove mailscanner if you are using it (otherwise it is redundant).
  • Deactivate/Remove rvskin anstispam if you are using it  (otherwise it is redundant). 
  • Deactivate/remove any other spam/antivirus solution installed .
  • Spamassassin/box trapper must be deactivated from WHM and cPanel theme/skins.
  • Before starting I recommend you to read something on how ASSP works .
    If you have no confidence with terms like RBL/URIBL , Whitelist , Bayesian , delaying, I suggest you to read some assp wiki articles .
  • Are you installing "assp deluxe for cPanel" only to test performance ? .  In this case please note that "ASSP Deluxe for cPanel" requires min. 1 domain name listed on WHM (account list). Note that ASSP starts with an empty bayesian database . The database is automatically (also if the user may  contribute to build it) created day by day based on what the users are doing on the server . So testing ASSP on a server with few accounts and few traffic, will not create an efficient bayesian database in the brief time , or it will be mature only after some days . If you'll follow carefully the post installation steps (which includes the usage of ASSP scoring mode ON,spambox plugin, delaying off) , ASPP will use several filters at the same time before blocking an email (assp scoring mode) , and also if the Bayesian filter will not be still mature after some day (due to few email traffic), ASSP should be already good/enough to block 80%-90% of your received spam . When your bayesian filter will be more mature, you can increase the Bayesian score contribute (we'll find detailed info on the faqs) to block 95%-99% received spam also with relaxed/default antispam setting and with a very low risk to lose a good email (in each case the email will not be lost if you activate the spambox plugin as recommended). Note that some ASSP WHM features will be available only if you'll enable specific tools . For example if you would "EMAIL DAILY REPORTS" you should enable the spambox plugin on assp WHM or , another example , if you would see the "spambox" functionality on your users cPanel frontend  you should enabled the spambox plugin on assp WHM.




Now you can start the installation . If it's your first "assp deluxe for cpanel" installation , do not worry.
During the installation your clients will be able to send and receive email . If you follow the installation step by step you'll not have problems. If you fail a step you can email me with your licensed ip and explain me where you started to have problems. At the end of installation you should apply the POST INSTALLATION STEPS HERE .
 

INSTALLATION
Time required to complete this installation, 20~30 minutes


Only If you need to uninstall correctly mailscanner please read this

Deactivate/turn off    spamassassin
To deactivate spamassassin open WHM then select
Service Configuration > Service Manager and uncheck spamd
 


save Service Manager settings then go to
Server Configuration > Tweak settings  and uncheck spamassassin and boxtrapper as shown below, and save Tweak Settings.

  • please be sure antirelayd service is running
    go to WHM >> Service Configuration >> Service Manager and check antirelayd
     

  • You need a default/reset exim configuration, since all the spam/virus filtering work will be done by ASSP.
    Exactly how to "clean/reset exim.conf" ? Open WHM , go to "Service Configuration" , then "Exim Configuration Editor" ,
    then "Advanced editor". You should empty all text boxes (ACL too , it should be recreated automatically     **) , then click on "save". Alternativelly (better solution)  to "clean/reset exim.conf" ,  Open WHM , go to "Service Configuration" , then "Exim Configuration Editor" , and click on "RESET ALL CONFIGS TO DEFAULT"

    ** note : in some OS (for example on Trustix), I noticed that the ACL sections are not re-created automatically from cPanel , in this case you should execute "reset ACL config to default" or  "RESET ALL CONFIGS TO DEFAULT" to recreate ACL section .      
     
  • On Cpanel 10 you should configure WHM > Exim Configuration editor in this way
     

  • On Cpanel 11 you should configure WHM > Exim Configuration editor in this way (all disabled except of "validate sender")
     

 


Ok , now go to ssh console , execute following command to check your Perl version...

perl -v

if you have Perl version 5.8.7 or above you can continue (5.8.8 is better especially with cpanel 11)  . Otherwise execute /scripts/perlinstaller and check again the perl version. If /scripts/perlinstaller fails to update Perl go to http://layer1.cpanel.net download the latest Perl installer and install it.


now execute following command to check your (Cpanel) php version...

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php -v

if you have a php version 4.4.4 or above you can continue .


now check if you have ClamAV antivirus installed

clamd --v

or

/usr/sbin/clamd --v

if it returns ClamAV 0.91.1 or above you can continue
Otherwise you should install/upgrade clamavconnector using WHM / ADD on modules  (WHM > Cpanel > plugins on cpanel 11).
If you are using a custom clamAV installation I recommend you to remove it and use only  ClamAV provided by WHM/Cpanel-


Ok now create the folder /usr/local/assp

mkdir /usr/local/assp

 

Now we install required perl modules

cd /usr/local/assp;wget http://www.grscripts.com/assp/assp_modules_installer
chmod 700 assp_modules_installer;./assp_modules_installer;rm -f assp_modules_installer


Now we start with ASSP installation .

cd /usr/local/assp
wget http://www.grscripts.com/131/ASSP_1.3.1-Install.zip
unzip -d /usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP_1.3.1-Install.zip
mv --target-directory=/usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP/*
mv --target-directory=/usr/local/assp /usr/local/assp/ASSP/.DS_Store


If  mv --target-directory is not accepted try this

mv /usr/local/assp/ASSP/* /usr/local/assp;mv /usr/local/assp/ASSP/.DS_Store /usr/local/assp


then execute

rm -rf /usr/local/assp/__MACOSX
rm -rf /usr/local/assp/ASSP;rm -f ASSP_1.3.1-Install.zip

 

Now we get latest ASSP version and assp configuration file (latest blue line)

cd /usr/local/assp
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/135_50/assp.tar.gz
tar xvzf assp.tar.gz;rm -f assp.tar.gz
chmod 700 assp.pl;chmod 755 rebuildspamdb.pl;chmod 755 repair.pl
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/135_50/assp.cfg

 

Now we create working files and folders

cd /usr/local/assp;mkdir pb;cd pb
touch denysmtp.txt;touch exportedextreme.txt;touch pbdb.black.db
touch pbdb.rbl.db;touch pbdb.white.db
cd /usr/local/assp;mkdir notspam;mkdir spam;mkdir errors
mkdir /usr/local/assp/errors/notspam;mkdir /usr/local/assp/errors/spam
chmod 700 /usr/local/assp/spam;chmod 700 /usr/local/assp/notspam;chmod 700 /usr/local/assp/errors

 

assp service files .
assp (md5sum)  fe30e822862be1779512b1d1afd2736d
start (md5sum) 9f45ed18d57e6e59c3ab32a73bd0681b
stop (md5sum) 85551ce48a568bb8b15d2aa9882131d0

cd /usr/local/assp
wget  -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/service/start
chmod 700 start
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/service/stop
chmod 700 stop
cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/service/assp
chmod 755 assp
cd /usr/local/assp


( note : ONLY If you have Trustix OS execute this

cd /etc;mkdir rc.d;cd rc.d;mkdir init.d

cd /etc/rc.d/init.d
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/service/assp
chmod 755 assp

cd /etc/init.d;wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/service/assp;chmod 755 assp
cd /usr/local/assp

)

 

Now we start to configure ASSP with ASSP Deluxe for cPanel .

First we install ASSP Deluxe scripts on /usr/local/assp/deluxe in this way

cd /usr/local/assp;mkdir deluxe;cd /usr/local/assp/deluxe
ln -s /etc/relayhosts /usr/local/assp/deluxe/relayhosts
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/assp150/deluxe/assp.tar.gz
tar xvzf assp.tar.gz;rm -f assp.tar.gz;chmod 755 *.*;chmod 755 *
chmod 666 *spam_lover;chmod 666 assp_catch_all;chmod 755 /usr/local/assp/rebuildspamdb.pl


Only if you have a 64 Bit OS you should execute following commands too (it will update the /ioncube folder with 64 bit encoders)

cd /usr/local/assp/deluxe/ioncube
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/ioncube64/ioncube64.tar.gz
tar xvzf ioncube64.tar.gz;rm -f ioncube64.tar.gz


WHM ASSP Deluxe for cPanel interface
Now you can install the WHM ASSP Deluxe for Cpanel interface . 

cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/asspwhm/whm.tar.gz
tar xvzf whm.tar.gz;rm -f whm.tar.gz


Only if you have a 64 Bit OS you should execute following commands too (it will update the /ioncube folder with 64 bit encoders)

cd /usr/local/cpanel/whostmgr/docroot/cgi/ioncube
wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=10 http://www.grscripts.com/ioncube64/ioncube64.tar.gz
tar xvzf ioncube64.tar.gz;rm -f ioncube64.tar.gz

Now , if you open  WHM , and go down to ADD-ons menu , you should find the link Grscripts ASSP Deluxe .
 

Cpanel ASSP Deluxe for cPanel user frontend
Now we install the ASSP Deluxe Cpanel Web interface .

Open  WHM ,  go down to ADD-ons menu , and click on the link Grscripts ASSP Deluxe
Go to Install / Upgrade Center ,  ASSP Deluxe for cPanel frontend

Select a supported Cpanel theme (x ,x2 , xmail , moonson , bluelagoon, rvskin , x3/x3mail, xcontroller, ALL THEMES) or enter a custom Cpanel theme then click the "ASSP Deluxe Cpanel Frontend" button to install the ASSP Deluxe for Cpanel frontend.

If you receive a message like this you can continue


The web interface for your clients will be installed on /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/yourskin/asspdeluxe and you can view the web interface pointing your browser to /usr/local/cpanel/base/frontend/yourskin/asspdeluxe/index.php . The installed above will adjust links on you cpanel theme   .

 Do not forget to remove/disable spamassassin and boxtrapper everywhere from your control panel and WHM .

 To enable ASSP deluxe on RVSKIN theme
(note: with latest Rvskin versions ASSP Deluxe is automatically detected, so you can skip the step below )

  1. Upgrade RVSkin to lastest version.
  2. Go to rvadmin Skin Manager / Package-Feature Manager. Choose the Feature List you want user to control the feature, find the feature 'SPAM and Antivirus protection (ASSP Deluxe)' and enable it.


 

How to change/customize language or html for your ASSP deluxe for cPanel frontend
By default the ASSP Deluxe Cpanel frontend will use the english and/or the spanish language .
If you want use another language style or if you want change something on the html layout please read here .
(Of course you can do this step later) .



Ok ,  return to ssh console and  execute this

# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php /usr/local/assp/deluxe/ex_ips.php
# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php /usr/local/assp/deluxe/ex_localdomains.php
# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php /usr/local/assp/deluxe/update_email.php

If you receive no error you can continue .

Now you must set ASSP DELUXE cronjobs for ex_localdomains.php , update_email.php and status.php.
 

Execute crontab -e to add following cronjobs

10 12 * * * /usr/bin/freshclam --quiet --log-verbose --daemon-notify
10 4 * * * cd /usr/local/assp;perl /usr/local/assp/rebuildspamdb.pl
*/59 * * * * /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php /usr/local/assp/deluxe/ex_localdomains.php
*/3 * * * * /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php /usr/local/assp/deluxe/update_email.php
*/1 * * * * /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php /usr/local/assp/deluxe/status.php

If you don't want receive email notification each time these cron execute (strongly recommended) enter them at the end of your cronjob list in this way (avoid the "> /dev/null" solution , since it will NOT work with these scripts.)

10 12 * * * /usr/bin/freshclam --quiet --log-verbose --daemon-notify
10 4 * * * cd /usr/local/assp;perl /usr/local/assp/rebuildspamdb.pl
MAILTO=""

HELP  What are ex_localdomains.php and update_email.php ?

ex_localdomains.php creates 2 flat files very important to use ASSP on a cPanel server.-

  1. assp_local_email with all your local email and forwarders allowed to receive/send email
  2. assp_local_domains with all your local domains and subdomains allowed to receive/send email 

update_email.php updates assp_local_email and assp_local_domains .

How do they work exactly ?
While ex_localdomains.php creates a new and complete list of email/forwarders/domains/subdomains, the update_email.php file searches new email/forwarders/domains/subdomains and adds them to your current assp files assp_local_email assp_local_domains. update_email.php executes in about 0.025 sec. or less so it will not eat/waste cpu cycles (it's much faster than ex_localdomains.php) . There are also checks to run in less than this few time if there is nothing to update. I suggest you to execute update_email.php each 3 minutes .

ex_localdomains.php must run each hour because update_email.php only adds new email/forwarders/domains/subdomains but does not remove unused (cancelled) domain/subdomain/email/forwarderds from your assp lists.

does these cronjob will waste my cpu ?
NO .  All ASSP Deluxe scripts ar coded to use as low cpu as possible.  

a) ex_localdomains.php : you can execute it each hour or above and it extracts about 1000 email/forwarders/domains/subdomains in less than 1 sec. The file checks the server load and it can stop termporarly or definitely if the server is overloaded with other works.

b) update_email.php : also if you execute it each 3 minutes there is no problem since it was developed to use very few cpu . update_email.php executes in about 0.025 sec. or less so it will not eat/waste cpu cycles (it's much faster than ex_localdomains.php) .

What is status.php ?
 status.php check the status of ASSP and restart it in case of failure. You should remove this cron if you want disable assp temporarly. (You will find more info on the FAQS)

What is rebuildspamdb.pl ?
 With rebuilspamdb.pl ASSP can rebuild it's spam database , it should run once a day. You can also execute it from console or from WHM assp deluxe web interface.

What is freshclam ?
 freshclam will update your clamd virus database daily.

 

Now execute this

# replace :blackhole: :fail: -- /etc/valiases/*
# /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/bin/php  /usr/local/assp/deluxe/fix_valiases.php

fix_valiases.php modifies files on /valiases to work with assp.
 
assp.cfg
You already downloaded some step above assp.cfg . This assp configuration file assp.cfg is already configured to work on
a cPanel server and to use the assp Deluxe for Cpanel.  You should change following parameters with your own settings;
open assp.cfg with an editor (pico,vi ...)

# cd /usr/local/assp
# pico assp.cfg


...and replace the first 5 lines ;

webAdminPassword:=nospam4me
EmailAdminReportsTo:=email@youremail.com
EmailFrom:=email@youremail.com
EmailVirusReportsTo:=email@youremail.com
SpamError:=500 Mail appears to be unsolicited -- send error reports to email@youremail.com

as follows....


a) email addresses
    replace email@youremail.com 
    with your email address .  Your email address should be an internal email . I strongly suggest you to use
    root@yourhostname.com (of course replace yourhostname.com  with your hostname .  You can get your hostname executing
    # hostname ).

b) change the default assp web interface password (nospam4me) with a new password
     webAdminPassword:=nospam4me

** DON'T USE YOUR ROOT PASSWORD FOR YOUR ASSP WEB INTERFACE **

Save the file and close the editor.

 

NOTE My assp.cfg configuration file permits you to use ASSP and ASSP Deluxe for Cpanel without any problem . I  support the usage of assp and assp deluxe only if you are using my assp.cfg .

If you change something using the ASSP web interface , make it at your risk . I recommend you to change settings on ASSP web interface only if stricly required .
If you change something especially on "Collecting" "Server Setup" "logging" "testmode" "SMTP Session limits" you may fully break ASSP deluxe for cPanel compatibility .


Now we check if assp can run as a service

execute this

# service assp start
or
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/assp start

if assp starts without errors,  you can continue . If it doesn't start or the command prompt returns only after a long delay please email me specifing your licensed ip (if you want the problem solved asap provide me your root login too). 

Now you can try if the ASSP Web Interface works fine ; open your browser and point it to

http://yourserverip:55555

Login with "assp" and your assp password ,you set it before, some row above point b)  .

 

IMPORTANT : If you would run exim also on another port ... (#60)

If you want run exim also on another port (i.e. 26) be sure to turn off (yes off, because ASSP will handle the alternative port) the alternative port on WHM -> Service Configuration -> Service Manager (as shown below) . 


Now return to the assp web interface (http://yourip:55555) , select Network Setup and enter your alternative exim port on "Another Listen Port" . Leave SMTP Auth Destination empty . By default port 26 is already set on assp web interface.


 Save assp settings , and continue the installation as explained below.

 


If the ASSP Web Interface works fine, return to command line  and execute this

# service assp status
or
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/assp status

if you receive something like "ASSP (pid 13625) is running" you can continue



Now if you want run assp automatically each time you restart the server (If you have a FreeBSD or Fedora OS server skip this step)

chkconfig --add assp

Only if you have a FreeBSD server and you want run assp automatically each time you restart the server execute this

echo 'assp_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf

Only if you have a Fedora OS server and you want run assp automatically each time you restart the server execute this

echo '/etc/rc.d/init.d/assp start' >> /etc/rc.local

 


Now you should modify exim , only after this step ASSP will start to process email.
 Open WHM , Exim Configuration Editor , then select Advanced Editor

On the first box enter the following code

###### enable assp proxy ######
 local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1
daemon_smtp_ports = 125
log_selector = +arguments +subject


Now you should empty/clear all other exim text boxes . ACL section too , it should be recreated automatically ** . Then click on "save".

( Before saving exim , create a backup of your current /etc/exim.conf  .

# cp /etc/exim.conf /etc/exim.conf_old

It will be useful only if you'll decide to uninstall ASSP. )

** important note : in some OS (for example on Trustix and centos 5), I noticed that the ACL sections are not re-created automatically from cPanel , in this case you should execute "reset ACL config to default" to recreate ACL section after the "Save".  


If exim does not restart at this step , execute this from console

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/assp stop;/etc/rc.d/init.d/assp start

and restart exim from whm or from command line with

# service exim restart
or
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/exim restart

exim should restart without errors. Now ASSP and exim should work fine .


To see if ASSP is working fine execute this

# cd /usr/local/assp/
# tail -f /usr/local/assp/maillog.txt

You may also execute

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/assp restart;tail -f /usr/local/assp/maillog.txt

To check errors exactly when assp (re)starts .

The command above should return something like this

Apr-3-08 11:43:40 Starting PID: 28271

You can ignore the 2 warnings above because ASSP must still create a bayesian database and a whitelist .
If you see some other errors you failed some step on the "how to" and it should be fixed.
 

If all works fine and messages are processed correctly you can now check if also exim is working fine.

# tail -f /var/log/exim_mainlog


If email are processed with a final "completed" message like this ...

2007-11-13 11:25:20 1Irs1F-0000vx-9U -> em@my.com.tr R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp H=my.com [84.1.1.1] X=TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256
2007-11-13 11:26:30 1Irs2P-0002XB-T3 Completed

It's all ok  and you can  CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE . If you see ACL errors like this

unknown ACL verb "check_recipient" in "check_recipient"

followed by a "unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command" . open WHM > exim configuration editor >
and try "reset ACL config to default" , then restart Exim and ASSP using WHM and WHM assp interface.  

If the problem is still not fixed open WHM > exim configuration editor > and execute "Reset ALL config to defaults" .
After this step you should go again to  WHM > exim configuration editor > Advanced editor and re-enter

on the first box enter the following code

###### enable assp proxy ######
 local_interfaces = 127.0.0.1
daemon_smtp_ports = 125
log_selector = +arguments +subject

Save exim . Now return to WHM > exim configuration editor and set again  "Standard Options" as was explained above in
this how to.   Now restart ASSP using WHM. The ACL error on exim mailllog should be fixed and all should be ok .

If on exim maillog you see "unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command" lines without ACL errors , it's a normal behavior , ASSP is disconnecting from EXIM because the email was rejected due to spam (email disctionary attack or other reason) .

Now please read and apply the post installation FAQS
 

Installation has been terminated.
Now you should apply the Post-installation steps .

Maintenance
1) upgrade ASSP when required  using the WHM ASSP interface.
2) upgrade ASSP Deluxe for Cpanel when required using the WHM ASSP interface.
3) upgrade ClamAV when required using WHM/cPanel upgrades.

Now you should apply the Post-installation steps .

Uninstalling assp ?  Time required : 5 minutes   (#01)

uninstallation requires about 5 minutes , may I ask you why ?
Note that if you had/have a temporarly ASSP problem there is no need to uninstall it , simply follow this procedure .

If you want really uninstall it, follow this procedure ;

First ,  if you are using ASSP MONITOR , uninstall it using assp WHM , OR open WHM then select Service  Configuration > Service Manager and uncheck assp service.   If you are using  the assp_monitor.php or status.php cronjob , remove it.
STOP ASSP using WHM assp (or from command line  # /etc/rc.d/init.d/assp stop).
 

Open WHM > exim configuration editor > and execute "Reset ALL config to defaults"
Ok now you are already using exim without assp .

now execute
