SpamAssassin 2010 bug

patrick — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:25:53 +0000

The cPanel Quality Assurance team discovered a bug within the SpamAssassin ruleset that will mark messages sent in the year 2010 (that’s today) and beyond with a higher spam score than expected. This bug can result in legitimate mail being flagged as spam.

The cPanel Development team has issued a hot fix that will address this issue and will automatically update the SpamAssassin ruleset to resolve this issue.

This patch has been installed to all 040 Hosting managed servers but we advise customers to check their spam box more thorougly and to check their mail of the past days if they have enabled spamassassin in their cPanel.

For a more detailed explanation and information on resolving this problem on a non-cPanel environment, please review:

https://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=6269

As always, the entire cPanel team has pulled together to provide a rapid response to this issue as we realize proper email delivery is mission critical.

040 Hosting Upgraded to cPanel 11.25(Release)

patrick — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 09:06:41 +0000

cPanel 11.25 has been released; some of the new Features are:

Security

Safeguarding your account — and your peace of mind — are important to us. That’s why new security features are added to cPanel/WHM 11.25. The security token system helps prevent cross-site request forgery (XSRF) attacks by appending URLs with a session token. cPanel also changed the way cPanel handles blank referer checks, to make them more accurate. If a page is sent inside an existing session with a blank referer, it will trigger an XSRF prevention page.

Improved IMAP Support for Mobile Devices

Version 11.25 provides a number of enhancements that improve access to mobile devices. For example, cPanel/WHM will use cookie instead of HTTP authentication with compatible devices, which will reduce the number of authentication requests by up to 50% in many cases.

Refined User Interfaces

cPanel users will benefit from a quick-loading cPanel home page, as well as improvements to the Email Accounts interface. This screen has been streamlined, making it easier to use and faster than ever before.

11.25 also includes a simpler, faster password validation system that unifies client and server password strength ratings, for greater consistency and reliability.

Simple / Advanced DNS Zone Editor

As from 11.25 you will find a Simple DNS Zone Editor in your control-panel; if you like to have full access to your DNS Zone setup; you can request access to the Advanced DNS Zone Editor, however your are also free to ask our support team for help and configuring your DNS; this feature is only for the professional which needs some more control of its domains.

cPanel, announced release of version 11.24

patrick — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 08:54:55 +0000

As received from cPanels press release, note that 040 Hosting is offering the RELEASE or STABLE versions of cPanel to their customers, when version 11.24 gets added to either of these your server will be automaticly updated by us:

cPanel, announced this week the release of version 11.24 of their industry leading server management software. Version 11.24 introduces a new initiative to cPanel’s software, cPanel Accelerated. cPanel Accelerated brings new features designed to decrease system resource usage and increase speed and performance significantly from previous versions.

A substantial portion of the codebase of cPanel and the x3 interface itself has been streamlined and made to perform better and require less bandwidth. Also available as part of cPanel Accelerated are two alternatives for DNS and IMAP. The NSD nameserver can reduce memory usage for DNS functions by up to 40% over BIND. On busy nameservers that can add up to a huge resource savings. Also included in version 11.24 is Dovecot IMAP as an alternative to Courier IMAP. Dovecot provides up to a 25% reduction in disk I/O as well as using between 10% to 70% less memory then Courier. Security has also been enhanced with the reworking of cPanel’s process monitoring daemon to include service specific verification which helps to improve the security of running processes. Backups are faster too. Pkgacct 8 has been reworked to become significantly faster then previous versions. That means you can safely backup your data and restore it, both incrementally & non-incrementally much more quickly then previous versions. This all adds up to increased performance, reduced resource usage and ultimately a more efficient webhosting operation for cPanel customers.

As of Thursday, 10/30/2008, 11.24 and all its new enhancements will be available in the CURRENT build of cPanel. 11.24 will then make its way into the STABLE tree later in November. The best part of upgrading to 11.24 is that it’s very simple. Also, many of the improvements introduced require no user interaction, they just work.

Manage your website from behind a firewall

patrick — Fri, 30 May 2008 07:31:58 +0000

In order to meet the needs of users on corporate proxies who cannot access cPanel, Webmail and WHM on the regular ports, a proxy system has been introduced to cPanel 11.23 which allows access to each service through a subdomain. For example, a user can now access cPanel at http://cpanel.example.com instead of https://example.com:2083/.

040 Hosting has implemented this new feature for its users, access is enabled for all standard hosted domains. DNS+ service users can contact support for enabling this on their accounts or login to the support center and check our knowledgebase for additional information on this topic.

With 040 Hosting you can manage your website anytime, anywhere even with strict firewalls in place.

cPanel upgrade

patrick — Wed, 28 May 2008 20:54:37 +0000

040 Hosting is upgrading to cPanel 11.23, cPanel 11.23 introduces a number of exciting changes to our industry leading control panel. While there are many changes on the backend to cPanel and WHM with the 11.23 release, we’ll focus on four main areas: Memory Usage Reduction, Mail Flexibility and Efficiency, Backups and Transfers, and User Specific Changes.

Memory Usage
We aimed at reducing the memory footprint of cPanel with the 11.23 release. Two major changes in this area are VPS Optimized and Tailwatch. These changes were discussed earlier on the cPanel blog (http://blog.cpanel.net/?p=37). Both of these changes are part of an overall focus in reducing memory overhead of the cPanel product, a focus that extends beyond just our customers using VPS setups. The end result is a more responsive product that also uses less memory (up to 60% less standing memory usage on a VPS).

Mail Flexibility and Efficiency
Several important changes pertaining to mail handling and usage are available in 11.23. cPanel 11.23 introduces full support for the Roundcube (http://roundcube.net) webmail interface. This provides a nice modern alternative for webmail users. Also, it is now possible to have Exim send mail using the IP address dedicated to an account. This not only brings in a much requested feature, but also resolves issues with using SPF records on accounts with dedicated IP addresses. We have also introduced a SPF preference in the Exim Configuration editor to enable SPF checking at SMTP time. Running SPF checks at SMTP time, rather than during SpamAssassin greatly speeds up the mail delivery process on your server.

Backups and Transfers
cPanel account backup and transfer utilities have been greatly improved in cPanel 11.23. In 11.23 when transferring accounts, the utilities use WHM instead of rsync in order to improve speed and deal better with large file sizes. Also, more information about the accounts being transferred is available, such as disk space those accounts are currently using. Also the option to express transfer accounts from other cPanel servers has been added in order to speed up transfers.

User Specific Changes
In order to meet the needs of users on corporate proxies who cannot access cPanel, Webmail and WHM on the regular ports, a proxy system has been introduced to cPanel 11.23 which allows access to each service through a subdomain. For example, a user can now access cPanel at http://cpanel.example.com instead of https://example.com:2083/. 040 Hosting is currently implementing this feature and will be available soon, a mail will be send out in the coming days with instructions.

Additionally, a mechanism has been built into cPanel to notify users of SSL certificates which will expire soon. As it is highly important to ensure your SSL certificates are functioning properly, users will be alerted 30 days before their certificate is due to expire so they have ample time to renew their certificate.

Along with these changes, many products such as PHPMyAdmin which are shipped with cPanel have been upgraded to newer and far more responsive versions in order to improve the domain owner experience.

While the above features provide a great benefit to server administrators and end users, they are only a few of the changes that are brought about by cPanel 11.23. Other changes such as DNS record type support have been documented in the cPanel change log at http://changelog.cpanel.net
