I've actually found C-Panel to be more feature-rich than most host interfaces I have used, keeping in mind I've never paid more than $20 per month. My only complaint is that I don't appear to have access to my SpamAss config files, so I can't alter the configuration from the default. All I want to do is up the threshold from 5 to 6 and exclude some email addresses from filtering. There is probably a way, but no one on the list appears to know how to change SpamAss defaults on a C-Panel implementation.

Cpanel is a management system for web servers, where one RedHat system is split up and managed via a web "panel" of pages, with various arrangements for individual users, log analysis, and accounts for resellers who can create sub-accounts for users. I recently tried to use such a system when my hosting company had one available, because I did not like the lousy log analysis in the Ensim-managed server I was on. But Cpanel seems to be in some ways more amateurish and poxy than Ensim. For instance, it simply could not cope with the primary and I think the secondary name servers for my domeains being on any other machine than itself. Cpanel and Exim are commercial programs, some with patents pending - which involves a lot of cheek for splitting up and managing an open-source system. They are both, in my limited experience, pretty low quality. They both also involve a mail server and a web-mail system, so the question would involve integrating SpamAssassin in one of these systems. In my limited experience, with hosting companies simply renting a server they have never seen, from farms such as: http://www.rackshack.net for USD$100 a month for 400 gigs of transfer, and being so clueless as to run their own and all their customer's domains with both the primary and secondary DNS on adjacent IP addresses on the one machine (also the web server), and so, on getting hacked, having to resort to Hotmail addresses to communicate with their customers . . . . the chance of such people being clued up enough to install SpamAssasin successfully seems remote. But maybe the Cpanel machine in question is run by a hosting company with more care and intelligence . . . but then, can't they find something better than Cpanel? - Robin ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
