This is a probably a feature request.

Background

In cpanel I have set a few spamassassain rules to block out most of the offenders of recent spam in Global Email Filters. these are per domain rules.

You can also set Email Filters which is a per email method.

the issue

My global filters/spamassaasain rules were not brought over

the request

Make the cpanel migration migrate these settings aswell.

NB: Mine are not complex and i can move them manually.

Hello,

Thanks for the heads up!

Where are those SpamAssassin rules stored within a cPanel account?

[shoulders]

Below id the information you have asked for but for SpamAssassin rules and the filters, both of which were not brought over.

in the cpanel account backup

./homdedir/.cpanel/filter.yaml.bak

this is from 2017 so I think it is pointless and not the live data.

./homdedir/.cpanel/filter.yaml

```yaml --- filter: - actions: - action: save dest: /dev/null filtername: Dodgy Spam rules: - match: contains opt: or part: $message_body val: /t/click/ - match: contains opt: or part: $message_body val: /mw/index.php/ - match: contains opt: or part: $message_body val: or send post-mail - match: contains opt: or part: $message_body val: /track-url/ - match: contains opt: or part: $message_body val: claudia unescaped: 1 - actions: - action: save dest: /dev/null enabled: 1 filtername: Generated Apache SpamAssassin™ Discard Rule rules: - match: contains opt: or part: "$h_X-Spam-Bar:" val: +++++ version: '2.2' ```

./homdedir/.cpanel/filter.cache

{"version":2.2,"filter":[{"actions":[{"dest":"/dev/null","action":"save"}],"filtername":"Dodgy Spam","unescaped":1,"rules":[{"val":"/t/click/","part":"$message_body","opt":"or","match":"contains"},{"val":"/mw/index.php/","part":"$message_body","match":"contains","opt":"or"},{"val":"or send post-mail","part":"$message_body","match":"contains","opt":"or"},{"part":"$message_body","match":"contains","opt":"or","val":"/track-url/"},{"part":"$message_body","match":"contains","opt":"or","val":"claudia"}]},{"filtername":"Generated Apache SpamAssassin™ Discard Rule","rules":[{"val":"+++++","part":"$h_X-Spam-Bar:","opt":"or","match":"contains"}],"enabled":"1","actions":[{"dest":"/dev/null","action":"save"}]}]}

The Email Filters backup file only stores the account-level email filters from cPanel’s Global Email Filters interface (cPanel » Home » Email » Global Email Filters). The backup file does not store user account-level email filters from cPanel’s Email Filters interface (cPanel » Home » Email » Email Filters).

That's certainly something we can look into migrating! Did the latest backup you sent me have these custom rules?

[shoulders]

No it didn't .

I will whip up an example cpanel with various options and send it over. Might be a couple of days though.

[jcameron]

ok thanks that would be really useful!

[shoulders]

i have sent you an example cpanel account in an email.

[jcameron]

Thanks, will take a look!

I have sent a corrected backup with global filters, whitelists, blacklists, an additional Spam test (SPF_FAIL).
