The File Manager allows you to manage your site through HTML, rather than an FTP tool or other third-party application.

You can block an e-mail using spam filters. There are many definitions of spam, but one particularly useful one is the following:

Spam is the electronic version of junk mail, and has been around since the Internet was created. E-mail filters are a way of filtering your e-mail to remove unwanted mail based on a variety of criteria. You can block any sort of e-mail, not just mail of a commercial nature. Blocked mail can be deleted automatically or sent to another e-mail address or script. These filters are quite flexible - some examples are provided after the instruction on how to add a spam filter below. All filters are cumulative.

To add an e-mail filter:

Click on the E-mail Filtering link in the Mail area.

Click on the Add Filter link.

Click on the required header field in the first drop-down list. These are the various fields in any e-mail message.

Click on the required filter action in the second drop-down list. This action will act on the text entered in the third field.

equals - match the text exactly (whole words only). "Credit" will block "Credit".

matches regex - matches the text based on regular expression (regex) rules. Regular expressions are a powerful but complex area. You do not need to use regular expression filters for most circumstances. Refer to these two good introductory tutorials - Using Regular Expressions and Learning to Use Regular Expressions - for more information.

contains - match the specified text in any circumstance. "porn" will block "porn" and "pornography".

begins with - match the specified text when it is the beginning of a word. "porn" will block "porn" and "pornography" but not "teenporn".

Enter the filter text in the third field. This text is case sensitive.

Enter the destination for the filtered e-mail in the Destination field. There are three separate types of destination:

Destroy the e-mail - Enter Discard in the field.

Redirect to another address - Enter the e-mail address to which to redirect the e-mail.

Redirect to a script - Enter the full script path on the machine that hosts your web site.

Click on the Activate button.

Example:

To redirect all e-mail from "john@paradise.net", enter: From, equals, john@paradise.net, david@corse.org.nz

To delete all e-mail from paradise.net, enter: From, contains, paradise.net, Discard

To delete all references to pornography, enter: Any Header, contains, porn, Discard

To discard all e-mail that Spam Assassin has marked as spam, enter: SpamAssassin Spam Header, begins with, yes, Discard

You can change how Spam Assassin deals with spam. The following options are available:

• required_hits - The number of e-mails received before a certain e-mail is considered spam.

• rewrite_subject - Alter the subject line of spam e-mail. Enter 1 to enable or 0 to disable.

• subject_tag - Text added to the subject line of spam e-mails. rewrite_subject must be enabled for this to work.

• blacklist_from - Enter an e-mail address that you always want classified as spam. The asterix symbol (*) can be used as a wildcard.

• whitelist_from - Enter an e-mail address that you never want classified as spam. The asterix symbol (*) can be used as a wildcard.

To configure Spam Assassin

1. Click on the Spam Assassin link in the Mail area.

2. Click on the Configure Spam Assassin button.

3. Change the settings as required.

4. Click on the Save button.

Mailman is a popular mailing list script. Mailing lists are an ideal tool for communication between far-flung participants and can be about anything you want. Mailman allows you to set up a mailing list with a large number of configurable options, such as who is on the list, where mailing lists messages are sent, and whether you include welcoming messages to new subscribers.

The Mailman documentation, which is incorporated into its Administration panel, is clear and helpful, and should be referred to for all questions about using the script. The instructions in this section deal with how to set up, modify, and delete a Mailman mailing list from your CPanel. You can can also refer to the Mailman home page for more information.

Note: It is a good idea to be aware of spam and its definition before setting up a mailing list - refer to E-mail Filtering for more information.

To add a mailing list:

1. Click on the Mailing Lists link in the Mail area.

2. Click on the Add Mailing List link.

3. Enter the name of the mailing list in the List Name field, the password for the list in the Password field, and the domain it is for from the Domain drop-down list.

4. Click on the Create button. The list is created in the /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/mailman/lists folder.

We update our Linux systems daily and we have a hardware firewall.

We also use SSL certificates for billing system, ordering system and cPanel system, so your personal details and passwords are protected.

We do not guarantee that our systems are 100% hackproof, there is no such system, we can only apply higher security measures.

 By default, all files uploaded to the server automatically have permissions set to 644. The setting 644 is relatively safe, as it provides "Read" and "Write" access to the owner, while limiting the rest of the public to "Read Only" access.

When setting permissions for cgi scripts, the most common permissions setting is 755.   755 allows the owner "Read and Write" access, while allowing the Group and Public "Read and Execute" permissions. So what are we actually saying? In short, when users access your cgi script, the server has been instructed to grant them permissions to "Read and Execute" it.

Remember that a script is a program that must be processed by the server. As long as the script is written properly, you can safely allow users to execute it, and thus providing the desired results. For example, if they wanted to post a message to your wwwboard discussion forum, then they would need these permissions to execute wwwboard.pl, which would write their new message to an html file, which is displayed on the main forum.   The new message would reside in a directory on your site so other users could view it. Most cgi, perl and other scripts you'll be installing come complete with instructions telling you which permissions you'll need to set them to.

 Setting permissions on files is a relatively simple task, however MAKE SURE you fully understand what it is you're allowing the public to do with your files. For example, some less experienced users often make the fatal mistake of simply setting ALL of their files to 777. While 777 will automatically allow executing privileges, it also allows full "READ, WRITE, and EXECUTION ability to the entire world!!!!

This is how web sites get hacked! While most visitors have good intentions, all it takes is one person who snoops about your files seeking an "Open Back Door." This could result is them gaining full access to your directories, which means they can do anything from deleting your entire site, to defacing it with obscenities.
