More then a year ago, cPanel added a future to the Exim Configuration Editor for everyone to easily select from two RBLs (spamhaus.org and spamcop.net) that can be used to filter most of the SPAM that a server receives. While this has been great for most of us (enabling a RBL is a simple as [...]
Recently I was asked by a customer how to change the default Apache success page (the one that you see when you just type in the hostname for example). Surprisingly (or maybe not) this is not documented anywhere on cpanel docs or forums.
