Role based prefixes (user/, reseller/, admin/) have been removed from all URLs. Pages can still be accessed with old URLs, but this may be removed in a future release.

Direct spam-checking service integration into Exim update

The Exim mail server configuration is updated to have direct integration with spam-checking services Rspamd or SpamAssassin.

In previous DirectAdmin versions there were three different ways of performing spam checking:

• Exim and SpamAssassin without Easy Spam Fighter. It used outdated integration that uses custom Exim transport.
• Exim and SpamAssassin with Easy Spam Fighter. This mode disables legacy integration. Easy Spam Fighter would use SpamAssassin for spam checking.
• Exim and Rspamd with Easy Spam Fighter. In this mode, Easy Spam Fighter would use Rspamd for spam checking.

The new Exim configuration has direct integration with spam-checking services. Using Easy Spam Fighter is no longer mandatory. Key benefits of the new configuration structure:

• When SpamAssassin is used without Easy Spam Fighter, the Exim server will use modern spam-checking integration. Same integration that would be used with Easy Spam Fighter. This means spam can be rejected with Exim ACLs while the SMTP session is still active. Instead of accepting the message and checking for spam later.
• It is now possible to use Rspamd without Easy Spam Fighter.
• It is now possible to use Easy Spam Fighter without a spam-checking service (spamd=no in CustomBuild options.conf file).

Notable configuration changes on the system:

• Exim spam checking configuration will be stored in these files:
  • /etc/exim/spamd.global.conf
  • /etc/exim/spamd.acl_smtp_data.conf
• Spam configuration files are included in the main /etc/exim.conf file.
• Old rspamd configuration files in /etc/exim/rspamd are removed.
• The legacy integration configuration file /etc/exim.spamassassin.conf is removed.

cpanel restore: LetsEncrypt/ZeroSSL: ensure domain.com.cert.creation_time fix

When a cpanel backup is converted to a DirectAdmin backup before a restore, the .creation_time files were not being created, preventing auto-renewal of LetsEncrypt certificates. This fix creates the missing files during conversion.
