Suddenly I've got problems with my Mail Server on Sunday, March 20th 2022 at 1:15 pm (PST)
My mail server got email spoofing attack, that's why my server got down a few times.
It's all about spamd startup configuration failed to start.
The vulnerable security settings on major software changes:
  • Firewall
  • Zend Engine
  • Ioncube
  • Php secure
  • MySql
and many RBL vendor sites flagged blacklist to my mail server.
My private email address flooded with complain from many sources.
I've been working for 48 hours to fixing and re-configuring my mail server from the vulnerable security setting
and all of my websites re-setting too...
without even sleep...
and as a result...
finally on Wednesday, March 23rd 2022 at : 7:33 pm (PST) everything's working fine.

Background Process Killer

According cPanel in WHM...
Home /System Health /Background Process Killer

You can configure WHM to kill any of the following processes and send you an email when it finds one of them. Malicious users may run an IRC bouncer on their shell accounts even though this may be against your policy. WHM detects these processes correctly even if the bouncer is renamed (e.g. to something that appears non-malicious like “pine”, to give the impression that the user is just reading email).

Please check the names of any programs you do not want running on your server; we recommend that you check them all since letting users run IRC bots and servers usually leads to denial-of-service attacks.

Processes
(v) BitchX
(v) bnc
(v) eggdrop
(v) generic-sniffers
(v) guardservices
(v) ircd
(v) psyBNC
(v) ptlink
(v) services

Keep Trusted users (optional)* with blank text...
And Click the Save Button.

Apache mod_userdir Tweak

Home /Security Center /Apache mod_userdir Tweak

Apache httpd’s mod_userdir makes URLs like “http://example.com/~fred” resolve to the indicated user’s (for example, the user “fred”’s) primary web virtual host.

In the above scenario, the transferred data counts against the bandwidth limit for the user that owns “example.com”, not against “fred”’s bandwidth limit. This is often an undesirable behavior.

WHM’s mod_userdir Protection feature addresses this problem by restricting mod_userdir to URLs whose users own the URL’s domains.

Thick mark --> Enable mod_userdir Protection
Untick mark/blank all of the host for:
Exclude Protection option --> blank,
additional user --> blank.
And Click the Save Button.

To get more secure, stable and faster mail server on Exim configuration tweaks... and to get rid out from these:
Spammers, Abusers, Phishing attack...
and for the mitigation purpose, I've already blocked or rejected Dovecot connection Authentication process failure, TLS error on connection, SMTP error connection with TCP/IP call and inbound emails from all over the world:

Blocked Countries
Your server rejects mail that originates from these countries. (A new browser tab will appear.)

except from :

Trusted legal mail user
Users on the system that may set the From: header to anything they like when "Rewrite From: header to match actual sender" is enabled.

Trusted IP's Address
IP addresses exempt from all SMTP sender, recipient, spam, and relaying checks. IP addresses you enter here are stored in /etc/skipsmtpcheckhosts.
These senders must still use an RFC-compliant HELO name if the Require RFC-compliant HELO setting is enabled.

within WHM:
Home /Service Configuration /Exim Configuration Manager/ Basic Editor Tab /Access List

Now my mail server running excellent using CSF-firewall, compiled with sleek WHM exim configuration tweaks!
