    Fellow Modx Evangelist,

    I have installed Modx on 6 accounts without incident.

    After installing Modx 0.9.6 on my root domain account, I received this
    server warning from my dedicated hosting provider.

    "Below are the recently upload scripts that contain code to send e-mail.
    You may wish to inspect them to ensure they are not sending out SPAM."

    assets/cache/siteCache.idx.php
    assets/snippets/jot/jot.class.inc.php
    includes/controls/class.phpmailer.php
    (all to various ports)

    I have permissions set:
    assets/cache (777)
    assets/cache/siteCache.idx.php(666)
    assets/cache/sitePublishing.idx.php(666)
    assets/export (777)
    assets/images (777)
    manager/includes/config.inc.php(444)

    Server info:
    WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.11.0-R16983
    CENTOS Enterprise 4.4 i686 - WHM X v3.1.0
    PHP 4.4.7

    This is my root domain (not root IP).
    Does anyone know, if this normal Modx behavior or something of a concern?


    Thank you so much.

      I get those from my server every time I install MODx or add a snippet/module that mails. This is just a warning from your server that such a script was installed, and you should be aware of it just in case something is wrong.

        That is a cPanel feature that warns you if any mail script is uploaded, it runs daily. It is really a cool feature, I host a few clients and friends and get warnings if anyone uploads a mail scripts and can check it out.
