o /usr/local/cpanel/bin/build_apache_conf
* add custom directives in virtual host entries
o see apache custom virtual host entries

[edit]
Exim

* if a domain is getting mail bombed or joejobbed then delete everything in the que for just that domain
o exiqgrep -i -r @domain.tld |xargs exim -Mrm

* files
o /etc/mailips => sets alternate ip for a domain to be used as the from ip instead of main ip
o example usage: sloshdat.ru: 1.2.3.4

*
o /etc/mail_reverse_dns => should be the same as the reverse lookup for the main mailip
o example usage: 1.2.3.4: host.sloshdat.ru

*
o /etc/localdomains => domains that have mx record resolve locally belong here with exception of domains that have their remote mx mail server filtering mail and sending back to this server
o example error in /etc/exim_mainlog will say," lowest numbered MX record points to local host" if the domain is missing from this file when it should belong here

*
o /etc/remotedomains => domains that have mx record resolve to a remote server belong here

[edit]
Security

* bfd located in /usr/local/bfd
o cronjob runs from /etc/cron.d/bfd every 10 minutes.
