SuPHP takes PHP scripts that normally run under the user the webserver runs them (nobody) and instead runs them as the effective owner of the PHP file itself, which in most cases is the cPanel user. The advantage here is not only for security reasons, but also that permissions can be tightened on files/directories that PHP needs write/execute access to.

The sMX by default is a very passive mail configuration, it runs a basic Exim installation and does not run all the same filters that your cPanel machine does. This is in part to ensure the sMX does not block mail you otherwise would have wanted and had your regular mail server accepting, and also to enable it to act as a mail fail over for multiple cPanel machines, each of which may have different mail restrictions in place. cpanel smx Wed, 14 Oct 2009 15:50:13 -0700 http://www.ndchost.com/wiki/cpanel/smx-zone-template?rev=1267646164&do=diff Our sMX panel makes use of secondary MX record entries to facilitate mail delivery to the sMX server.
