• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

    Spamdyke blacklist and whitelist issues Hey Folks -- this thread has been incredibly helpful. Spamdyke is working great on my system, for the most part, and I'm very pleased. I still have an issue using the blacklists and whitelists. They are not working. Here are a few lines from...

    More spamdyke issues I noticed today that my smtp service had been hacked. Someone was spamming using my server. They were using the "backup" user to log in, so I removed that user. I also put their IP in the blacklist_ip file, and the email address they were sending from in the...

    Thanks so much for your help. Everything is working great. I still have the bogus "not running" icon for smtp in the Plesk interface, but I can live with that. Since yesterday at 6 p.m. spamdyke has blocked 98,000 emails, or about 95% of incoming. Server is purring. Lovely.

    spamdyke for Plesk on Debian

    spamdyke question Nice effort on the package, Peter! Have you noticed a problem with the qmail smtp icon in the Service Management section of the Plesk control panel showing qmail as not running even though it is when spamdyke is added to the xinetd startup? Any idea how to resolve it...

    addendum In regards to my last post, in fact, it appears qmail smtp is running correctly. However, the Plesk control panel icon under "Service Management" says it isn't. Art

    Spamdyke One more issue. I got spamdyke compiled and installed. It works fine, but interferes with qmail when running. I'm probably missing something. Here's the edited line from /etc/inetd.conf: smtp stream tcp nowait.1000 root /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env -Rt0 /usr/bin/env...

    One more question Felix, you mention in your first post editing smtp(s)_psa to limit the number of mail processes. However, as you may be aware, with 8.6, Plesk weirdly chose to move the functionality that was in smtp_psa to the /etc/inetd.conf file. Do you know how to set those variables in...

    Great Suggestions That sounds like a great way to go. I plan to install Spamdykes immediately. Felix and Ragefast, I would love to see your spamdyke.conf files as a jumping off point. Many thanks for your responses.

    That's a possible idea. Would you suggest running a second copy of Plesk on the dedicated mail server, or just using standard tools (qmail, postfix, or exim)? The pre-filter machine I already have working amounts to an "inline appliance" already.

    I am running Plesk 8.6 on Debian Linux with a dual 3.6 Xeon server, 4 GB RAM. My server is beginning to strain a bit, frequently showing load averages of 2.5 +, and occasionally getting as high at 5 or 6. Most of the effort is running spamd to manage mail. We're handling about 150,000...

    Qmail sending from unauthorized domains

    Thanks so much. I am not making myself clear. I don't know WHICH yahoo.com address, if any, is being sent FROM by computer, so I can't "grab one" as you say. I only have a report, generated by a qmail reporting utility, that says 2,000 messages were sent from the domain yahoo.com. It doesn't...

    Qmail sending from unauthorized domains

    Thanks for the reply. I understand how to look at messages in the queue, but I don't really understand how to tell from the maillog where the message originated (and therefore be able to tell which message in the queue to look at). The mail report seems to indicate that many messages from the...

    Qmail sending from unauthorized domains

    Friends -- looking at my qmail queue, I see many messages originating from domains other than those on my server. I ran a maillog report using Lire, and find over 2,000 messages per day being sent from Yahoo.com. I fear my server is spamming, but I don't understand how these messages are...

    Plesk Interface Login Glitch after Update to 8.1.1

    After updating to 8.1.1, a weird glitch developed. Users can log into webmail, get their pop and imap mail, and generally things are working. However, logging into the Plesk interface at my.<domain name>.net no longer works using the email name and password. If I reset the email password (to...

    FTP Upload Problems

    Correct way to do reverse dns PTR records with multiple domains

    PTR Records yes, you're right. I've begun that process, but there are lots of domains to edit. I could not see how to tell the template that it should not put in a ptr record. Help on that would be appreciated.

    Correct way to do reverse dns PTR records with multiple domains

    Thanks Thanks for that. I received the same information from someone else, and edited the in-addr.arpa file to include a single entry for the IP address that hosts many domains. This resolved all the rDNS problems we were having with other email servers. Of course, everytime a domain is...
