  • 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.

Resolved Autoresponder automatic turn off feature doesn't function

HMnet

Basic Pleskian
Hi to all!

My server on Plesk 12.5.30 MU74 (Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS) doens't turn off the mail-autoresponder at the designated date. Two weeks ago I set an antoresponder for an email-address, that should be turned off at 19/02/2018. Today I checked the autoresponder and it's still active an the "turn-off-date" is still checked.
The server-date ist correct - anybody an idea?

Yours,
Thomas
 
Servertime and MySQL-Servertime are the same.

I checked the processes:
root 1298 0.0 0.0 285248 36444 ? S 06:29 0:00 /usr/bin/sw-engine -c /opt/psa/admin/conf/php.ini /opt/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/task-script.php ExecuteStatistics --period=daily
root 18881 0.0 0.0 13980 928 pts/1 S+ 09:43 0:00 grep --color=auto DailyMaintainance
root 27674 0.0 0.0 286780 37804 ? S 06:25 0:00 /usr/bin/sw-engine -c /opt/psa/admin/conf/php.ini /opt/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php

The DailyMaintainance-Script was running,,,
I killed it with kill -9 and restartet it with:
/usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f AutoresponderEndDate

Now the ps aux | grep DailyMaintainance command shows:
root 1298 0.0 0.0 285248 36444 ? S 06:29 0:00 /usr/bin/sw-engine -c /opt/psa/admin/conf/php.ini /opt/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/task-script.php ExecuteStatistics --period=daily
root 21854 0.0 0.0 13980 924 pts/1 S+ 09:47 0:00 grep --color=auto DailyMaintainance

Seems like the task hangs...
 
OK. Problem is located ;):

The task /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php starts 6.30 am every morning and ends 5.30 pm in the afternoon. So the turn-off-point from the autoresponder is at the end of that task, which is 18 hours after the end-date. I have to calculate the during of the task in the designated end-date.

No idea why this task last so long. Ok, there are a lot of websites on the server - but 12 hours...
