  • 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.

Backup and Quota

UweP

Regular Pleskian
Hi all. I have 2 problems:

Firstly I wonder if there is any possibility to limit the number of cores the plesk backup zipping tool uses? This pigz takes up all my CPU. Is there any way I can reduce the amount of cores it uses because all my websites are down every time a backup takes place for around 3 minutes.

Secondly I get the following in my syslog:
1 baby plesk sendmail[20189]: Error during 'check-quota' handler

I don't know what is wrong. I think it's since the upgrade to Plesk 12. I now have 12.0.18 Update #13.

Thank you for your help! :)
 
It's saying something like:
Aug 20 06:34:52 baby check-quota filter[25480]: Some args not defined. Use /opt/psa/handlers/hooks/check-quota <CONTEXT> <FROM> <RECIPIENTS_LIST>
Aug 20 06:34:52 baby plesk sendmail[25479]: handlers_stderr: Some args not defined. Use /opt/psa/handlers/hooks/check-quota <CONTEXT> <FROM> <RECIPIENTS_LIST>
Aug 20 06:34:52 baby plesk sendmail[25479]: Error during 'check-quota' handler

Would be really nice if someone could help me.
 
I've done whats written there but I still get the same errors:

1 baby check-quota filter[22178]: Some args not defined. Use /opt/psa/handlers/hooks/check-quota <CONTEXT> <FROM> <RECIPIENTS_LIST>
1 baby plesk sendmail[22177]: handlers_stderr: Some args not defined. Use /opt/psa/handlers/hooks/check-quota <CONTEXT> <FROM> <RECIPIENTS_LIST>
1 baby plesk sendmail[22177]: Error during 'check-quota' handler
 
I solved the problem restoring the file /var/lib/plesk/mail/handlers/handlers.db and the /usr/local/psa/handlers/ directory with a backup made before the upgrade.

I don't know if this is a "safe" solution.
 
Hello UweP,

the first suggestion is to update your Plesk version and re-install the latest patches:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base


Afterwards, you could use the Plesk integrated Mailchecker and restore some basic settings:

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam


If this still didn't help, I would suggest to use the Plesk bootstrapper, which repairs a lot of issues and/or misconfigurations:

/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.0.18-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair
