  • 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.

Need To Delete Files qmail-local.moved, queue.moved?

New Pleskian
I am experiencing problems with Plesk and Linux via my GoDaddy VPS that I never had in the past with a different host.

I was having Inode problems and one of the issues is they say I have "2 million emails in your mail queue" and "messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 91679"

I need to correct this issue.

When looking in var/qmail/bin/

I see

qmail-local.moved 42,088
qmail-queue.moved 19,888
qmail-remote.moved 39,932

Can these be deleted and will it help my issue?
 
Before they told me "2 million emails in your mail queue" I had found and deleted some of the 'processed' files using Putty. Not sure if it was the right thing to do, but GoDaddy refused to help so I took chance.

I found these folders that seem huge, but not sure how to or if I can delete them.
[root@ip-1-2-3-4 ~]# du -s /var/qmail/queue/info/* | sort -n
448396 /var/qmail/queue/info/14
449312 /var/qmail/queue/info/13
449780 /var/qmail/queue/info/19
451308 /var/qmail/queue/info/15
451364 /var/qmail/queue/info/21
452804 /var/qmail/queue/info/22

.
464516 /var/qmail/queue/info/10
465620 /var/qmail/queue/info/8
465676 /var/qmail/queue/info/11

I had left four of the folders 0,1,21,and 22 When they said 2 million was to many, I deleted two more folders 1 and 21.

Not sure yet, why I had so many, I do get about 1,000 emails (total) a day between two of my accounts including spam. But I don't know why any files are being left behind after they are downloaded and deleted via Outlook.
