• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Problem with the mail queue

Hi there.

We're experiencing a problem with the mail queue administration on our plesk control panel (system-server-mail-mail queue).
Due to the huge traffic, the queue fills up very, very fast to the point that it's impossible for us to delete it from the Plesk Control Panel. The list page goes blank, unable to list each mail and we have to trouble the server maintainers to clear the queue. Please note that this happens very often.

Is there an option to automatically delete the mail queue in a fixed moment, e.g. every day at noon?

Thank you for your support.

If you're using MailEnable with the default paths you can use this in a batch file that you put in the task scheduler:
Code:
del /f /s /q "C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\Mail Servers\Mail Enable\Queues\SMTP\Inbound\*.*"
del /f /s /q "C:\Program Files\SWsoft\Plesk\Mail Servers\Mail Enable\Queues\SMTP\Outgoing\*.*"

Note that "\SWSoft\" may have to be replaced with "\Parallels\" in each line for new installations.
