• 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.

Request: configuring xinetd limits

Golden Pleskian
By default qmail under Plesk is configured to allow an unlimited (!) number of processes and has no limits on the number of processes per IP or load limits. Spam runs can easily cause servers to spawn hundreds of qmail processes and make the load go through the roof. It is possible to configure various limits (processes, per_source, max_load) in /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa and /etc/xinetd.d/smtps_psa manually, but it would be very nice if this could be configured through Plesk's web interface. Maybe some sane defaults (instead of unlimited) would be a good idea as well.
