• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

spam mail in qmail queue

New Pleskian
I routinely notice multiple spam messages in the qmail queue and I don't know how to track how they are originating. Can someone give guidance?

Here is an example:

Code:
Received: (qmail 5897 invoked for bounce); 26 Apr 2014 11:02:21 -0400

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at myserver.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<kyhqy2de@isac-hermes.com>:
