• 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.

Spam question

tonyolm

Basic Pleskian
We have been getting abuse warnings about spam going from one server we have. We even went to the point of a full clean reload, had 4PSA go through the server and confirmed there were no comprimized scripts on the machine. plesk 7.5.2 reloaded with the fedora core on it. We also have relaying completely closed in plesk.

We have been tracking all smpt traffic and even have relaying closed which doesn't allow clients to use the server as an outgoing email server. We just can't figure out why we are getting these abuse warnings. The warnings seem legit and state the IP that might be used in the delivery of the emails. The IP is one of 4 ips on the server. All the sites on that one IP don't have any CGI or PHP scripts that even have a mail functions in them and most of pages are flat HTML. No formmails or anything at all.

One thought poped up. Some of the emails that we got warned about looks like the incoming spam that comes to the server usually to unknown users that don't even exist on the machine.

Could people be sending in abuse complaints because there are all these bounces coming out of the server?

We have been hunting down this issue for weeks now and it landed me in the hospital last week. My blood pressure hit 180 over 115 and pop I was taken to the hospital. All over this spam issue.

Has anyone else had a spam issue like this?
