Thank you for your thoughtful comments.

We are a small, London-based hosting company without plans to rapidly grow. We don't aim to offer the cheapest hosting, because there are multi-million dollar American companies that wipe the floor on that. You probably have ten or a hundred times as many customers as we do. But we've been...

Finally deployed our first Ampere Altra-Max powered server in our rack. Been working towards this for about 2 or 3 years now. Looking forward to trumpeting this as "Green Hosting" in our marketing material. let's see how that lands with our customers.

When new branches of tech come out, we're left wondering whether these will be 'the future' or whether they will grow slowly and then be pruned off due to lack of support / backing from developers. Compare what Apple have done with ARM, compared with what Microsoft have done with ARM. So...

Using this method?

When you say 'removing qmail', do you mean replacing it with postfix? I wasn't aware that it was possible to completely remove all MTAs from a Plesk install. My understanding was that you must either have qmail or postfix installed?

Can the default page in subscriptions be set to the MAIL tab, instead of WEBSITES & DOMAINS tab? Some of our Plesk servers are used exclusively as email servers.

I note that some people on this thread have already purchased their Ampere Altra servers. I'm curious how easy it was to get your server to boot - did you have to compile the kernel, use a bespoke pre-compiled kernel for that CPU, any special driver problems, (eg lack of support for onboard NICs) ?

Hi - I recently purchased an M2 Mac mini to be able to try different ARM Linux versions (running in a Parallels Desktop Virtual Machine). This is what I found: 1.) AlmaLinux 8.8 aarch64 - I could not get this to boot 2.) AlmaLinux 9.2 aarch64 - I could get this to boot and was able to fully...

I have a similar issue. I don't really mind what the DKIM key is, because this can be queried from the Plesk DNS server using a host lookup (eg nslookup). However, the issue for me (and I think for the original poster) is how to turn on the DKIM flag for a particular subscription. I can see...

I did get Plesk 18.x working on Rocky Linux in the end. I did it by installing about 6 CentOS8 packages before starting the installer. However, as it's not officially supported, I won't be deploying any VMs using Rocky Linux yet. My purpose in installing it was to gain an understanding of how...

I've just installed Rocky Linux and observed that, as expected, it's just like CentOS8 except with different branding. However, I'm curious how you fooled the Plesk installer that the OS was CentOS8, as the methods I tried didn't work.

Thank you for your reply. "Maildir" refers not to a command, but to a method of storing a mail spool. Maildir is an alternative to the old spool file where all messages were in a single file. With Maildir, folders are allowed (which are mapped to folders on the filesystem of your hard disk)...

As the script must be run as root, it would be inadvisable as well as difficult to run it from the Plesk Dashboard. Another approach might be to run my script as a cron job for all users. This would also solve the problem of users renaming or deleting vital IMAP folders like "Sent" without...

You're welcome. No warranty of course! You can see that you may list the folders you wish the script to create. The script should be run as root (otherwise the permissions cannot be set correctly). I call it "folders.pl" and you invoke it from the command line something like this...
