Thanks for the advice faris, I like the idea of /etc/spamdyke.d for the config files. I've tested the domain creation portion (Event Manager) of my howto and realised that it doesn't work! I'd be very interested to know how you did the greylist directory creation, you mention that it scans...

Ok i've successfully got spamdyke working on the server but I thought I'd post my findings in case anyone else gets stuck with things or wonders how to set it up with Plesk. I found a tutorial in German on setting up spamdyke with Plesk which had some useful config examples but I found that...

Hey that looks like a great solution, thanks faris! I'd not heard of spamdyke before. I'm not sure how many POP-before-SMTP users the client has but it's definitely a possibility...

Thanks for the reminder Scott but unfortunately the server has a number of existing customers on it who all use port 25 to send so 587 isn't an option (unfortunately!). I can't believe I'm the ony one who's stuck with this problem? I guess I'll just have to bide my time... I did find...

Does anyone know why Brent Meshier's greylisting solution (see here) doesn't work on Plesk 8.3? I've just upgraded a customer to a new CentOS 5 box and wasn't aware that greylisting wouldn't work on the machine, otherwise I would have opted for 8.2.1 TIA George

Apple Mail and Plesk SMTP Auth Broken I'd just like to reiterate that Apple Mail SMTP Authentication with Plesk 7 & 8 is definitely broken. Whether it's an Apple problem or a Plesk problem I don't know but Mail is definitely unusuable for sending email with Plesk and it's not a misconfiguration.

Sounds right to me. For my setup here I created a specific user who only has read access to those tables but the plesk admin user should be fine too. Can you try running the SQL in phpMyAdmin?

Sounds like the query is failing, check that your database connection is working correctly. Did you change the host, username and password for mysql? Failing that can you try running the SQL through phpMyAdmin and see if it's the query which has a problem? Cheers George

Sorry for making you find the bugs Mr.Yes! Can you try downloading it again? I thought I was tidying up before posting it but it looks like I added a bug. Cheers George

Ah I should have said I'm running this from cron: php -d open_basedir=/var/qmail/mailnames -d safe_mode=0 -f /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/mailcheck.php I run this nightly, it's probably not a good idea to run it from an actual site. Well it won't do any harm but much better to run it from...

I should have posted this ages ago... I've updated the script from mooiesite's original version... http://www.layer1.co.uk/mailcheck.phps Cheers George

Hi Effektor, Would be interested in a translation of this if you're thinking of making it available. Cheers George

I waded into setting up greylisting as described in this thread: http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=28645 This was necessitated after seeing a huge increase in spam on my Plesk server (since 17th September or so). After setting it up yesterday at about 16.00 things have...

Hey that was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks very much indeed. I had a feeling someone else might have been here already, thanks for sharing your script. Cheers George

Recently I've needed to know the size of the largest mailboxes on a Plesk 8 box. After some quick Googling and testing I've worked out the following to email me the top 25 (or however many) mailboxes by size. #!/bin/sh cd /var/qmail/mailnames; du -hs --block-size=1024K */* | sort -nr |...

I'm using a Plesk 8.0.1 box and encountered this error message recently. I had not long before added some aliased domains to this file manually. It was the listing of these aliases which appears to have been causing the problem. I have since removed the aliased domains and the problem has...

worked out the mailman problems OK I have sorted my problems with mailman after I found the /var/logs/mailman/error file. It would seem that for some reason when Plesk or mailman is creating a list it isn't creating the "en" directory containing the templates for the various pages/textfiles...

related? I don't know if this is related but this afternoon when I discovered the above problem I had enabled a mailman list and tried posting a few messages to it as a test. Now I am starting to see bounces where my server has responded: "Remote host said: 553 sorry, that domain isn't...

I've been trying to get mailman working properly today and stumbled across a message which is repeating in my maillog (/usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog) "Sep 23 04:22:11 jayce qmail: 1127445731.770950 warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later" This message is repeating very...

I have a server which was recently upgraded to 7.5.2 (from 7.0.2). I used to be able to chown a file to apache:apache to allow a PHP script to write to it. Since the upgrade this no longer works and even though I have tried chmod 777 I am still unable to get these scripts to write to files. I...
