Using the Plesk Patches available here,

http://kb.swsoft.com/article_22_1088_en.html

I still have the same question more than 1 year later

DeanW,

Your reply does not answer my post as on the link you have provided there is no mention of Multilog.

The question is:

Can I compile Qmail for Plesk with Multilog? Will everything still function as it's supposed to? Will all my stats still be updated as they are supposed to? Any tips for compiling Qmail for Multilog? I really would like an answer. Qmail is so unmanageable.

Sorry, I don't know how to do that... Plesk probably expects the current format... Why do you need multi-log? Maybe you can use these instructions (do a "Find" on the page for "multilog") http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/admin.html

qmail isn't unmanageable - it comes "barebones" and then you patch it how you like. Yes, patches are a bit tricky for the novice but it becomes easier with experience. As an email list software and support provider I find it one of the simpler and more effective MTAs.

Why do you need multi-log?

For SNMP Management.

Try using it with Greylisting or limiting the maximum number of recipients per message.

What the point of a control panel then? You get an e-mail server with it that needs patching? For years people have been unhappy with Qmail and Plesk and SWSoft has spent very little time addressing this issue. I am like many other people praying Plesk is going to release Postfix support soon and apparently it's in the pipeline...but in the meanwhile we have to "fix" a product that has had no source code updates in years and just hasn't kept up with the times.
