  • 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.

Debian Lenny + Plesk 9.5 & qmail + clamav

New Pleskian
Debian Lenny + Plesk 9.5 & postfix + clamav (qmail)

Hi...

I tried several things found in google like qsheff & stuff... followed several right-correction suggestions here in the board but nothing helped.

I've got a Debian Lenny + actual Plesk 9.5 here out of the box. I don't want to use Dr. Web instead clamav. Stupid (sorry *g*) qmail is a bit PIA here. Anyone got tips here how to get it running or a working tutorial?!

Or maybe somehow switch to postfix and then try other ways?!

*Sigh*

for qmail, use qmail-scanner and for postfix, check out clapf. Both of these are available for centos/rhel and fedora from the atomic yum repo.
 
I'm using debian (lenny) where clapf & qmail-scanner are not available out of the box. I switched to postfix. And currently I'm experimenting with clamsmtp... Thanks anyway! Maybe I'll get back to that when I'm failing here :D

It's working very well with clamsmtp which can be easily installed with aptitude! There are several guides out there - should be easy. I only had to change the "standard" clamsmtp ports (10025 & 10026) to (for example) 5025 & 5026 from these guides because Plesk uses the other ports for whatever stuff.

I used the virusaction-script from here - the others didn't work for me: I just want get be informed when somebody sends me an eMail containing a virus. Plain going through the clamav and silent drop isn't really useful.

Guess everything a bit more easy with postfix then qmail... Mybe this helps other debian plesker's as well a bit who want to easily integrate AV :D
