  • 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.

Dr Web, do I need it?

Basic Pleskian
Hi there, I use the mailenable server to send submitted web forms only, there are no clients using the server for day to day mail stuff. In this case do I need to have Dr Web antivirus running on my server? Just that it uses 280MB of ram and I wouldn't mind freeing that up if I don't need the AV running.

Cheers!
 
Hi Andrew_Newth,

it's really your very own choice, what sort of security software you use on your server. Plesk works as well without a firewall and without an anti-virus software, but do you really want to have a server, without the possibilty to scan suspicious messages and files? RAM is really cheap these days, but loss of data, or even possible legal actions against you are much more expensive. :rolleyes:
