• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Fixing clogged qmail queues

EMerkel

New Pleskian
I seem to have a persistent problem where every so often qmail stops delivering mail and messages start piling up in the preprocess queue.

When you've got 1000's of messages it is hard to figure out which one is the problem email. Does anyone have suggestions on tracking this down?

Secondly, I used qmail-remove to place all emails in the /var/qmail/queue/yanked directory. I want to start adding emails back in a handful at a time. What is the proper procedure to get these emails back in queue to be delivered?

Lastly, I am using qmail because of the use of short names but I am curious does postfix have this same kind of problem happen to it? If not I might have to bite the bullet and switch to postfix....

Thanks,
Eric
