  • 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.

Issue Fork errors postfix log

Rbm

New Pleskian
Dear experts,

Since a couple of days my server is having problems recieving and sending emails. When I check the email log I'm finding a lot of errors concerning forking. See below


postfix/master[19150]: warning: master_spawn: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable -- throttling
postfix/master[19150]: warning: master_spawn: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable -- throttling
postfix/master[19150]: warning: master_spawn: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable -- throttling

I tried searching for hours but can't find the solution to this problem. Maybe someone else has a solution.

The solution here Issue - System cannot fork? doesn't work

Thanks in advance.
 
In the mean time I tried changing my DefaultTasksMax which was 60 to DefaultTasksMax=75% which is now 300. Hopefully this is gonna work.
 
The error can also be related to SpamAssassin. Try increasing the number of allowed processed in panel.ini by

[mail]
spamAssassin.maxChildrenLimit = <new limit here>

e.g. <new limit here> = 100 or another suitable value

Thanks for your answer! I don't have spamAssassin running so I don't think this is the problem. See my numproc in /proc/user_beancounters during the day running up to 250. Max is 400. Doesn't hitting any failcnt yet.

Tried as an experiment reducing my DefaultTasksMax back to 60 but I don't see any fork messages comming up now although numproc is also over 200 after some time. Not completely understanding the logic.
