Zone Transfer et Xinetd

Hello everybody,

First, excuse me for my bad english, i'm french.

In my Plesk 8.3 server (FC6, 1024Mb RAM), i have two questions about my file /var/log/messages. It contain the following lines and I don't know why :

1. Theses lines appear every 5 seconds approximately i've lot lot lot of this messages

Feb 24 00:31:36 myhost.com xinetd[1828]: EXIT: smtp status=1 pid=24747 duration=22(sec)
Feb 24 00:34:26 myhost.com xinetd[1828]: START: smtp pid=24765 from=200.32.229.248

Feb 24 00:35:54 myhost.com xinetd[1828]: EXIT: smtp status=1 pid=24801 duration=4(sec)


2. And now, I have this lines, who they correspond of all domains in my Plesk server :

Feb 24 00:42:15 myhost.com named[1990]: client 213.246.33.228#49330: zone transfer 'domain1.com/AXFR/IN' denied

Feb 24 00:42:20 myhost.com named[1990]: client 213.246.33.228#41874: zone transfer 'domain3.com/AXFR/IN' denied

Feb 24 00:42:25 myhost.com named[1990]: client 213.246.33.228#43738: zone transfer 'domain10.ch/AXFR/IN' denied

the IP 213.246.33.228 isn't mine, she's the range address of my Hoster

Can you help me ?

regarding first lines:
looks like normal mail exange. check /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat, if it says something like several thousands, then you are spammed

the second set:
Feb 24 00:42:25 myhost.com named[1990]: client 213.246.33.228#43738: zone transfer 'domain10.ch/AXFR/IN' denied
this means that some outer DNS (your hoster runs own dns, that is for sure) wants to synchronize your zone with it and is not allowed to do so. DNS's that are allowed to sync zones with Plesk are setup in Domains->[domain]->DNS->Zone transfers.

Hello,

First, thank for your support ! I've don't see your response since you've posted it.

1. For the messages (... smtp status ...) i've executed your command and all stats are at 0

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 0
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

I've resolved this problem, it's the MX Rescue of my hoster who try to send me mails for my domains.

2. But for the second messages, "zone transfer 'domain10.ch/AXFR/IN' denied" I've try see the configuration "My principal domain >> DNS >> Zone Transfers" but I don't have the "Zone Transfers" choice in DNS page.

I've 5 buttons :

Switch Off DNS Service
Switch DNS Service Mode
Add record
SOA Record
Restore Defaults
