  • 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.

Resolved How to disable log for mails (smtp, ingoing, Spamassassin) ?

Hi there

I use Plesk 18.x "Obsidian" in Debian 10.

Question: How to disable log for mails (smtp, ingoing, Spamassassin) ?

So i saw, many files in directory /var/log will get HUGE after sending mass mails with (some with attachements)

E.g. the following files:

/var/log/sa-update.log
/var/log/maillog.processed



Questions:


1.) Regarding Spamassassin, which creates the file /var/log/maillog.processed: Why the file sa-update.log gets HUGE (~35GB) if there a ALMOST NO INCOMING mails? Does Spamassassin also check EVERY outgoing mail so it seems?

2.) How can i disable (or decrease at lease!!) the "general" mail logging which logs to the file /var/log/maillog.processed?

3.) I executed that commands...

cat /dev/null > maillog.processed
cat /dev/null > sa-update.log

...to empty that huge files, but the "df" command still shows me a 99% usage on root partition - which makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!! (WTF...)

Code:
root@xyz:/var/log# df
Filesystem        1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ploop34327p1  51472864 48601436    653260  99% /

tmpfs               1048576       16   1048560   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs               1048576     9436   1039140   1% /run
tmpfs                  5120       20      5100   1% /run/lock
none                1048576        0   1048576   0% /run/shm
tmpfs                209712        0    209712   0% /run/user/0

The plesk server is virtualized. But why there are only 653260 bytes left on /-parition after emptying the files maillog.processed AND sa-update.log ? Makes no sense i.m.o.

Thank you very much for your feedbacks
