mchk takes hours because of Dr. Web

eugenevdm

Regular Pleskian
I cannot use mchk on my system because we have 12 000 mailboxes and it appears that mchk runs through each individual mailbox to see if the service / handler is functioning properly.

This command is repeated 12 000 times:

/opt/psa/admin/bin/drwebmng --add-check --mailname [email protected] --type any --no-restart-service

What must I do? I cannot take my mail system offline every time a handler goes corrupt because I would have to close my business.
 
I can suggest you only to separate your mailboxes with migration some domains to different Plesk servers. Or just schedule mchk running on night hours and notify your clients.
