  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Hi,

first of all make sure the cron service is active.

Then check this file: /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog, it should have the log rotation config for maillog.

Also you should have this file: /etc/cron.daily/logrotate that does the log rotation every day if the cron service is active (again, check that first).

(I work on Debian, I assume the Ubuntu files and folders are the same).
 
Thanks for your answer. If Plesk Obsedian is installed /var/log/maillog is not "logrotated" at all. Normally, the Plesk Daily Maintenance Task processes it, which should create the /var/log/maillog.processed file and an empty /var/log/maillog file. This does for some reason not work on this server. But on my other Plesk Obsidian servers (Ubuntu 22.04 or 20.04) it works.

/var/log/maillog.processed (if it exists) is rotated by the Plesk own logrotate routine. This Rotation is defined in
/usr/local/psa/etc/logrotate.conf
