I have a VPS and I have the option to make a "snapshot" of the complete VPS. This is an image of the complete VPS, so in my case CentOs6 + Plesk11 + Atomic Secured Linux + some other extra services and components. And of course all the websites and mail of all my customers. In case of problems I can restore this VPS snapshot within a few minutes.
A few days ago I had to restore this image of my VPS, due to a complete server failure that I couldn't fix. However, the snapshot function is not automatic, and my last manual snapshot was from July 27. After restoring the snapshot, my VPS was happily running again, and due to the vacation period only minimal content had been changed by me or my clients and it could easily be redone. So, the damage was minimal and I praised the snapshot function.
However, and here's my problem, all "old" email is being resent. Not all at once, but continuously, like today is July 30. Tomorrow I will get the old mail I already got on July 31, etc. My clients receive their old email for the second time as well of course. But new mail is coming in as well, so it looks like there are two concurrent mail streams running.
I don't know if it's a Plesk problem or a CentOs problem though. Both Plesk and CentOs have correct date stamps, so it isn't a matter of simply adjusting the date, I think. But I don't have a clue where to look to fix this. Maybe anyone here has some idea? Any help would be appreciated!
