  • 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.

outgoing mail stuck due to spamassassin

jorge ceballos

Regular Pleskian
Hi,
Have a server using Plesk 9.5.2 completely updated using qmail and atomic's spamassasin along with plesk's.
The last 2 days outgoing mails have suddenly stopped and watchdog informs of spamassassin stopped working.
Even the service is restarted - or seems like - smtp server appears to be down when trying to send a mail.
Logmail reads: connect(AF_UNIX) to spamd /tmp/spamd_full.sock failed: No such file or directory

what I did first was "sa-learn --dump magic" followed by "sa-learn --sync -D" and restarted spamassassin from the control panel ( as "/etc/init.d/spamassassin start" says I don't have enough permissions!! ).
Still,outgoing mail was stuck.
Checked saslauthd but it was running, still restarted to no avail.
stopped all the mail services as well as spamassassin from the control panel and then cd into /tmp and erased all files ".spamassassin*" .
restarted the services and everything is working fine again.

What can be the problem or cause? and how can we avoid this? this server has been running w/o problem for more than a year now.

TIA,
