Resolved Plesk 18.0.41/AlmaLinux: Mails are suddenly not sent or recieved anymore

[lutsoft]

Server operating system version

AlmaLinux

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.41

My recieved emails are qued since yesterday and I also cannot send email anymore. I already updated Plesk Email Security but that did not fix it. An example error when sending an email to one of my domains:

2022-05-13 16:13:44

postfix/smtp[112497]

E9BEF1A418EB: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=0.47, delays=0.47/0/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

Regards, Martijn

I appears that amavisd won't start anymore. Any suggestions to fix this?

Fixed it by removing Plesk Email Security.
