Plesk 8.3 Bug (and bug fix) - Watchdog spamassassin problem

nforde

Basic Pleskian
There is a bug with Watchdog in Plesk 8.3.

Watchdog doesn't get the response it expects from Spamassassin so it incorrectly thinks Spamassassin is permanently down, and it stops checking Spamassassin after 5 attempts.

The fix is simple -

Update "SPAMD/1.2 0 PONG" to "SPAMD/1.4 0 PONG" in /usr/local/psa/etc/modules/watchdog/monitrc

Can someone please ensure this fix is included in the next Plesk version/build.

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post bugs (and bug fixes). If not, can someone please pass this on to the Plesk programmers.

ps. This issue has been discussed at http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?t=50242 - Thanks to 'tany' for posting the fix!
