• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Hello,
I have a problem after hacking the server to send spam from my mailboxes.

I have dozens or even hundreds of such processes all the time:
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
postfix 12689 0.4 0.0 107076 5196 ? S 08:19 0:00 \_ error -n retry -t unix -u
postfix 12690 0 9 0.0 107112 5212 ? S 08:19 0:00 \_ bounce -z -n defer -t unix -u
postfix 12227 0.7 0.0 107608 7588 ? S 08:18 0:00 \_ smtp -n plesk-138.201.50.160- -t unix -u -o smtp_bind_address=138.201.50.160 -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4 -o inet_protocols=ipv4postfix 12231 0.2

I get a lot of alerts: lfd on bendlight.eu: High 5 minute load average alert - 6.40
1 Min Load Avg: 15.05
5 Min Load Avg: 6.40
15 Min Load Avg: 4.39
