• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

postfix-queue - do we need it?

Regular Pleskian
I'm getting ready for the upgrade to 9.0.1 and did a practice install. I noticed postfix is configured to spawn a process for each message coming in and each going out. So the bottleneck here would be the /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-queue. I've read some problems dealing with large attachments in the program already.

So can the mail system work properly without this? I was already planning on putting in my own hooks for mail handling and would like to avoid spawning processes. I already have my own daemon to process the incoming stream of mail. If there's any important work going on in postfix-queue, I would like to make sure it gets performed, however I can't afford to fork a process for every request.

So does anyone know what postfix-queue does and is it really required? I don't use Dr. Virus, spamassasin or other mail server plugins, but will be using both webmail interfaces.
