• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Qmail automatically shutdown

Hi,
We have a Linux server with CentOS distribution and we use Plesk 7.5.4 control panel.

The system use Qmail as MTA, which seems to work fine except for one thing. It randomly stops itself several times a day. To get the service work again we need to manually restart it.



/var/log/messages just displays:
======================
Nov 30 13:09:12 server qmail: qmail-send shutdown succeeded
======================



/var/log/maillog gives some more information
======================

======================

Everything starts with "Nov 30 13:09:05 server qmail-queue: drweb-qmail[3792]: possible qmail-smtpd exited by timeout, reset connection or with "See http://pobox.com/~djb/docs/smtplf.html." and a few seconds later it exits.

Why is this happening ? and how can this be fix ?
