• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is 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.

Qmail Logging Problem

ronron

New Pleskian
Hi!

An employee-PC catched a virus, because he was surfing on "non-work-related-sites" :rolleyes:
This virus used the MS Outlook-Installation on the PC, which used my qmail-Mailserver to send over 100.000 Spam Mails which jammed the mailserver.

What I have done so far:
- Cutted the virus PC from the network
- Stopped the qmail service (etc/init.d/qmail stop)
- Deleted the Mail-Queue in the server (This took a few minutes)
- Restarted the qmail service

But I still have a problem, and I don't know how to fix this:

The mailserver does send mails again, however the logfiles are beeing flodded with a message, that I don't understand.

There thousands of messages like that!!
/var/log/mail.info
Code:
Dec  3 09:33:21 s15349137 qmail-queue-handlers[9671]: Handlers Filter before-queue for qmail started ...

Dec  3 09:33:21 s15349137 qmail-queue-handlers[9678]: Handlers Filter before-queue for qmail started ...

Please help me to get rid of these messages!
What do I have to do?
Thank you very much!
