• 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.

Qmail user null & spam open

Roberto Nunez

Basic Pleskian
Hello,
I can detect a lot of spam with Qmail, I have:

10:07:47 mail relaylock: /var/qmail/bin/relaylock: mail from 208.53.42.33:3140 (not defined)
10:07:48 mail smtp_auth: SMTP connect from (null)@(null) [208.53.42.33]
10:07:48 mail smtp_auth: smtp_auth: SMTP user postmaster : logged in from (null)@(null) [208.53.42.33]

The issue appear for others accounts, How is possible that connect from null???

Is it a database issue, Qmail, other?

This issue is a big open door for spammer.

CentOS 5.4 - Plesk 9.5.1

Thanks for any suggest.

Hi Igor,
Yes, I tried rkhunter and chkrootkit with goods results. Is normal mail smtp_auth: SMTP connect from (null)@(IP) [208.53.42.33]??

Thanks!
