• 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.

SMTP Service Shutdown

I just received a panic call from a client saying their email wasn't working. When I checked Plesk, it showed the SMTP Service stopped. I of course restarted it.

Any ideas on why the service would just up and stop, all by itself. Is there a log somewhere that I can view that may hold some answers? Is it something that I'm running?

Thanks!
 
I've had this happening randomly on 2 of my PSA boxes as well. It's a fairly new development, so I'm assuming it came via one of Plesks "updates" that they never show us changelogs for.
 
Watchdog was causing this a while back, try disabling it if it's installed.
 
I disabled watchdog and thus far, no more random shutdowns. Bad doggy!
