• 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.

Spam filtering disabled all Mail! - Please Help! **URGENT**

Running a Plesk 8 Server with about 30 domains.

Spam was getting out of hand so applied different maps settings as suggested somewhere on the forum and enabled maps spam filtering. Spam appeared to be filetered, but virtually all other mail also except mail from the server. Attempts to change back setting resulted in fatal errors:

>>>> BEGIN ERROR

<<<<< END ERROR

Only after restart was it possible to enable disable maps settings again, however mail still didn't appear to get through. Only some mail from server, but it appears not all even. External mail appears to have been reduced to a hand-ful a day from a few hundred a day. Absolutly sure nearly all mail is not coming through.

Summary of things attempted:
1) enabling/ disabling maps spam filtering with forum suggested settings and original default settings
2) enabling/ disabling SPF spam protection
3) restart
4) communication with Plesk support since Friday, but there appears to be no responses over the week-end, after several emails and phone calls

Can do some basic command line checks, but obviously not a linux guru.

Clue as to what may be going on here? - your help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
