Stop postfix until required

New Pleskian
Hi,

Sorry if it has already been asked, but I did not find it.

We have one of our server where we have sites but due to security/spam issues we don't want postfix to be there on that machine. So, when I stop the postfix service it is started again after sometime. Can you let me klnow how can I stop the postfix until I need it for some reason.

Regards,
Farmi
 
It is not good idea to stop MTA completely in Plesk. Many Plesk and OS functionality depends on it. I think that precise firewalling and fail2banning would be better solution.
