• 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.

Use xinetd or init.d to restart qmail?

I just went through a crazy weekend of wrestling with qmail. It would show as running, but not accept connections.

Finally my ISP told me to do the follwoing:

1) Stop using the /etc/init.d/qmail restart command
2) Rename /etc/xinetd.d/smtp.psa to smtp_psa
3) Use /etc/init.d/xinetd restart to bounce qmail

I have a few quesitons around this and would appreciate any anwers or a link to a site that explains it.

1) When I click restart form the Plesk console, which command is executed?

2) When I run "/sbin/chkconfig --list" it shows qmail as active with all the regular services AND under xinetd services. Is the init.d version or the xinetd version going to start if I reboot my server?

3) Which is the preferred configuration?

I am on Fedro Core 2 with Plesk 7.5.4. I appreciate the help!
