• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Basic Pleskian
TITLE:
/usr/local/psa/handlers/spool full of old emails
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk Onyx 17.8.11 Update #73, CentOS 7.7.1908
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Filing a bug report per advice in other topic: Issue - /usr/local/psa/handlers/spool full of old emails

I noticed our harddisc was almost full today, and upon investigating I found /usr/local/psa/handlers/spool full of old emails, literally hundreds of thousands.

I found this topic: /usr/local/psa/handlers/spool full of e-mails

It states the issue was resolved in Plesk 12.0 but I'm running Plesk v17.8.11 and the emails aren't getting deleted for us.

The messages log contains

This is known issue PPPM-7166. We've also created PPPM-11269 and PPP-46178 to add the spool cleanup (as was proposed initially).

The specific crash reason, in this case, is unknown — not enough information to reproduce.
 
@IgorG is there a temporary solution for this? I found out today that my folder /usr/local/psa/handlers/spool also contains quite a few files (even recent ones). Can we safely delete all these files?
 
Is there a bigger list of such potential issues that we can check?
In Plesk Obsidian Changelog you can see how many issues were already fixed since Obsidian release. Of course, this can only be your decision. But I want to note that we strongly recommend that everyone upgrade and the vast majority of our customers have long switched to Obsidian and are very pleased with this new Plesk version.
