• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • 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.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

I`m very sure that it is watchdog which produced it.
Any idea how to prevent that?
 
Yes, those are produced by Watchdog. But those are also expected log entries (and not caused by error or anything). If these log entries bother you, you could disable Dovecot monitoring in Watchdog.

Sounds like a soution but not a real solution.
Watchdog should be able to login.
 
Logging in would produce even more log entries, so I'm not sure that would improve things.
