I don't know the details of your situation, but it could have been abusing the server that you were on. I would highly encourage that you pass some of these questions back to Lunarpages via your support ticket so that they can give you the answers as to what you need to do next.

Hi George,

Actually, Qmail has not been updated for a few past years as it was so good when the last version 1.03 was released. Can you please PM me with your ticket number so I could check what happened there.

The ticket # is 828591.

They (Plesk support I guess) upgraded my Plesk to 8.4. LP support says I should be all set. I made a cursory check of my web sites and all seems to be good. I have Ruby on Rails installed on one of them but I havent had a chance to check that one out. It is for development purposes so I'm not too concerned about that one right now.

I still don't know what happened to cause the problem to begin with. Especially if what you say about qmail not being update in years is true.

Based on past experience, LP support reacted very quickly on this issue and it appears the solution is of very high quality. They recognized an issue with Plesk and did not hesitate to turn it over to Plesk support. Good job LP support!

George

Hi geolev,

I am glad to hear the upgrade went smoothly and thanks for your kind words about our support. As a pre-cautionary, can I ask you to run the following commands as root when you are connected via SSH to the server:


This should reduce the amount of resources qmail spends on receiving new connections and may help with your issues.

Did you use the root user? If not, you may need to run su - and input the root password when it asks for it after logging in as a non privileged user.
