Plesk 11.x / Linux :: Qmail Email Messages Always In Queue
Nov 17, 2014
I have a server(godaddy) with plesk. It was all working well till 8 - 10 days ago. I didnt notice it one week later where I started receiving a lot of failed mail notices. Then on investigation, there were more then 50K spam mails in the mail queue and the mails that were supposed to be sent(registration, forgot password) were also held up in the queue. I found the source of the spam and fixed that.
Also I cleared the mail-queue. Now when I try to send out a test message, it still gets held up in the mail queue. But I can send a test mail to the same domain (info@mydomain.com). All new user registration mails are also held up and this is greatly affecting the site.

I'm having a hard time figuring why me emails are not delivered to mailboxes.
A bit of context:
OS: Ubuntu 12
Plesk pannel: 11.5
This server was supposed to be a new server (upgrade) from a previous who was working correctly (Also Linux with Plesk but both older versions).
After new server installed and websited up and running, I decided to create mailboxes and then copied all mailboxes (including emails and folders) to this new server.
First issue I got was i could not connect, until I figure out permissions were incorrect (for root after copy) and fixed it to be accessible by "popuser" (each user to access his mailbox).
Now i can connect, but new emails stay on qmail and can't be delivered to mailboxes.
Even after I have deleted the emalboxes and recreate them (now new emails are being delivered) all those emails in the queue can't be delivered.
I forced queue flush with "postqueue -f" but I get errors on the log:
(temporary failure. Command output: .qmail has prog delivery but has x bit set. (#4.7.0) 4.2.1 Message can not be delivered at this time )...
Which user should i give permissions (if that is the case) so tha both popuser (email user) and qmail/postfix can write on the mailboxes and deliver messages?

Might be a weird question, but I have a test server setup with a single domain name and I am trying to figure out an easy way to get a bunch of emails to stay in the queue, anyone have an idea?

I can receive email from all accounts and all domains.
The problem is that when sending an email to an external email (gmail., hotmail, outlook.com .... etc) this is sent to mail queue and do not leave that place.

Since upgrading to Plesk 12 I am experiencing a strange bug:
When enabling the limitation of outgoing email messages, is not possible to RECEIVE emails to a account that is only redirecting the email messages (to a different account which also lies on the server).
I reproduced this behavior on two different servers from which one is a complete reinstall.
The maillog will then show the following error when receiving mails to a redirecting address:
Aug 1 04:04:34 xxxxxx plesk sendmail[16709]: handlers_stderr: DATA REPLY:554:5.7.0 The message could not be sent. You are not allowed to use sendmail utility.#012REJECT
Aug 1 04:04:34 xxxxxx plesk sendmail[16709]: REJECT during call 'limit-out' handler
I can find very few information on this error message, but when disabling the limiting feature, everything works as expected.

I can receive e-mails from another server, as well as another domain on this server. I can send e-mails to another domain on this server, but anything out to another server, gets stuck in the queue. I am using Plesk 7.0.2
Plesk Queue info shows:
Messages in queue: 0 not preprocessed, 0 local, 630 remote, 630 total.
In the maillog, I see " deferral: Sorry,_I_wasn't_able_to_establish_an_SMTP_connecti
on._(#4.4.1)/"
after an outbound e-mail.
Thanks

Not by choice but I got a machine running qmail with vpopmail on it. The queue on this thing is ridiculously long and doesn't seem to be getting any smaller due to the large amounts of spam sent to several domains under it.
Most of the spam is coming in the form of a@domain.com aa@domain.com ect. So I figured rather than bounce the mail back to these non existent addresses rather go the route of /dev/null. Now for qmail you'd just do # but seems for vpopmail that does not work.
So my .qmail-default have the following currently:
/usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /dev/null
Unfortunately it still sends mail back to the user who sent the mail but it sends it was delivered to /dev/null.
So any suggestions on to get that working and ways to manage this queue a heck of a lot better?

here is my problem.. i am running qmail on a plesk control panel. my load average around 15.. when i quit qmail it drops below 1.. when i clear out the queue it drops below 1, then it slowly starts rising back to 15.. i ignored my queue for a little while and it stacked up to 26k in the local queue and 1k in the local queue. overnight it builds up to 2k in the local queue and 12 in the remote.. i thought a php script was exploited so i tracked down every script using the mail function that i thought might be doing it and disabled them. i noticed some difference but the queue is still building up rapidly.. i also altered the /usr/sbin/sendmail so it will log all mail sent and that doesn't pose a problem as only 10 emails have been sent via /usr/sbin/sendmail in the last 24 hours. i also tested my server for open relays via abuse.net and it passed the open relay tests. what else could be happening? all the email in the queue is spam.. where is it coming from? some is being sent to users on the server and some is not.. i am at a total loss right now, and really need to get this problem solved. thanks for any help.....

I have server running Plesk 8.6 with Qmail. Recently some users complain that when they send email out they received undelivered email from Qmail (plesk) with lots of unknown address. Users are concerned about that mail server is sending out mail that they did not send it to. I have attached one of the typical example that user got.
I have changed domain name and ip address for dummy address. I have no clue that the server automatically append those junk email address to the senders email or the client application did it without user's consent.

How does one dump the contents of a Qmail?
That is emails that are waiting to be sent which are not going to be sent since they are bad emails so they are just stuck in the queue and are killing cpu resources, how does one tell Qmail to dump all unsent emails waiting in the queue?

We've got a dedicated server at our company that hosts several sites and email accounts. Today I noticed that in the mail queue (from Plesk) we have like 5 or 6 messages from the same customer with around 400 destination addresses for EACH one. This would be like 2000-3000 emails to be sent. It isn't spam as it's some kind of newsletter.
I don't really know how the QMail server handles this, but it's been 5 hours since some of those messages entered the queue, and they are still there, so it seems that is having some difficulty.
I don't pretend to limit the amount of emails an user can send per minute or per hour, but I would like to know if there is any way of managing the queue like, lets say, send 50 message per minute. As far as I know, the mail queue right now (by default) starts sending the messages as they come, which means it could send 1000 in a few seconds if it can handle it.
I don't even know if this would be better or worse, meaning that maybe messages could get queued when the server could handle them, so some customers would see that emails are not working instantly as they do now. It also would be good if this tool (if exists) could report the current status of the queue, saturation, etc...
We're a bit worried because a couple of days ago we had some kind of attack and our server started sending hundreds of emails with fake sender and the CPU went overloaded and the mail queue was too big.

I have hundreds and hundreds of messages in mail queue waiting delivering. Log file says:
connect to remote.host[000.000.000.000]: server refused to talk to me: 421 4.7.0 remote.host Error: too many connections from my-servers-ip
delivery temporarily suspended: connect to remote.host[000.000.000.000]: Connection timed out
(I replaced real IP addresses with 000, my-servers-ip and hostname with "remote host")
It happends only with one host (the most popular free email provider in my country). All emails to yahoo, gmail etc are being delivered without any problems.
What does it mean - too many connections from my server? I have a busy dating website and php script sends out a lot of email notifications (for example - when users get new instant messages). Anyway, I never heard that email providers limit the number of emails from the same server. During the night time all messages from mail queue are being delivered, but at day time this number sometimes grows to 1000.
I have Postfix installed.

Due to spammer activity, I find myself with 20,000 messages in the queue and I'd really like to remove those emails from the queue as it is causing delays to good messages.
Can you give me the SSH command to remove messages by subject line please?
I have already used
exim -bpru|grep frozen|awk {'print $3'}|xargs exim -Mrm
and
exiqgrep -i -f '<>' | xargs exim -Mrm
and
exim -bpu |awk '/nobody/ {print $3} ' |xargs exim -Mrm
But there are still 11,000 messages left in the queue.
The spammer messages have the following subject lines:
IS THIS TRUE?
PAYMENT UPDATE
Online Banking Account Is Locked !
Online Banking has been locked

I am a new user of Plesk 11.5.30 struggling to understand how qmail is configured.
I intend to install ezmlm to work with qmail but the installation guide assumes that the qmail installation is set up per LWQ (Life with qmail - see URL....
For example the following are quotes from LWQ:All of qmail's system configuration files, with the exception of the .qmail files in ~alias, reside in /var/qmail/control.A series of configuration files resides under /var/qmail/users.
The qmail sendmail, which is normally in /var/qmail/bin/sendmail, usually replaces .None of these directories exist. So where are all these configuration entities?

I am unable to switch from qmail to postfix via the control panel. It opens a new window that just hangs and never loads. While waiting for it to load, I see these 2 processes running..
root 25108 0.1 0.0 133972 20604 ? S 21:58 0:00 /var/cache/parallels_installer/parallels_installer_CentOS_6_x86_64 --service-mode=components --enable-xml-output --ssl-cert /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem --branch release,stable --web-interface --with-ssl --disable-browser
root 25109 0.0 0.0 104952 3032 ? S 21:58 0:00 /var/cache/parallels_installer/parallels_installer_CentOS_6_x86_64 --service-mode=components --enable-xml-output --ssl-cert /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem --branch release,stable --web-interface --with-ssl --disable-browser
But after waiting 20 minutes, the browser never loaded and the two proceses remain. So I killed both processes and removed /tmp/psa-installer.lock and started again. The same thing happened.
Is there a way to fix this? If not, is there an easy way to switch MTAs from the command line?

I have been seeing these in my log and received complaints from customers not able to get their mail out. These messages just stay in the queue and go no where.
what they are successfully using as a tlsserverciphers and tlsclientciphers? Maybe it the dh key being too small. How can this be fixed on Qmail?
qmail: 1436646171.830486 delivery 6: deferral: TLS_connect_failed:_error:14082174:SSL_routines:SSL3_CHECK_CERT_AND_ALGORITHM:dh_key_too_small;_connected_to_170.49.86.238.

We are seeing intermittent slow responses from SMTP on a RHEL6 server running Qmail on Plesk 11.5. The response is being measured from a remote Zabbix server.
The response time seems to be slow (>10s) for a period of 2-3 minutes and then returns to normal (<1s). All other services continue to be ok during the period of slowness.
The server_args line in /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa already contains "-Rt0" and all the DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf are resolving properly.
From looking at the maillog file the server was receiving about 35 SMTP connections a minute at the time of the slowdown. We have the server configured to use 2 x RBL's.
I wonder if we are hitting a limit on the maximum amount of SMTP connections. The file /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming does not exist so, according to the Qmail manual, there shouldn't be a limit on the number of incoming SMTP connections.

I'm using Plesk 11.5.50 CentOS 6.5 64bit with Qmail. I have installed a SSL certificate on mail server "mail.company.tld" and is running successfully with smtp/pop3/imap4 daemon. Every user agent uses "mail.company.tld" for smtp/pop3/imap4. The qmail name is "mail.company.tld" (file me). The server has about 300 domains and 1000 accounts.
Now we want to add a new SSL certificate, called "mail.newcompany.tld", and use it only for certain domains. I would like to know if is possible to use the new SSL "mail.newcompany.tld" for a specific mail domain without using the old SSL "mail.company.tld" that isn't expired yet. From Plesk Panel I haven't found a section for using the SSL for a specific mail domain.

I am running CentOS 5.10 (Final) with Plesk 11.5.30 Update #44 and since a few days have the strangest problem with incoming emails from certain hosts.
The email from known senders produces a relaylock message like:
/var/qmail/bin/relaylock [12345]: mail from 80.80.80.80:59595 (mail.hostname.com)
From what I was able to gather this is regular behaviour with plesk and qmail, indicating that the senders' mailserver has made contact.
Then nothing happens. For hours. 7-10 to be exact. Then the mail is being processed and delivered.
