i have a cpanel account,
recently,there are a lot of files in the folder /mail/new/,
they are named like 1203962585.H101727P9217.hostname.com ,
i remove them,and they auto create later,
is it spam? or?
and how can i remove them auto ? or do not let them here anymore?
How do i can perform
- Clean up unwanted files from /tmp
- Check and clean the mail queue
- Check /proc for hidden or unwanted processes
I will be thanking the person who can give in details how to perform each point in vps server and what's the steps or commands i should follow .
My server with Plesk 11 died a few days ago. I now have a new server with Plesk 12.
I have the entire /var folder copied up from the old server.
How do I restore emails to the new server? Can I simply copy /var/qmail/mailnames/domain.name from the backed up /var folder into the corresponding folder on the new server?
I couldn't keep my mouth shut (technically fingers). A customer wanted to upgrade servers and he needed a way to move the data across. Since I don't allow hard drives to be swapped, they have to do it manually all by themselves. I generally allow up-to 4 days for them to transfer data and make DNS changes, etc. But this time, I offered help! I agreed to move the data (darn me) and it just came out of me, involuntarily.
God knows what just happened... but in a positive way, customer is extremely happy!
So...
Both servers are on cPanel - with root access (duh)
200 odd files which total to 25 GB
1 database about 100 MB in size (no biggie)
I was planning on using one of my Windows 2003 servers (via remote desktop) to download the 25 GB and upload the 25 GB, but that sounds like a waste of resources and time.
