qmail-scanner issue

Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2012 4:48 pm

Updated today the qmail-scanner and the server froze.

To make server boot properly

added 8.8.8.8 to /etc/resolve.conf
added server IP plesk3.domain.co.uk
to /etc/hosts

**********
then found loads of qscan processes. that were slowing down the server

Cron job
/etc/cron.d/kill_qmail

And script
/usr/local/bin/q.sh (which I have running)
to keep these down


now some domains seem to be getting emails from aug/september like it is running a different email config?!

The fix with the cron job made ssh come back and the websites but the emails are still not working properly

What could be the issue and the fix?

Any advice appreciated

thank you
