HELP! qmail-scanner update has broken mail?

We have

This morning did updates to server:
Dec 17 10:32:59 Updated: tortixd-2.2.23-8.el5.art.x86_64
Dec 17 10:32:59 Updated: 1:tortixd-mod_ssl-2.2.23-8.el5.art.x86_64
Dec 17 10:33:05 Updated: 1:qmail-scanner-2.10-8.el5.art.x86_64

After that, we lost SSH access. Reboot did not work. Had to come to datacentre and manually reboot 3 times to get it up and running. Now we have SSH and websites and access to a degree.

Not been able to log onto Plesk CP
Have been able sporadically to log onto ASL CP
More importantly, qmail appears to have reverted to a very old version:
  • it shows the subject which we used to have but do not now
    spamdyke shows DENIED on all emails and noting is being delivered in or out
Can anyone PLEASE help in suggesting what root commands we can run to identify what has gone wrong here?

Sounds like you encountered the same issue as mist_firefly: https://www.atomicorp.com/forum/viewtop ... =12&t=6461

Thanks breun,
Same issue - same server!
Can get the websites working but cannot get postfix operational even though the first bit appears to be successful:
[root@plesk3 ~]# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailmng --features | grep SMTP_Server
$features['SMTP_Server'] = "Postfix";
$features['SMTP_Server_package'] = "postfix";
But the maillog still suggests that qmail and qmail-scanner are both active with errors, and not sending/receiving anything:
Dec 18 06:52:17 plesk3 pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:41.206.41.100]

Can anyone help on that?
