Functions of the Mail-Log extension
This Plesk extension will allow you to have better control and valuable information about your server’s mail logs.
It will offer you, among other, information about the connections to the mailboxes and the emails received and sent so each owner of a subscription can access this data to analyze and have information about any questions about the mail process.
You can:
- See the connections to the different mailboxes of the domain with the possibility of filtering by mailbox, date or ip.
- See the emails received in a domain with the possibility of filtering by mailbox, date, weight, email identifier, status or sender.
- View emails sent from a domain with the possibility of filtering by mailbox, date, weight, email identifier, status or recipient.
In addition, the Administrator can set the number of days during which the logs will be stored in the database and activate or deactivate the log checking cron.
Requirements
To run the extension on your Plesk control panel you will need:
- Your server O.S. must be Linux
- Your Plesk version must be 17.8 or higher.
- That your server has Postfix
Installation
The installation is very simple, just access the Plesk control panel, go to “Extensions” and there look for “Mail-Log”, install it and you will directly have the option enabled in each of the subscriptions.
Troubleshooting
If the plugin stops working it may be because the process has been blocked (for example, when a server crashes, the temporary file is not deleted)
In that case, you can check the date file:
ls -l /usr/local/psa/var/modules/mail-log/cron.lock
You can also check if cron task is running:
ps -ef | grep queue_runner.php | grep -v grep
If the file is several days old and especially if there is no analysis process of the maillog file, the temporary file must be deleted so that the cron works again:
rm -f /usr/local/psa/var/modules/mail-log/cron.lock
