Yahoo Deferred Messages

We have been getting yahoo deferred messages, though this is only from one domain but we are actually trying to figure out what is causing the problem , I retraced my steps and it occured after I upgraded Exim rules, I still have to examine exim configuration and maybe I missed something, as usual, Exim configuration has been backed up before upgrading it, will be posting the steps once I am done.

Yahoo's answer wasn't helping that much so we decided to make our own investigation and the mail logs are going to tell us a lot of things. One troubleshooting tool that is very handy for us in this case is the CMQ from freeservers, its a free script for mail queues as well as troubleshooting them, though we are still checking on why the change password doesn't work as well.

Have a great weekend guys :)

Plesk launches 9.0 for Windows

We are currently using the Plesk 9.0 for Windows server Control Panel. As we wait for the Cpanel for Windows which will hopefully be released sometime this year, we are currently evaluating our options with Plesk 9.0. Below is my IMHO findings about Plesk :

a. No PMM (Plesk Migration Manager) for us to be able to change Mail servers one day.
b. MailEnable still doesn't support IMAP , which we would greatly need for a server when customers asks for SquirrelMail or equivalent.
c. SquirrelMail is in the additional software page but sadly again , back to (b) , Plesk doesn't have IMAP support unless otherwise you would buy the software from them (*sigh*)
d. Unlike Linux (which is opensource) and we are very happy with our other server to use Cpanel, their scripts / fixes are very hard to run especially on CLI(command line interface)
e. Plesk data file operates on a separate mysql table / database which is much of a hassle when tracing what went wrong on a particular domain / account.
f. No grant privileges for MYSQL unlike Cpanel for Windows were you can choose which privs you want for each database user.


If there are other things that I did not mention, please do drop a comment or two. Feedback is very much welcome.
