A web server using Plesk will, after some time begin to consume large amount of disk space in log files which are usually not required, if the server configuration is left in its default state. To avoid this use the log rotation feature in the log file management section of domains. There log files can be configured to rotate and to limit the amount of disk space used by them. Rotate by either file size or duration e.g. daily/weekly/monthly to manage the space log files use.

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010If you find yourself needing to delete emails directly from your Plesk server rather than through your email client, the following information will prove useful.
Plesk-based servers are configured to use qmail as the mail server.
You can find mail in /var/qmail/mailnames/<domain>/<mailbox-name>/Maildir/
Within this directory you will find cur and new directories which contain the actual email files.
