MagicSpam is still working even if it was disabled in Plesk GUI

Symptoms

• MagicSpam extension is still working even if it was disabled in Plesk at Extensions > MagicSpam > Disable:

  

• MagicSpam daemon still reports some logs in /var/log/maillog, for example:

  CONFIG_TEXT: magicspam-daemon[4576]: magicspam-iprange.c:745 ERROR __sane_ip(): Sorry but this system does not yet support IPv6 range checks for address [::1]

• MagicSpam daemon is running on a server:

  # service magicspam-milter status
  magicspam-milter is active and running [1711]

  # service magicspam-daemon status
  magicspam-daemon is active and running [1683]

Cause

This is a Plesk extension bug with ID #EXTCERT-1054, which will be fixed in future product updates.
The option Disable for MagicSpam only disables user access to the extension but does not disable extension's work on a server.

Resolution

Disable the daemon completely on the server:

1. Connect to the server via SSH

2. Run the following command to disable the daemon:

   # /etc/init.d/magicspam-daemon stop
   # /etc/init.d/magicspam-milter stop
