Plesk Queue File Write Error

One of the most anticipated features in Plesk 9 for me was the option to select Postfix instead of Qmail, and I did it as soon as I upgraded my own server to Plesk 9.

Australia’s first IPv6 enabled VPSs are here

As of June 2011, I am no longer employed by AussieHQ. This post is for reference only. Nearly one month ago AussieHQ subsidiary Jumba launched Virtual Private Servers.
