After uninstalling ISPConfig, you may notice hundreds to thousands of e-mails in your /var/mail files.

These e-mails will contain two messages:

Subject: Returned mail: delivery problems encountered

The following addresses had delivery problems:

admispconfig@localhost.localdomain.com
Persistent Transient Failure: Delivery time expired

AND

Subject: Mailsize: nameofserver

(numbers for the mailsize)

To resolve these spam/bounce/annoying e-mails -- remove the .mailsize.rc files from your /httpdroot/webx/user/username folder:

Change /var/www/ to your httpdroot folder -

find /var/www/ -name ".mailsize.rc" -exec rm {} \;

Restart postfix:

service postfix restart

After uninstalling ISPConfig 2.2.23, your httpd services may fail during startup.

To resolve this issue:

vi /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

/ispconfig_log

Comment out the two lines below ispconfig_log by putting a # symbol in front:

#LogFormat
#CustomLog

Then write quit the file:

:wq!

Attempt to restart your httpd services:

service httpd restart

The httpd service should start correctly :

Starting httpd: [ OK ]

Verify that your websites are up and running.
