I have Ubuntu 12 Server/ Parallels Plesk.
I keep recieving Spam Abuse complaints every week; so I would like to stop the ability of sending/ receiving emails on my server completely, since I don’t use it. Could you please provide me with command line or tell me how to do disable that?
Thank you very much,

YOu need to stop the mta service before disabling it.
/etc/init.d/postfix stop
or/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
Then you need to disable
update-rc.d [ postfix or sendmail ] disable. This will disable the service when the server reboot.
Cheers let us know how it’s work for you.
In Plesk context you may use command
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mailmng-service –stop-service
It will stop entire mail service and its components.
