Any reason why Virtualmin created three new servers with a series of numbers, but they are not real servers - if that makes sense. They are listed in the servers, but no details
This was a bug in an older version of Virtualmin, those "phantom servers" were created when backups that only included Virtualmin config but no domains were taken.
Seems that the fake servers have mail turned on but nothing else. They do no show up in Webmin, just on the Vitualmin side in the server list. Cannot delete them.
I've attached the screenshot of what is recorded.
I checked in the virtual-servers folder and found files related to the servers such as:
However, note that we'd recommend upgrading to the most recent Virtualmin version. It has lots of bugfixes, including a fix for the above issue, and also contains a number of big security fixes :-)
I'm not quite sure how old version 1.675 is, that's not in our repository, but it's at least 5 years old.
Hmm, which Virtualmin version is it that you have there?

Yup, you can indeed delete those files.
