Yes, I've seen it. But it is currently disabled:

root@mail:/etc/apache2/sites-enabled# ll
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 abr 29 16:45 webmail.freesoftware.conf ->
../sites-available/webmail.freesoftware.conf


So I do not explain to me why when accessing the IP of server (for
example) it is shown the "It's works" site. I have purged the content in
the browser cache (just in case) and even opened a different browser to
test it, but the result is the same.

It is strange because these days I upgraded other hosts with Apache to
Debian Jessie and I have not had this problem.

I will continue investigating.

Thanks for your reply.

Best regards,
Daniel
