    Resolved Plesk's authentication driver for dovecot is trying to write to the email accounts password file

    Hello, Dovecot would not be attempting a password change, so that's not it. To validate a password, dovecot should not need to open the file for write access. You don't know that. The valid questions I posted above need to be answered. If there is a configuration that governs whether the...

    Resolved Plesk's authentication driver for dovecot is trying to write to the email accounts password file

    In my opinion, this is highly unusual... the Plesk authentication driver, called by dovecot, is attempting to write to the wrong database, over and over continuously, 1-3 times per minute. That's kinda crazy.

    Resolved Plesk's authentication driver for dovecot is trying to write to the email accounts password file

    As soon as SELinux is put in permissive mode, dovecot, via Plesk authentication driver, will open the passwd.db file for write access, and possibly write to the file. And we don't know why it would do that. Why would dovecot need to write to that file? We can't rule out at this point that...

    Issue SELinux blocking dovecot from writing to passwd.db

    Greetings, I'm running dovecot 2.3.21.1 (Plesk says up-to-date). I'm getting this repeated error in /var/log/messages... "SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/dovecot/auth from write access on the file passwd.db." (I think passwd.db is the one in /var/lib/plesk/mail/auth/) This causes...

    Issue Send from domain IP addresses stopped working

    Unfortunately, I had to give up trying to use Postfix. I can't use an MTA that's going to randomly assign a different IP to a domain without warning. In the real world, that could spell disaster to email delivery, due to IP reputation. Beyond that glitch, Postfix in general became...

    Issue Send from domain IP addresses stopped working

    Hi, Plesk Onyx has the new feature, with Postfix, to be able to select that the IP address used for outgoing email will be the domain's IP address. I was testing this and it was working fine for days and then suddenly about 1.5 hours ago it stopped working. I have disabled it and re-enabled...
