  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Do you have postdrop in /etc/group file?
Check it with

# grep postdrop /etc/group
postdrop:x:120:
 
root@server / # grep postdrop /etc/group postdrop:x:120:

grep: postdrop:x:120:: No such file or directory

root@server / #
 
root@server / # grep postdrop /etc/group

root@server / # grep postdrop /etc/group

root@server / #

after enter is empty
 
Add this group with

/usr/sbin/groupadd postdrop

and try to change mailserver to postfix again.
