  • 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.

Thanks for your help.

AFAICT, the SMTP transaction was successful (i.e., the message was received for relay/delivery by the MTA):

What problem, exactly, are you experiencing?
 
Hello Eric,

The problem not is this log, the log displayed not is my qmail.

This its the qmail log:

Mar 6 13:59:03 rootserver smtp_auth: SMTP user xxxx@xxxxxxxx.es : logged in from xx.xx-xx-xx-xx.xx.xx-xx.xx[xx.xx.xx.xx]

Mar 6 13:59:05 rootserver qmail-remote-handlers[22344]: to=xxxx.xxxxx@xxxxx.xxxxx.com


The log does not report much, the other one its much better... (other mail server). This email its sended? And I get all mixed lines connections, pop and smtp, its so dificult see this log...

This email not arrive, but i dont know the reason...

I need the full SMTP dialog betwen servers.

I can change te log level in qmail to get a better log?

Hi there, logs are like that because different people need to look for different things. To make a log your own, use pipes and grep / egrep to filter out the string that you want to monitor and keep an eye on it with "tail -f". Postfix's logs are similar, more detailed, but they also mix in POP/IMAP login and logout logs with actual email receiving, sending, queuing, etc... The log is only as good as the tools you use to look at it are.
 
Although use "grep" to see the mail, I need more information of the log...

I need the smtp dialog betwen servers (mail from, smtp to, sending, ok, quit. etc....), the plesk log not report this information....

There is much difference between the first and the second log.
