• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

bug in virtual.db configuration when using postfix

xurubo93

New Pleskian
I have seen that PLESK is using the virtual alias table in /var/spool/postfix/plesk to tell postfix which alias to use when sending an email.

If the E-Mail service for a domain is deactivated all of the aliases of this deactivated domain are still kept in the virtual.db file. This leads to mails which cannot be delivered, because the alias which is used is unknown on the (external) destination host.

I think this is a bug in PLESK, because PLESK is doing the configuration of the virtual.db file.

As a workaround I removed the virtual file in the following configuration line:

Original: virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual
Now: virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual

Please consider this to be solved for future releases
 
I have forwarded it to developers for the further investigation.
I will update thread with results as soon as I receive it.
