• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

Can not email other domain on the same server

DanielMo

New Pleskian
I have this setup.

PLESK 11.5.30 on Ubuntu 12.04

Two domains, and web for both domains is served by my server with plesk.
Hoover for one domain Mail is served by another server.

Problem is when i try to send email from server that has mail served by plesk to another that is not served by plesk it does not work it assumes my email is on the same server with plesk and email does not get delivered. The same hapens if i send email from my webapp to the server that has mail on external server.
The same thing as in http://forum.parallels.com/pda/index.php/t-93222.html

I cannot edit /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains because it is empty. and i cannot disable mailbox for that domain.

/usr/local/psa/bin/domain -i domain.tld -mail_service false
does not disable mailbox

here is maillog

Code:
courier-imapd: Connection, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1]
courier-imapd: LOGIN, user=user1@senderdomain.tld, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], port=[37142], protocol=IMAP
postfix/qmgr[1451]: C5591231A47: from=<user1@senderdomain.tld>, size=663, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
postfix-local[3127]: postfix-local: from=user1@senderdomain.tld, to=user2@recieverdomain.tld, dirname=/var/qmail/mailnames
postfix-local[3127]: cannot chdir to mailname dir user2: No such file or directory
postfix-local[3127]: Unknown user: user2@recieverdomain.tld
postfix/pipe[3126]: C5591231A47: to=<user2@recieverdomain.tld>, relay=plesk_virtual, delay=0.21, delays=0.13/0/0/0.09, dsn=2.0.0, plesk_virtual service)
postfix/qmgr[1451]: C5591231A47: removed
courier-imapd: LOGOUT, user=user1@senderdomain.tld, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1], headers=0, body=0, rcvd=573, sent=127, time=0, starttls=1

So im out of ideas what to do.
Do i delete domain in /var/qmail/mailnames or what else ?

PS.
If i send email from gmail or from any other host to that email address it works like excepted and i recieve email and can replay.
 
Make sure you have changed the MX records of that domain name on that server to it's respective records. Do the same for mail A record.

There is no MX records for that domain on my Plesk Servers. I have chosen the option to host dns settings on another server (i have dns cloud) So there is realy no MX settings, only nameservers that point to another server.
 
I did and its pretty stupid. ( i have plesk 11.5.30 )

so u have to turn off email for every domain that you have on another server. its not enough to point to DNS.

You can easily turn it of for main domain on your acc but to turn it off for other domains you basically have to change url parameters on you own and uncheck "Activate mail service on domain" and submit that form.
Go to your main domain overview, click on domain that you want to turn the mail service off. in url you will see the domain id

something like this smb/web/overview/id/d:32
lets say domain example.com has id 32

now you go to mail overview page and click change setting and you get something like this plesk/client@1/domain@1/mail/properties/

change url to plesk/client@1/domain@32/mail/properties/ uncheck the "Activate mail service on domain" and submit the form.
