  • 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.

Issue Can't send emails from subdomains (Plesk Obsidian 18.0.24)

erezg

New Pleskian
I am running Plesk Obsidian 18.0.24, on a Ubunto box in AWS. I have recently add a subdomain email.my_domain.com. I can receive emails but can not send email out.

I am getting the following error when trying to send an email from webmail ..

SMTP Error (550): Failed to add recipient "name@my_domain.com" (5.1.1 <name@my_domain.com>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table).

Sending out emails on the main domain works fine.

Thank you!

Hello Peter,

Yes, the emails really exist.

I am hosting multiple domains on one box.

I can receive from domains that are hosted on my box and external domains, such as gmail.com, etc.

I can NOT send emails to external domains.

Please make sure that the recipient domain is unconfigured (does not exist) on the sender's server (your server). If it exists there, the server will try to deliver the mail locally which leads to exactly the symptom that you are describing.

Simply click on the "Domains" tab and make sure that the recipient's domain is not present on your own (sender's) server.
