• 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.

default permissions for passwd_db_key & passwd.db

inado1

Basic Pleskian
For some reasons, i did not have the correct user permissions for passwd_db_key & passwd.db in /var/lib/plesk/mail/auth

It produced an error each time i tried to send an email: the error was something like unable to open /var/lib/plesk/mail/auth/passwd.db (Readonly)

I did a chmod on passwd_db_key & passwd.db to 777 and it works but i guess it is not secure to do so.

If someone can check it's own file permissions (640?) & file owner (root:root?) that would be great

thank you.
 
Of course it's not secure! You are using QMail, right? Which Plesk version?

Just run mchk --fast and it should recreate these files with proper permissions. If it does not, you can remove them and they will be recreated.
