  • 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.

DEFER during call 'grey' handler

EliaGa

New Pleskian
Hello,
sometimes my server doesn't forward emails to other accounts, and I see in log file:

Sep 25 07:38:55 s17218468 /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[1151]: handlers_stderr: DEFER
Sep 25 07:38:55 s17218468 /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[1151]: DEFER during call 'grey' handler
Sep 25 07:38:55 s17218468 /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[1151]: Message aborted.

If I restart the server it works.
Can you help me?
Thank you
 
You could try to chmod the folder "/var/lib/plesk/mail/greylisting" to 775 ( standard is 770 ) and see if this solves your issue. The folder and the files inside should be owned by the group popuser and the user root.
 
This KB article suggests whitelisting localhost...

I'm using Plesk 11 so I don't know if anything related to greylisting has changed, but here is my current config that appears to be working well for me...

Code:
# /usr/local/psa/bin/grey_listing --info-server
Grey listing configuration.

Grey listing checking  enabled
Grey interval          5 minutes
Expire interval        51840 minutes
Penalty interval       2 minutes
Penalty                disabled
Personal grey listing
configuration          allowed
