• 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.

Horde 5.0.4:"Failed to set sender name@email.com SMTP Failed to write to socket"

If the upgrade passed without errors I can suppose that you have some problem with connecting to SMTP service running by local MailEnable. There might some reason for that:
1. Some connection settings in Horde to connect to SMTP server to send an email are changed from default ones. Solution: revert changes back to defaults.
2. MailEnable SMTP service is stopped. Solution: start MailEnable SMTP service.
3. Some other service is running on port 25. Find this service using command "netstat -aon | findstr 25". It shows the ID of the process and find this process. If this process is NOT MailEnable SMTP then stop this process and make step 2.
4. Some antivirus blocks connection to local port 25.
 
Hi Svetlana,

I have found the solution:

How bizar! You have to fill in these settings and then it sends your mail in correct way. Strange that this is not filled in from standard.

Can you take this to a higher level at Plesk so that this will be fixed?

Thanks for your time en knowlegde.
