• 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.

  • 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 I don't get any system emails

Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.56 #4
Hello,
I have 3 servers with Plesk. One quite old and two newer ones.
For example, on the old one I receive emails about updates, problems and other system emails.
I don't get anything on the two new ones.
In my opinion, I have compared everything and it is the same.
I can't find a way to send such an email manually to check what the problem is.

I can send and receive other emails from the servers via existing mailboxes without any problems.

I'm really at a loss.
 
Are the mails placed into the mail queue, e.g. do they show up in /var/log/maillog? Or are no such mails found in the log?
 
The mail queue is empty. So nothing got stuck there.
If I take a look at the outgoing mail control, I can assume that the weekly mail was attempted to be sent on November 11th, 2023 at around 1 a.m.

The maillog is so large from various login attempts. Probably the curse of a V-Server.
If I don't know exactly what to look for, it's probably like looking for a needle in a haystack.
 
In /var/log/maillog you could look for the recipient address. You can use "grep" to only show the entries where that string is included.
 
Ah thx.
I found some strange entries between 1 and 2 o'clock. This looks like the email from the system.

Unfortunately, I can't figure it out. I just find the gmail addresses strange. Where could they be stored in a config?
I changed the names of the two gmail addresses before posting them here. I also replaced my domain with “mydomain.de”. I also changed the server name. Otherwise I haven't changed anything.

I think I cannot be of any help here, because I do not know what sender or recipient addresses you have set in your Plesk for Plesk notifications. Th SRS0 lines rather indicate that an autoresponder or mail forwarding list is involved, so maybe the lines shown are not the right ones.

Maybe in this case, it would be better to ask Plesk support for assistance, so that they can look into your server. They'll surely be able to identify an issue, if there is any, and solve it. https://support.plesk.com
