  • 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 Invalid argument: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender

Ihtshama

Basic Pleskian
I am recieveing emails from almost all senders, but one customer is not able to send emails, he is seeing following error

The mail system

<hello@domain.ch>: connect to
mail.domain.ch[95.216.40.xxx]:25: Invalid argument

Can you please advise why it is happeing?
 
First, find the ip addresses of the transports used in the postfix configuration. For example:

# grep smtp_bind_address /etc/postfix/master.cf

plesk-104.248.xxx.xxx- unix - - n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=104.248.xxx.xxx -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4
plesk-185.98.xxx.xxx- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=185.98.xxx.xxx -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4

Then check which one is used for your domain with the problem:

# postmap -s /var/spool/postfix/plesk/sdd_transport_maps | grep 104.248.xxx.xxx
# postmap -s /var/spool/postfix/plesk/sdd_transport_maps | grep 185.98.xxx.xxx

When you determine the IP address of the transport used for your problem domain, check that this IP address really exists on your Plesk server and is correctly configured in Plesk.
