  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Mail Delivery Delay Problems

I posted this over on the mail enable forum, but no one responded. Can anyone help me here?

Thanks

Several of my customers (postoffices/domains) are getting message delivery delay notices from rcn.com/erols.com and cox.net. I'm using Plesk as my control panel with ME 1.72 (or 3, not sure). I was wondering if anyone out there knew what I should be looking for in either the ME settings or my DNS to resolve the issue. The server is windows 2003 and is multihomed with about 20 domains/postoffices.

Based on other posts I believe that ME is listening on x.x.x.2 and sending on x.x.x.1. Therefore I have added a secondary MX record in dns with a lower priority (higher number) for reverse lookup purposes.

x.x.x.1 is my machine's base ip and x.x.x.2 is my domain's ip.

My dns records look like this:

same as parent A x.x.x.2
same as parent MX [10] domain.com
same as parent MX [20] x.x.x.1

SMTP Properties
Local Domain Name: x.x.x.1
DNS Addresses: x.x.x.1 external.x.x.1 external.x.x.2
Always bind to all IPs is checked
Outbound binding is set to default

Should outbound binding be set to x.x.x.1?


Thanks for the help.
