Issue mailman mailinglists: sorry, no mailbox here by that name

[Sven K.]

Hi folks,
I updated Plesk vom 11.x to 12.5.30 a while ago.
Under Plesk 11.x creating new mailinglists with mailman was no problem.
Since 12.5.x I can create a new mailinglist with https://lists.myserver.de/mailman/admin/
But when I send a mail to the new mailinglist, I get this error message back:
Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.7.17)

The old mailinglists are still functional. Only the new mailinglists don't work.

Any idea? What do I have to do?
Thanks for any hint!
Greetings... Sven

Have you tried repairing the mail configuration?

# plesk repair mail

Edit: Found this - Mailing list returns: "Sorry, no mailbox here by that name"

# plesk repair mail

Thanks!
I tried: plesk repair mail mydomain.de
This is the result:

So, what can I do now?
Any ideas?

Yup, that's a Plesk bug;

Cannot repair mail service for a domain: Invalid or unsupported Unicode character or escape sequence found in string

Ok, thank you.
I used the workaround and now the repair mail service went through without any problems.
But unfortunately the problem is not solved. I still get the same error response.

When I try this: plesk repair mail mymailinglist@mydomain.de
I get this error:

Reconfiguring the mail service ...................................... [ERROR]
The mailbox mymailinglist@mydomain.de was not found.

Any ideas, how I can fix this?

How about switching it off and then back on?

# plesk bin maillist --off example.com
# plesk bin maillist --on example.com

What's being logged in /var/log/maillog ?

What's being logged in /var/log/maillog ?

Strangely, I can not find anything about it!?

 

[MarkM]

What about under /var/log/mailman/ - anything good?

 

[Sven K.]

I looked there too, but can not find anything about it!?
