• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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 Mails not receiving

New Pleskian
I'm not receiving my mails. I read pretty much every post here in the forum.
Port 25 is open and I ran a test with checktls and everything seems to be fine (but a certificate issue which I got no idea why).

I wonder if anyone can help me. I'm new to Plesk and must say that I'm getting pretty frustrated...

Thanks for your help

Well, a couple of observations:

- your mail server responds as server.hickerpublishing.com, but that domain name doesn't have a "A" DNS record
- the IP of your mail server has no PTR record
- your mail server is using a self signed SSL certificate
- the MX record of your domain orca-gallery.com does point to the IP of your mail server, as it should
- your mail server accepts mail messages and the info<yourdomain> address exists.

Looks like a DNS issue. Your server needs some additional configuration in order to be operational, but basically the services seem to work.
