  • 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.

PHP Mail - Not Receiving Any Emails

PHP Mail - Not Sending/Receiving Any Emails

I recently got a new dedicated private server from 1&1. It has the latest Plesk Panel (11.5.30). On all of my webpages hosted from the server, none of them can send emails. Whenever I test this from here http://championsfunding.com/contact-us, it says that it successfully sent the email but I receive no emails at all. Here's a test PHP mail script with more detailed information: http://championsfunding.com/mail_test.php. I added mail.log = /~username/mail_logs to PHP Settings in Custom View Settings but there is no logs. Any help would be appreciated.

Check Plesk maillog - /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog
 
I skimmed through the maillog and found no problems except
May 7 10:05:53 u17259487 qmail: 1399471553.284374 delivery 29: deferral: ./Maildir:_No_such_file_or_directory/
I created the Maildir in the root folder and still no emails.

Here's the log

Hi again,
some tips for the specific issue with PHP Mailer: in the firewall rules the port 25 must be open (SMTP (submission port) server and SMTP (mail sending) server) and the setting for SPF inbox email in the Plesk Panel:

"Tool&Settings" > "Server Mail Settings" > "Switch on SPF spam protection" temporary select: "Only create Receveid-SPF header, never block" or disable it.

Also check the SPF domain configuration and the reverse DNS (PTR) domain configuration.

I hope will help you.

Bye
