• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Plesk Mail service not working

PaddingtonC

Basic Pleskian
I am unable to receive emails on an Ubuntu 11.04 server running postfix with the Plesk control panel. I can't see the mails even on webmail. I am able to send emails and am not getting any error messages on the email client when I try to receive. When users first complained of this I saw that the disk was full so I deleted the backups but still there is an the incoming mail service is not working. Here is the output of the logs:

*tail -f /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

I resolved this by mv /var/lib/postfix/smtpd_scache.db rm /var/lib/postfix/smtpd_scache.db.backup. It seem the smtpd_scache.db was the cause of the problem.

We tried this but had to first do Igor's steps here:
http://forum.parallels.com/showthre...ool-postfix-plesk-poplock-db-Invalid-argument

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailmng --stop-service
# mv /var/spool/postfix/plesk/poplock.db /var/spool/postfix/plesk/poplock.db_
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailmng --start-service

AND your steps on our CP9 to fix the problem.
