  • 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+qmail, TLS fallback

poppsworld.com

Basic Pleskian
Hello all,

is there any possibility to implement an non-TLS fallback for qmail if sending emails via SMTP+TLS fails?

On Centos 6.5, after running the latest openssl-update we get errors in /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog when sending emails via TLS to some servers:

Code:
Jul 29 06:56:26 bender qmail: 1406609786.783037 delivery 1572: deferral: TLS_connect_failed;_connected_to_XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX./
Jul 29 06:56:26 bender qmail: 1406609786.783066 status: local 0/10 remote 1/20
Jul 29 06:56:26 bender qmail: 1406609786.796430 delivery 1573: deferral: TLS_connect_failed;_connected_to_XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX./
Jul 29 06:56:26 bender qmail: 1406609786.796459 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

Since the "TLS_connect_failed" happens every time the server tries to connect, the emails stay in the qmail-queue until their lifetime is reached...

Despite the fact, that we have to get rid of this error it would be useful to have a fallback-mechanism like in postfix, which seems to send emails without tls... if tls-encryption fails.

Is it possible to implement that in qmail+plesk?

Thanks for your help and

Best regards
Lars

hi Emmanuel,

it's quite some time ago since I ran into the problem: As far as I can remember I fixed the issue by identifying the ciphers supported by CentOS's OpenSSL-Package, writing it to the qmail-files:

openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsserverciphers
openssl ciphers > /var/qmail/control/tlsclientciphers

Afterwards i removed some ciphers from that files, which caused the problems. BUT since I don't know if you are having the same config/problem... that might not help for you.

Best regards,
Lars
