• 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.

PleskMEMTA event stops mail from getting delivered

Paul Muloin

New Pleskian
We are running Plesk 9.2.1 on Windows Server 2003 64bit with MailEnable Enterprise 4.26

Every now an then mail stops being delivered (very random, could be a week or more). The MTA logs shows that the mail is being delivered to the server just not to the mailboxes.

Below is an excerpt from the MTA Log file showing PleskMEMTA running and then after that all we see is the processing file logs until we access the server and restart the MailEnable MTA Agent.

MailEnable recommends turning off third party pick up events especially when using Plesk ..see this article
http://www.mailenable.com/kb/Content/Article.asp?ID=me020497

We want know exactly what that Plesk event is doing before disabling it as it could cause other problems we are not aware of.

Thanks in advance
