• 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.

Resolved Postfix Mail Errors

Richard Ward

New Pleskian
I'm having some strange issues with Postfix after moving my sites over to production from our old cPanel server.

I have two domains set up. The first domain has a real email account, me@domain1. The second domain has some email forwarders/aliases emails@domain2 -> me@domain1. When I send out email to the forwarding address, it never arrives:

Jan 9 15:56:27 server1 postfix/qmgr[2881]: warning: connect to transport private/plesk-domain2.com-: No such file or directory

Jan 9 15:56:27 server1 postfix/error[31842]: B7B356206A: to=<mytest@gmail.com>, relay=none, delay=0.02, delays=0.01/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)

I tried sending from Gmail to my email forward, and received the above in /var/log/maillog. Now, when I send to the real email account on the first domain, it arrives without issue. This only seems to be related to forwarding, or maybe just my second domain?

I'm wondering if it's connected to another issue, of seeing "localhost.localdomain" in my logs sometimes. I wish I could explain the problem better.

Thanks in advance,

I'd also like to note that those messages which never arrive, get stuck in mail queue and I can view them within Plesk.

I'm using valid SPF, DMARC, DKIM, etc... all the goodies.
