• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

Check that you have file /usr/sbin/postconf from postfix package.

# ls -la /usr/sbin/postconf

the following out put

Thanks

On my test server I see

# ll /usr/sbin/postconf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 241404 Nov 8 04:33 /usr/sbin/postconf

# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/postconf
postfix-2.8.4-12092115
 
This is my server output

rpm -qf /usr/sbin/postconf
postfix-2.8.4-12052415
[root@localhost /]# ls -la /usr/sbin/postconf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 329456 May 24 03:28 /usr/sbin/postconf

Looks like there is something wrong with PATH. I suggest you contact Support Team for investigation directly on your server. Also uou can try to swithc MTA to Qmail and then back to Postfix with help of article http://kb.parallels.com/5801
 
Yes I did switching Qmail before, However I need to work around postfix MTA then I switched back to postfix. Regarding path difference already given output where you exactly pointing position. Seems to be some bug on plesk postfix configuration.

Thanks
 
Seems to be some bug on plesk postfix configuration.

Sorry, but if you try google "postconf: command not found" you see that it is common linux issue related to system misconfiguration. Therefore it is not Plesk problem. No one except you reported this issue. I think it is related to some system misconfiguration of your server.
 
IgorG,

I have forced to switch qmail now. However during qmail switch there is error mysql database. Please have a look at below error message. Is that anything I need to change mysql database


***** problem report *****
Passwords for some MySQL users were not upgraded.
All MySQL DB users that may be used by Panel MUST have passwords in new 41-character format in order for Panel to function properly.
Currently following users have passwords in old format: db_user@%.
Please ensure that MySQL server is not forced to use old password hashing algorithm and upgrade password format manually for users from the list above. Consult with MySQL server manual on detailed steps.
You may skip certain users if you are sure they weren't created and aren't used by Panel.
