  • 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.

Problem with limit-out - Postfix/Dovecot

OliverS.

New Pleskian
Hi,

on a fresh debian 7 64bit openvz system we actually have a problem with the new plesk 12 feature of limiting outgoing mails.
We migrated about 25 systems to plesk, this is the first that makes problems.

If limiting outgoing mails is activated (i double-checked all possible checkboxes in plesk) a fresh mailbox gives us the following error while trying to send via smtp:

Aug 15 13:09:32 2d4 postfix/smtpd[8645]: connect from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX]

After deactivating the feature all mail is sent without any problems. We use postfix + dovecot.

Any idea what happened here ?
 
Look at Tools&Settings>Mails Server Settings>Allow scripts and users to use Sendmail. Is this activated?
 
Hi Igor,

this checkbox is enabled, i also tried disabling and enabling, but the error message keeps the same. The limits are not exceeded.
