  • 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.

qmail and 451: Problems sending emails - cannot relay now

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

i'm facing problems sending emails via a centos 5.2 server running plesk 8.6. Some emails cannot be send and remain in the remote mail-queue for a long time.

When i look at /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog i can find some entries like this:

Sep 1 04:04:58 zappbrannigan qmail: 1220234698.314549 starting delivery 774: msg 20418317 to remote mailbox@domain.tld

Now i am not quite sure if this is failure on my or on the receiving side. Sending a simple email via Telnet seems to work... The message "cannot relay NOW" points me, that this is a temporary problem. But the error remains after days...

Anyone can help me with this issue?

Best regards
Lars
 
Looks like there is a problem with remove server as mail logs said that Plesk mail server was able to deliver email but for some reason this mail was rejected.

If such responce is coming from one exact server it is better for you to refer to administrator responsibe for this mail server.
