  • 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 bounce and dr web query

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

I'm fairly new to Plesk, but hopefully someone can help me out as I've never really needed to get my hands 'dirty' before!

I'm running Plesk 8.2.1 on a VPS, hosting 2 domains. The first domain has been running with no problems for the past year, and I've just recently added a second domain which is also running fine.

Since the 14th July, I've been receiving on average 3 mail daemon failure notices per day (I've already received 3 separate mails today alone!). Below is a copy of the mail that I receive (ip and host address blanked out for obvious reasons).

Can someone advise a complete Plesk newbie what is causing this to happen all of a sudden and to help me out to fix it? There appears to be 2 things going on - 1. qmail send program is bouncing all over the place and 2. Unable to chdir to maildir. (#4.2.1) - whatever that is!

Any help/advise really appreciated!

Thx

Here's the mail:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at lvps212-241-***-***.vps.myhost.co.uk.
I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced!

Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at lvps212-241-***-***.vps.myhost.co.uk.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
