  • 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 errors : "handlers permanentfail"

regisg

Regular Pleskian
Hello,

My VPS : Plesk 9.3, CentOS 5.2, Postfix 2.3.3

Well, i must say that i am a bit irritated with all these persistent smtp errors...

First, i used Postfix and was confronted to this bug : Mail Redirect (still) doesn't work right with Postfix & CentOS
As the issue was not fixed, i switched postfix to qmail, and this bug disappeared.

But now... i am confronted to ANOTHER BUG with qmail : some mails are not delivered !!
Only certain types of mails, like autoresponders mails (but only when mails are sent from external email adresses/clients, see bellow) and also certain mails sent from php scripts...

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at munci.org. (munci.org is our domain off course)
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.

<rgranarolo@gmail.com>: (this adress is valide off course)
handlers permanentfail

--- Below this line is a copy of the message.

Return-Path: <adherent@munci.org>
Received: (qmail 31901 invoked by uid 0); 10 Feb 2010 11:17:03 +0100

Subject: Autoresponder : test adherent@munci.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

In my Server-wide mail preferences, i have :
Enable message submission : ON
Relay options : authorization is required: SMTP
DomainKeys spam protection :
Allow signing outgoing mail : ON
Verify incoming mail : ON


Is there a fix for that ?

THX...

Any related errors from /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog ?
 
Resolved

Problem resolved after :
/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam
(it seems that this operation is necessary after switching postfix <->qmail from the plesk autoinstaller...)
