  • 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.

Hello,

after upgrading from Suse 10 (incl. Plesk 9.2) to 11.1 with Plesk (9.2) there seams to be a problem in the mail configuration. Mails seams to be arrived but authentication with IMAP or POP3 is not possible. In /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog there occurs:

2009-09-12T19:07:30.640962+02:00 h1012927 imapd: IMAP connect from @ [127.0.0.1]chdir "/var/qmail/mailnames/domain.net/username": Permission denied

I used the Plesk backup utility to backup my mails and settings, but there were some problems during restoring. Therefore I have copied some Maildirs manually, maybe there is a problem with permissions right now? Is the following ok?

drwxrwx--- 12 qmaild qmail 4096 11. Sep 21:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 12. Sep 03:36 ..
drwxrws--- 2 qmaild qmail 4096 11. Sep 16:45 alias
drwxrwx--- 2 qmaild qmail 4096 11. Sep 16:44 bin
drwxrwx--- 2 qmaild qmail 4096 11. Sep 16:44 boot
drwxrwx--- 2 qmaild qmail 4096 12. Sep 18:17 control
drwxrwx--- 4 popuser qmail 4096 11. Sep 22:15 mailnames
drwxrwx--- 2 qmaild qmail 4096 12. Sep 02:31 plugins
drwxrwx--- 2 qmaild qmail 4096 12. Sep 02:31 popuser
drwxrwx--- 11 qmaild qmail 4096 12. Sep 02:31 queue
drwxrwx--- 3 qmaild qmail 4096 11. Sep 21:12 spamdyke
drwxrwx--- 2 qmaild qmail 4096 12. Sep 18:28 users

How has the mailnames pemissions to be? Currently the belong to popuser and group. I have runned /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk with no errors, also the auth_view tool shows me the correct users and settings.

It seams that auhtpsa is responsible for authentication, maybe it has no acces to the maidirs? Is there a special setting under wich the courier tries to access the mail directories?

The poppasswd describes in http://kb.odin.com/en/956 /var/qmail/users/ doesn not exists at my machine but the file assign (with correct domains, users, uids und gids) and cdb. Is the poppasswd still needed in 9.2?

any ideas? best wishes.
