Qmail: message delivered OK, but "failure notices" are repeatedly sent

[DanijelD]

Something went wrong with Qmail after I installed few fixes to Plesk.

Qmail delivers email message, but sends "failure notice" anyway

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at server1.MyDomain.com.
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.

<someone@MyDomain.com>:

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

I get this "failure notice" every 2 minutes.

The mail is received so why is it sending failure notices?
What could be wrong?

Maybe this part from maillog helps:

Fixed it.

Seems like Plesk messed up some folder permissions.

I had to change permissions to "handlers" and "hooks" folders to 755. Now it works.
