  • 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 problems after upgrading to 9.3

Hello!

After upgrading to Plesk 9.3, I've been experiencing some problems with qmail.

There's two issues:


1) Mails sent (via PHP's mail function) are sometimes bouncing, depending on the destination host. The problem is the "return-path" header is set to anonymous@s12345678.s12345678 (numbers changed!) which isn't valid. (I can get around the problem by specifying a return-path header in my PHP script, but ideally I'd like to get rid of the problem completely.)

2) Mails sent from the server to me (cron reports mainly, but also the Plesk update email) are sent from #@[] which is failing for the same reason.


The destination mail server is rejecting the emails for having invalid "from" or "return-path" addresses.

With both issues, the log shows lines like these... (Anonymised and edited for ease of reading!)

Any ideas anyone? :)

Thanks in advance!

Hello, the update process of Plesk writes the wrong data in the "me" file. You have to change follwing data:

path: /var/qmail/control/me
wrong data: s12345678
correct data: <your server name> (e.g. s12345678.server.net)
