  • 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 to Postfix feedback

TristanA

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

The IP address of my server is detected as a spammer.
I want to use an ip failover to send mails.

I think Qmail can not natively send mail with a different IP.

I think install postfix.
Do you have a feedback on the installation of postfix?
I saw that I could easily install with Plesk tools.

Thank you in advance for your help.
 
I have a thread on this forum where I explained on how you can configure QMail to use a different IP rather than the primary IP of the server to send out email. Just run a search ...

About postfix installation, just install it directly through the autoinstaller ..
 
Hello,

Thank you for your answer.
I found the thread that you're talking about.
http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?261070-Assigning-sender-s-IP-on-V-10-4-4

I have a centos plesk server.
My main IP 46.21.1.25.
I have several IP failover: 46.21.26.240-249 (eth0: 0 eth0: 1 ...)
The IP failover are bind on 46.21.1.25.

How can I do?

My current configuration:

Code:
# ip route
46.21.1.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 46.21.1.25
169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0 scope link metric 1002
default via 46.21.1.1 dev eth0

Is this the right soultion?

Code:
# ip route change default via 46.21.1.1 dev eth0: 0 src 46.21.26.240


Thank you for your help.
 
If 46.21.26.240 is the new IP you want Qmail to send out with, then yes that is correct ..ie

Code:
/sbin/ip route change default via 46.21.1.1 dev eth0 src 46.21.26.240
 
Hi Joseph,

Sorry for the delay.
I tested the command with my failover IP and everything works!

Thank you very much!
