  • 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 uses incorrect IP Address

Hello All!

Since the upgrade to Pleask 8.6 Qmail is misbehaving slightly.
Qmail used to use the standard IP address eth0 to send email.

Qmail is now using a secondary IP address eth0:1 instead which is creating bad SFP problems.

server:/var/qmail/control # ifconfig (real addresses have been x-ed out)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:81:5C:67:6F

I did try the following approach http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?t=47946&highlight=outgoingip creating an /var/qmail/control/outgoingip file, but this didn't help. I presume this will only work with an additonal Qmail patch which I'd like to avoid.

Can anybody suggest a method how to fix this problem or to convince Qmail to use the standard IP address again?
Thanks for your responses!
