Some messages do not arrive in my mailbox

Kaneda56

New Pleskian
Hello,
I'm using a mail server based on Dovecot and Postfix. All is ok but some messages don't arrive in my mailbox.

In mail.log file there is :
Jan 4 21:28:35 creatoo postfix/smtpd[19092]: connect from pm156-82.dms30.com[217.111.156.82]
Jan 4 21:28:40 creatoo postfix/smtpd[19092]: disconnect from pm156-82.dms30.com[217.111.156.82]

and in mail.err file :
Jan 4 22:28:59 creatoo /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[20313]: message repeated 3 times: [ Message aborted.]

What's wrong ?

Thanks

Nothing is wrong, the part

Jan 4 21:28:35 creatoo postfix/smtpd[19092]: connect from pm156-82.dms30.com[217.111.156.82]
Jan 4 21:28:40 creatoo postfix/smtpd[19092]: disconnect from pm156-82.dms30.com[217.111.156.82]

is normal behaviour of Postfix (when receiving non-SMTP mail, such as mail originating from the sendmail script) and the part

Jan 4 22:28:59 creatoo /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[20313]: message repeated 3 times: [ Message aborted.]

is normal behaviour of the psa-pc-remote milter as provided with Plesk.

In short, local (non-SMTP) mail is not allowed on your system.

In order to alllow this type of mail, just go to "Tools & Settings > Mail > Mail Server Settings" and check the checkbox "Allow scripts and users to use sendmail".

If that does not resolve the problem, just let me know (since there is another "dirty" work-around).

Regards....
