• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host...

Regular Pleskian
I keep getting bounce messages from my web server running Plesk 10.4.4. I use this server strictly as a web server and have disabled the email server on it (which I did with my previous Plesk 9.5.4 server and had no issues).

"Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host,
it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. (#5.4.6)"

I googled around and found this http://kb.parallels.com/en/1380, but the fix does not seem to apply to me.

Is there something else I can try?
 
I think its because you disabled mail services that you keep getting those errors simply because someone or an application is trying to send out or send to your server mail.

I'll probably need to know the real domain to give you real world examples on what to check, but my guess is that the problem is you've got 'domain.com' hosted on your web server and the MX records for domain.com point mail at 'domain.com' as the primary mail server. For every other server on the internet other than your web server, this works fine because 'domain.com' probably points at the correct IP of your mail server for that domain, but for the web server, it does the lookup and thinks it should deliver to itself whether you have mail turned on or not.

You can private message me the domain if you'd like and I can try to help further.
