• 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.

tracking down MIA email

Regular Pleskian
A client is complaining that some email is not coming through. I've turned off all spam, SPF, and gray listing for their domain, but the problem persists. They claim the emails are not bouncing or anything - just met with silence. They had setup one email address to forward to an outside personal email account, but that didn't work either. They say their spam folders don't have the missing email either (so it's probably not a client-side email problem).

Is there any place in Plesk where I can find blocked or otherwise rejected email? Or, is there a place where I can watch incoming email and see where it goes, etc?
 
Did you try to investigate /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog ?
 
Found one (although it was repeated several times). I have the email forwarding to me now, just to find out if it's coming in or not. I did not receive this message.
