• 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.

Webmail config files go missing

Regular Pleskian
Anyone ever run into an issue where a customer's webmail.<domain>.com will return their home page instead of the webmail login screen? Traditionally, we'd fix it via /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/httpdmng --reconfigure-domain <domain> and things would work, until someone else on the same server reports the same thing, repeat. This has been going on since at least Plesk 11.5 but possibly older.

I ultimately found the issue is that the /etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/webmails/horde/<domain>_webmail.conf files were disappearing at random. We've put a script in place to compare the contents of the directory against the psa.domains table on domains where email is enabled, but there must be some bug that is causing this to occur. The only factor that seems to play a role in this is that the problem only occurs on servers where there's at least 150 domains. We've never had this occur on any server with a smaller amount of domains present.
