• 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.

Resolved When Server Restarts, Postfix SMTP Doesn't

G J Piper

Regular Pleskian
If I restart my server using Plesk Onyx Server Management "Restart Server" command, everything launches correctly on bootup and seems to be working except Postfix SMTP is never running. If I go in to the "Services management" controls, I can start it successfully in there and it works fine until the next reboot/restart of the server. Any ideas? (which log file would be helpful?)

This behavior is happening on two different servers I have, both with CentOS 6.8 and Onyx 17.0.17 r21

It is almost like I'm experiencing this problem, but I haven't upgraded to Onyx 17.5:

How can I manually fix this?
 
Maybe this page can help you to configure which services shall start on CentOS (scroll down a bit to see an example for how configure a service to run on startup): CentOS - How to manage system services

Thank you.
I ran "chkconfig --list" and could see that postfix wasn't even in the list of recognized services.
So, I ran "chkconfig postfix on" and now it is in the list and it starts up after a restart as it should. It looks like somehow it was stripped out during my upgrade from Plesk 12.5 to Plesk Onyx 17.0.17.
Hope this helps someone else too.
 
This is a known issue.

To be fixed in future updates.

"chkconfig postfix on" will work for you for now.

But be careful if you reconfigure mail. This setting may change back to "off"
