• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

I keep seeing these two errors in my mail log since upgrading to 9.5.1...

Apr 22 04:09:51 myalldesigns postfix/master[2920]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling
Apr 22 04:10:51 myalldesigns postfix/local[17748]: fatal: main.cf configuration error: mailbox_size_limit is smaller than message_size_limit

The second looks fairly strait forward but I cannot see where to fix it. I can't find main.cf and I can't find the setting in the GUI.
 
Do you have something like 'fatal: bad net/mask pattern' before 'bad command startup -- throttling' error?
And:

# rpm -qa | grep postfix
postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2
# rpm -ql postfix | grep main.cf
/etc/postfix/main.cf
/etc/postfix/main.cf.default
# grep size_limit /etc/postfix/main.cf
message_size_limit = 1048576
 
I have the same errors:
