  • 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.

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:

May 15 18:06:53 ns postfix/local[1558]: fatal: main.cf configuration error: mailbox_size_limit is smaller than message_size_limit
