Hi,

I've got a problem with "forwarding only" emails with outgoing mail control on one domain:

When I'm trying to send an email to one of this email addresses with mail forwarding I get this in the maillog:

Mar 20 15:56:13 mail postfix/pipe[742]: 86FAC1004D2: to=<[email protected]>, relay=plesk_virtual, delay=529, delays=527/0.01/0/2.8, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: Mail handler 'limit-out' said: REPLY:554:5.7.0 The message could not be sent. You are not allowed to use sendmail utility. 4.2.1 Message can not be delivered at this time )

I found this: Mails from contact form or after scheduling tasks are not getting delivered: You are not allowed to use sendmail utility but sendmail is enabled Server-Wide:

Tools & Settings > Mail Server Settings > Allow users and scripts to use Sendmail - enabled

and Tools & Settings > Outgoing Mail Control> Subscription > domain.com > Change Limit from the corresponding domain "Sendmail Usage Policy" is set to "Default server-wide settings (Sendmail is allowed)".

I've tested some other forwarding only email addresses on other subscriptions and these seem to work. They are sent correctly. That is very strange. Any hints, what I can do/search/control next?

I've looked in the plesk database table "mail" but couldn't found differences between the problematic and the non-problematic email addresses.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks a lot in advance and best wishes,

Joska

Hmmm, may be a bug. This domain seemed to be missing in the plesk outgoing mail limits database.

After I added the domain with

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailmng-outgoing --add-subscription --main-domain-name=domain.com

the emails for that domain addresses went through.

Here is someone with a similar problem:

Issue - Outgoing limits db after moving domain

I used the new move domain functionality to move a domain to another subscription. The domain is now missing from the outgoing mail limits database.

talk.plesk.com

And that is EXACTLY what I did with that problematic domain - I moved it to another subscription and after that it seems to be deleted out of the plesk outgoing mail limits database.

Is that repairable? If not - where should i report that bug?

Best wishes,

Joska

Thank you Josch, I followed the steps you provided, and after a while the problem was solved, it turned out that I didn't check this "Allow users and scripts to use Sendmail - enabled"
