Resolved AFTER MIGRATION - email do not exist or cannot receive mail

femotvaff

Regular Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.60 Update #1
AFTER MIGRATION - email do not exist or cannot receive mail

After migration,
DNS was setted
but mail are bounced with the message

"
Recipient address rejected: Us=
er unknown in virtual mailbox table "

Any suggestion?
 
Did you verify the mail server DNS settings with a tool like mxtoolbox.com? Did you verify that the mailboxes exist on the new server? Did you check the maillog what happens when a mail is received?
 
Yes of course.

DNS is ok
MX record was ok
Mail are bouced because they appear to not exist in the server...
but of course they exist.

Recipient address rejected: Us=
er unknown in virtual mailbox table "

it is a problem of plesk
 
In mail log we can see mail arrive...

it is something wrong in PLESK
but as we use the migration tool, we should have the same configurations
 
I am not sure about 451 4.3.5 Server configuration problem - try again later error.

For the Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table error you can try to run the mail repair utility: plesk repair mail example.com -y or if the issue occurs to many domains plesk repair mail -y
 
Thank you
it was already done 2 times, no errors.
and no solution.

Someone have idea how to check "virtual mailbox table" ?
 
Did you check if the Mail service is enabled for the domain (which can be set in the mail settings of the domain)?

You can use the postmap -s /var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual | grep [email protected] command the search for and email address in the virtual mailbox table (replace [email protected] with the email address of the mailbox).
 
The problem seems to be a A Milter program (content filtering software) rejected the email.
Now I have to understand which and why...

NOQUEUE: milter-reject: CONNECT from authsmtp38.domain.it[33.12.8.101]: 451 4.3.5 Server configuration problem - try again later; proto=SMTP

Sapete interpretare questo messaggio?
omeglio perchè plesk chiede un'autenticazione per le mail in arrivo ???
Grazie

The log entry is informative, it indicates that the message was not blocked. The SKIP message at the end of the line indicates that filters are being bypassed. Likely because of an bounceback message.
 
The problem was opendkim, as plesk has his DKIM native, romoving that and reverting postfix configuration solved the problem.
