  • 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.

Cannot change mail account password

Hello there,
I've just update to 9.2.1 and the first problem. Cannot change email passwords for users.
In plesk control panel I go to domain->mail accounts->account I want to change->preferences and enter a new password.
After I click "OK", there is no message at all (not sure if there was one before about successfully changed password), but when I doublecheck with mail_auth_view - I see that password was not changed.
(btw, is there a way to force encoded passwords, not plaintext ones)?

Anyone else can confirm this bug? Anyone has any suggestions?

Edit. As a side note - password changes via Horde webmail change password feature.

Not sure if it helped, but after some reading up, I've set a checkbox "Check the passwords for mailboxes in the dictionary" in mail server settings, clicked apply. Then removed a checkbox again.
Now I can change password (my guess for some reason password checking in dictionary was on and it silently refused to set a simple password after upgrade, even though there were no checkbox on this setting).
 
You can also run the mchk utility:

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --help
Synopsis:
mchk [OPTION]
--without-spam - restore all settings except for SpamAssassin configuration
--with-spam - restore all settings
--spam-only - restore only SpamAssassin settings

Also, it sets proper ownership/permissions for all mailboxes (/var/qmail/mailnames/*).
