  • 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.

Resolved Can't send e-mails: my_popen(): execve(/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/sendmail/sendmail.postfix) failed: No such

Hi all,

I unfortunately can no longer send emails via the PHP in-built mail function after the last update I did about a day ago.

Since the last update, the server no longer sends emails via the php mail function.

In the mail.err-log, frequent messages "my_popen(): execve(/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/sendmail/sendmail.postfix) failed: No such file or directory" appear.

The fail /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/sendmail/sendmail.postfix does not exist.

I tried extracting the file as advised here:
Issue - Mail form does not work: execve(/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/sendmail/sendmail.postfix) failed: No such file

From this source:
Index of /PSA_17.8.11/dist-deb-Debian-8.0-x86_64/opt/maildrivers

Unfortunately, in the plesk-mail-pc-driver_17.8.11-debian9.0.build1708180927.11_amd64 package, the folder ./usr/lib/plesk-9.0/sendmail is just empty and the required file does not exist there.

Does anyone have any advice on how I could get ahold of the required file? Is there any plesk repair routine that could replace the file?

I run Debian 8 and the newest Plesk release.

Best,
Michael
