• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Issue Custom Dovecot Config fails (2.4) – Need Help

austriadesign

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 24.04.3
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.73
After the latest Plesk and Dovecot update, I had to rewrite a few configs but with my custom config I struggle a bit. After a few hours without any issues, all the clients suddenly stopped working and cannot fetch or connect to the server.

On my server there are about 250 mail accounts active. I am using the latest Warden Anti Spam & Virus extension.

I've also fixed the 99-warden.conf configuration file to the new 2.4x version syntax but without any custom configs in the 99-custom.config file, Dovecot runs fine.

Errors I get (with 99-custom.config):
Oct 01 16:21:22 HOST dovecot[993974]: pop3-login: Login aborted: Connection closed (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 60 secs) (auth_process_not_ready): user=<>, rip=xxxx, lip=xxxx, TLS: Connection closed, session=<AZ6rkRlAo+E+Y5I3>

Oct 01 16:21:22 HOST dovecot[993967]: master: Warning: service(auth): client_limit (1000) reached, client connections are being dropped

Oct 01 16:21:23 HOST dovecot[993967]: master: Warning: service(auth): client_limit (1000) reached, client connections are being dropped

Oct 01 16:21:25 HOST dovecot[993974]: imap-login: Warning: Auth process not responding, delayed sending initial response (greeting): user=<>, rip=xxxx, lip=xxxx, session=<RDzXlBlA/cixgqgn>

Oct 01 16:21:26 HOST dovecot[993974]: imap-login: Login aborted: Server shutting down (disconnected before auth was ready, waited 11 secs) (auth_process_not_ready): user=<>, rip=xxxx, lip=xxxx, session=<RDzXlBlA/cixgqgn>

Errors I get (with or without the custom config):
imap-login: Login aborted: Connection closed: SSL_accept() failed: error:0A000416:SSL routines::sslv3 alert certificate unknown: SSL alert number 46 (disconnected during TLS handshake) (tls_handshake_not_finished): user=<>, rip=xxxx, lip=xxxx, TLS handshaking: SSL_accept() failed: error:0A000416:SSL routines::sslv3 alert certificate unknown: SSL alert number 46, session=<+O5WZR5AvI3VolcL>

Host and IPs are anonyimized with HOST and xxxx.

I don’t get it why the „client_limit (1000) reached” error appears.

Hopefully someone could help me out. Thank you
