  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Email Issue - Plesk?

Hi - still having a weird issue with emails & webmail

I cannot get emails to work on a domain

The DNS CHECK SAYS
CheckDNS.NET is asking root servers about authoritative NS for domain
Got DNS list for 'site.com' from ns2.nic.uk or ns2.nic.uk
Found NS record: ns.site.com[195.xxx.xxx.xxx], was resolved to IP address by ns2.nic.uk
Found NS record: ns2.site.com[195.xxx.xxx.xxx], was resolved to IP address by ns2.nic.uk
Domain has 2 DNS server(s)

CheckDNS.NET is verifying if NS are alive
DNS server ns.site.com[195.xxx.xxx.xxx] is alive and authoritative for domain site.com
DNS server ns2.site.com[195.xxx.xxx.xxx] is alive and authoritative for domain site.com
2 server(s) are alive

CheckDNS.NET checks if all NS have the same version
All 2 your servers have the same zone version 1294862776

CheckDNS.NET verifies www servers
Checking HTTP server www.site.com [195.xxx.xxx.xxx]
HTTP server www.lsite.com[1195.xxx.xxx.xxx] answers on port 80
Received: HTTP/1.1 200 OK (Server: Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS)) 52ba

CheckDNS.NET tests mail-servers
Domain site.com has only one mail-server
Checking mail server (PRI=10) mail.site.com [195.xxx.xxx.xxx]
Mail server mail.site.com[195.xxx.xxx.xxx] answers on port 25
<<< 220 vvps-xxx.site.com ESMTP Postfix
>>> HELO www.checkdns.net
<<< 250 vvps-8xxx.site.com
>>> MAIL FROM: <[email protected]>
<<< 250 2.1.0 Ok
>>> RCPT TO: <[email protected]>
<<< 250 2.1.5 Ok
>>> QUIT
Mail server mail.lsite.com [195.xxx.xxx.xxx] accepts mail for site.com
All MX are configured properly
So all is OK here

IN PLESK
- in Domain > Mail Accounts > Mail Settings > Activate mail service on domain is checked/activated & webmail is set to Horde
- there are two email accounts on the domain
- If I click on webmail, I can access the webmail

BUT THE PROBLEM
- If I send an email to either of the accounts - they bounce back. The error says
<[email protected]>: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for
name=mail.domain.com type=A: Host not found
Reporting-MTA: dns; vvps-myserver.domain.com
X-Postfix-Queue-ID: 368D2A5165D
X-Postfix-Sender: rfc822; [email protected]
Arrival-Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2011 22:21:40 +0000 (GMT)

Final-Recipient: rfc822; [email protected]
Original-Recipient: rfc822;[email protected]
Action: failed
Status: 5.4.4
Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; Host or domain name not found. Name service error
for name=mail.domain.com type=A: Host not found

So why are the emails failing? Any clues anyone?

ALSO - I can send emails out from the domain via webmail. But if I click reply, they bounce back. So I can only send not receive.

First of all try common steps for fixing all mail problems:
- Rebuild mailsettings with
# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam
- Try to reproduce problem again and investigate /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog
