  • 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 Problem, User unknown in virtual mailbox table

I wonder if anyone can help me please.

I bought a new Cent OS 5 (1and1) server which has web-space for two main domains hosted on it, as two different hosting Accounts in Parallels SB Plesk 10.2. One domain I set up with a local email account (on the server) in Plesk, and for the second domain I use a Google Apps Gmail account for external email.

The problem is that when I try to send email from my webmail in Plesk to the other domain, the moment I click the "Send" button a popup error appears saying:

SMTP Server rejected email. Returned:550 5.1.1 Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table

I also tried sending mail using PHP, and the error I get there is:

Error: Failed to add recipient
[SMTP: Invalid response code received from server (code: 550, response: 5.1.1 :
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual mailbox table)]

Could anyone point me in the direction of a solution please? Is it because I have the other domain's web-space hosted on the server that it is looking for it locally, or is it something completely different?

I'm concerned I may have got something wrong in the configuration when I set everything up.

Update: The problem has now resolved, although I'm not sure what has changed.

Hi Igor,

I have done that, here is the output, but it does not resolve the problem. Any other pointer? I am on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Plesk 10.4.4
