  • 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.

Email problems - SPF/DNS - Message aborted

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

One of our domains is having problems receiving email from selected IP's.

This is happening for a selection of domains on our servers but a specific example can be found below:

From the maillog:

Code:
May  1 06:23:32 plesk spf filter[25550]: Error code: (26) DNS lookup failure
May  1 06:23:32 plesk spf filter[25550]: SPF result: tempfail

May  1 06:23:32 plesk /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[13289]: Message aborted.
May  1 06:23:32 plesk postfix/cleanup[23168]: E461A66A71: milter-reject: END-OF-MESSAGE from eu1sys200aog103.obsmtp.com[207.126.144.115]: 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=SMTP helo=<eu1sys200aog103.obsmtp.com>
May  1 06:23:32 plesk postfix/smtpd[10248]: disconnect from eu1sys200aog103.obsmtp.com[207.126.144.115]

I've tried an spf query and it spits back the following:

Code:
# /usr/bin/spfquery_static -ip 207.126.144.155 -sender [email protected] -rcpt-to [email protected]
pass
spfquery: domain of newsint.co.uk designates 207.126.144.155 as permitted sender
Received-SPF: pass (spfquery: domain of newsint.co.uk designates 207.126.144.155 as permitted sender) client-ip=207.126.144.155; [email protected];

/etc/postfix/main.cf looks like this:

Code:
virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual_domains
virtual_alias_maps = $virtual_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual
virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/vmailbox

smtpd_use_tls = yes
smtp_tls_security_level = may
smtp_use_tls = no
smtpd_timeout = 3600s
smtpd_proxy_timeout = 3600s

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, check_client_access pcre:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/no_relay.re, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination
virtual_mailbox_base = /var/qmail/mailnames
virtual_uid_maps = static:110
virtual_gid_maps = static:31
virtual_transport = plesk_virtual
plesk_virtual_destination_recipient_limit = 1
mailman_destination_recipient_limit = 1
smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_rbl_client sbl.spamhaus.org
myhostname = plesk.redpaint.co.uk
message_size_limit = 20480000
smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:12768
non_smtpd_milters = inet:localhost:12768
sender_dependent_default_transport_maps = hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/sdd_transport_maps

It's a strange one and I'm not sure what's going on but something is preventing these emails from being delivered.

Any thoughts?
 
This is still happening. Trying to understand and rectify the problem, are we the only ones experiencing this?
