• Please be aware: Kaspersky Anti-Virus has been deprecated
    With the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, "Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Servers" will be automatically removed from the servers it is installed on. We recommend that you migrate to Sophos Anti-Virus for Servers.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.
  • We’re working on enhancing the Monitoring feature in Plesk, and we could really use your expertise! If you’re open to sharing your experiences with server and website monitoring or providing feedback, we’d love to have a one-hour online meeting with you.

Hi nisamudeen97,

pls. be informed, that it up to the server administrator, to configure the log - level for the depending service log. If you need a more decent output in a service log, consider to choose a higher level, than the standard defined log - level for that service in the depending configuration file.

451 4.7.1 Service unavailable
This can be an indication of a non - working depending service, or a depending service, blocked by a firewall setting. Consider to restart

/etc/init.d/ctasd_initd restart
/etc/init.d/ctmilter_initd restart
/etc/init.d/pc-remote restart

... and pls. look out for possible issues in the depending log - file for further investigations and suggestions.


Often enough, the Plesk repair utility is able to resolve misconfigurations, so pls. consider as well to use the command:

plesk repair mail
... to repair issues with your mail - server.


An additional method to repair mail - server issues, is to switch between qmail and postfix and smtp-courier and dovecot. ( NO current eMail will be touched or deleted during this procedure! ):

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --install-component qmail
( wait for the procedure to be finished, pls... )
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --install-component postfix


/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --install-component courier

( wait for the procedure to be finished, pls... )
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --install-component dovecot



If you need help with further investigations, pls. consider to post more informations from your mail - log, or/and syslog and consider as well to post the depending configuration file(s) from your used mail - server.
