Resolved mail account can not be crated - ERROR:__main__:mails.domain_id may not be NULL

Basic Pleskian
Hi there,

I have a problem creating a new mail account:

Error: mailmng-outgoing failed: ERROR:__main__:mails.domain_id may not be NULL

Already checked some KB articles like
support.plesk.com

Domain or mail account creation error: mailmng-outgoing failed, domain_id may not be NULL

Applicable to: Plesk for Linux Symptoms One of the following symptoms may apply: Unable to create a domain or a mail account under a subscription: PLESK_ERROR: Error: mailmng-outgoing failed: ...
support.plesk.com support.plesk.com
OR
support.plesk.com

Unable to send email or create mailbox: Error: mailmng-outgoing failed: ERROR:outgoing:mails.domain_id may not be NULL

Symptoms Unable to create a mail account for example.com in Plesk. The following error is shown: PLESK_ERROR: Error: mailmng-outgoing failed: ERROR:outgoing:mails.domain_id may not be NULL Unab...
support.plesk.com support.plesk.com

Those do not help and "plesk repair db" has nothing to fix.


But I am experiencing the error as well when trying "plesk repair mail <domainname>"

Code: 
plesk repair mail mail@<domainname>

Check the article Igor posted above. If the last symptom is not present, this might be a previously unknown issue, in which case you're advised to address Plesk support.
 
I have the same issue -- here it goes:

# plesk repair db -v

Checking the Plesk database using the native database server tools

Run query: CHECK TABLE accounts

Run query: CHECK TABLE actions

Run query: CHECK TABLE admin_aliases


etc.. it finishes without any problems.

this doesnt help either.. blank output:

CollectionId = ipc.ipCollectionId ) WHERE ds.type='mail' AND ipc.ipCollectionId is NULL"

Run full plesk repair mail to fix.

Beware that this is a painful command if you have thousands of mail addresses -- who cannot login during the hour it takes for this command to run.

I just ran this command it ended like this:

[root@jedi gateways]# plesk repair mail

Now the mail service does not allow anyone to login. even after a reboot..
Running plesk repair mail <domainname> for every domain manully now in hopes that that will fix the mailbox passwords, etc.

For the issue, you could check if you have problems in the psa database like
select * from mail WHERE (dom_id LIKE '') OR (dom_id LIKE NULL);
It's not the same database, but the NULL field content has to originate somewhere, so maybe it helps to check the psa.mail table for it.

For logins: I'd be interested in knowing what error messages is logged when a login attempt is made.

hi.. thank you for your reply. Here is what I get now:

MariaDB [psa]> select * from mail WHERE (dom_id LIKE '') OR (dom_id LIKE NULL);
Empty set (0.001 sec)

However I am unable to try the login error message as the problem has gone away after much "plesk repair mail " commands, and mchk commands.
 
Sorry for the late replay.
The problem was fixed using the solution which IgorG mentioned above for Plesk "Obsidian 18.0.28 and earlier" - as well as the problem wasn't existing in this version and popped up by a younger update.

In detail:
The issue was in inconsistency of Plesk database. Missed records in table `IpAddressesCollections.
Code: 
# plesk db -Ne "select ds.ipCollectionId,dp.val from DomainServices
ds left join IpAddressesCollections ipc on (ds.ipCollectionId = ipc.ipCollectionId) inner
join domains d on (ds.dom_id = d.id) left join dom_param dp on (d.id = dp.dom_id and
dp.param = 'ip_addr_id') where ipc.ipAddressId is null"
    10      1
     6      1

So they were added back:

mysql> insert into IpAddressesCollections values (10,1);
     Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into IpAddressesCollections values (6,1);
     Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

And repaired mail settings:

# plesk repair mail -y

    Repairing the mail server configuration
        Reconfiguring all domains and mailboxes ......................... [OK]

    Error messages: 0; Warnings: 0; Errors resolved: 0

The creation of a new mail account without issue was possible again.

Many thanks.. that SELECT command brings pages and pages of output to me.. you only had 2 missing entries, lucky! Shall I really add all that into the database? Scared..
