My production mail server is broken atm.
 
Take into consider to tell the community which OS/Plesk Version do you have and are there other error messages in /var/log/plesk/panel.log or /var/log/maillog.
This sounds like a broken installation. Did you update your system before?
if so you can try
Code:
# plesk installer --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --upgrade-installed-components

otherwise since it is your production mail service your best bet would be to contact Plesk support directly so they can investigate for you How to get technical support for Plesk? & How to get support directly from Plesk?
