Mail config broken after updating plesk

[Michael_G]

I clicked update on the plesk panel web interface and afterwards my SMTP does not work any more. It was only a update of very few components of 11.0.9.

I recognized that at /etc/sasl2 only the file smtpd.conf.rpmsave does exist, but no smtpd.conf. So I suppose something went wrong during the update?

How could I repair that??

Thanks for the hint, but "/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam" did not help.

There is still no /etc/sasl2/smtpd.conf and in /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog I find
"warning: SASL authentication failure: cannot connect to saslauthd server: No such file or directory"

So I know something is wrong, but what??

At the moment I am with the stable version 11.0.9 Update #55. Do I need to go for a newer (unstable) release?

What are you using? qmail or postfix?

/usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mailmng --features | grep SMTP_Server
$features['SMTP_Server'] = "Postfix";
$features['SMTP_Server_package'] = "postfix";

arf...i had to switch to qmail cause of unsolved problems with postfix. I can't help you on this hit.

OK, that was the best tip! After switching to qmail everything works just fine!!
