  • 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.

We found many posts and this one is exactly the symptoms:
Webmail fails to send a message: execv(/usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix) : Failed to execute original sendmail utility directly: Permission denied [13]

It looks like the permissions are correct (other post) only thing we didnt do is replace the sendmail.postfix could this file be corrupt in some way?

Thank you in advance for helping us.

Most probably this issue is caused by SELinux. Try to disable it and check how it goes on.
 
Thank you!

Did solve this problem.

After that we had an other bug in plesk missing some libraries .so -> .so3

With some symlinks we fixed it al works fine now.
