Mail password gone after restore

Webroy

Regular Pleskian
Webmasters,

I have had to restore a server from a backup after a crash. All went fine and the server was up and running within the hour. But then the problems came. My customers could not connect with their mailaccounts. When i change the password it all works fine again. Did i forget to restore a file where the passwords off the mailaccounts are? And which file is that?

Thanks for the answer.

It was a Centos 5 and plesk 9.5.2. server.
 
Hi

Try running as root

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mail_auth_view

It will show you the passwords stored in the mysql database for each email account. Maybe you are trying to use old passwords.
