• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Issue Mail settings for Nextcloud Extension (local Plesk/Postfix as relay)

Hello everyone,

I am having a problem setting up the email configuration under Plesk. For another Nextcloud instance, which is hosted externally (i.e., not on the same system as Plesk) but also uses Plesk as a mail relay, the same settings work perfectly. Therefore, I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that in the case of the Nextcloud Plesk extension, the system tries to use itself as a mail relay.

I installed the Nextcloud extension in the usual way, which worked wonderfully. In the mail settings, I then set the following:
mailsettings.PNG
























Then I receive the following error message: "There was a problem sending the email. Please check your settings. (Error: Email could not be sent. Check your email server log)". After which I check the mail log in Plesk, but they are completely empty. It seems as if the connection request never arrives at Postfix.

Then I tried changing the server address to "localhost", "127.0.0.1", and "172.16.50.10" (LAN IP of the Plesk server, located behind a NAT), after which I saw the following in the log:

2023-10-26 17:57:31infopostfix/smtpd [1683813]disconnect from localhost.localdomain[::1] ehlo=1 starttls=1 commands=2
2023-10-26 17:57:31infopostfix/smtpd [1683813]lost connection after STARTTLS from localhost.localdomain[::1]
2023-10-26 17:57:31infopostfix/smtpd [1683813]TLS SNI localhost from localhost.localdomain[::1] not matched, using default chain
2023-10-26 17:57:31infopostfix/smtpd [1683813]connect from localhost.localdomain[::1]

I am aware that StartTLS cannot work here, but under "Encryption", I selected "None/STARTTLS", so why doesn't it then try "None"?

I'm a bit stuck and don't know what to do next. Maybe someone here can help me out! :)

Best regards,
Karsten
