  • 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.

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

Volans

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.8 (Ootpa)
Plesk version and microupdate number
Obsidian v18.0.55_build1800230919.07
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
