  • 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.

Could you provide additional related details from maillog? Error messages, etc.
 
This is what happens, it seems to be related to amavis:

Code:
postfix/smtp[29374]: E7DE4124AA1D: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=38321, delays=38321/0.04/0.01/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused)

Thing is I did not do anything, restarting the services (postfix, dovecot, amavis, ...) did not solve the issue, just restarting the server did.
Now it seems to be stable (almost two days).
