Issue mchk failed: ==> Checking for: mailsrv_conf_init... fail

Hi,

I'm running into an issue that started with someone not being able to send and receive emails after updating Plesk.

I've tried tried the repair utility and this resulted in the following error:

[root@vps2 ~]# plesk repair mail

Repairing the mail server configuration

  Reconfigure all domains and mailboxes? [Y/n] Y
    Reconfiguring all domains and mailboxes ......................... [2018-04-23 17:02:09.806] ERR [util_exec] proc_close() failed ['/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mchk'] with exit code [1]
[FAILED]
    - mchk failed: ==> Checking for: mailsrv_conf_init... fail

Error messages: 0; Warnings: 0; Errors resolved: 0

Running mailsrv_conf_init alone results in this error:

[root@vps2 ~]# mailsrv_conf_init
Fatal error: plesk::mail:: postfix:: PostfixConfigurationError(/usr/sbin/postconf: fatal: close /etc/postfix/main.cf.tmp: Operation not permitted

The latest psa-mail-driver-common-17.5.3-cos7.build1705180418.14.x86_64 and plesk-mail-pc-driver-17.5.3-cos7.build1705180418.16.x86_64 completely broke postfix and plesk repair mail gives the same error. I'm also seeing this:

I've just ran another plesk update through the web interface. There was another update available and installing it seems to have fixed my issues. I think the previous update I ran was saturday (or close to it), which must have contained the error.
