  • 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.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When migrating e-mail box from a DirectAdmin server that has just been created (no mail received yet), the migrator gives the following error when syncing:

Failed to copy mail messages of mailbox '[email protected]': Command execution failed on the local server with non-zero exit code.
command: /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mailmng-core --set-mailbox-disk-quota --domain-name=domain.com --mailname=emptymailbox --disk-quota=-1
exit code: 1
stdout: Maximal allowed number of attempts to create a maildirsize file exceeded
System error 11: Resource temporarily unavailable
Fatal error: plesk::mail::FSError(unable to store mbox quota: Success: "/var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com/emptymailbox")

Maximal allowed number of attempts to create a maildirsize file exceeded
System error 11: Resource temporarily unavailable
Fatal error: plesk::mail::FSError(unable to store mbox quota: Success: "/var/qmail/mailnames/domain.com/emptymailbox")​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a new mailbox on DirectAdmin (make sure it hasn't received any mail yet) and try to migrate the account to a plesk server.​
ACTUAL RESULT:

Hi Peon,

I've checked the kb, but shouldn't this error come up all the time if that's the case? It only happens on a migration where there's an empty mailbox. If I delete the empty mailbox, the migration completes without any problems.
 
Could you clarify, does the affected Plesk server contains "/" symbol in hostname?

I tried to set hostname with "/" symbol in Ubuntu server 14 and in Centos 7, but system refuse creating such hostname.
