• 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.

MU 24 and/or MU 25 break qmail-smtpd

Regular Pleskian
Just a warning for those updating their Plesk 9 servers with the MU 24 'major' security update or the MU 25 PCI compliance update; MU 25 introduces a new autoinstaller version, and you may need to re-run it a second time for the microupdates to actually be applied; it won't give an indication that all it updated was the autoinstaller unless you're used to running microupdates all the time and notice the list didn't spit out at the end.

Additionally, on about 25% of the Plesk 9 servers we updated, the permissions on /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd ended up set to 644 instead of 755, causing inbound email to break. You'll want to check for that after each run of the autoinstaller and fix if necessary.
