New problem with qmail on Plesk 12 that worked on Plesk 11

deltatech

Regular Pleskian
I just moved a bunch of sites from my Plesk 11.5 machine to a newly installed Plesk 12 machine and suddenly those sites that were able to send email from webforms using phpmailer are failing.

After investigating this as far as I know how, I decided to post here.. Here is what I found during my investigation.

/usr/sbin/sendmail is a link to /etc/alternatives/mta
/etc/alternatives/mta is a link to /usr/lib64/plesk-9.0/qmail-sendmail-wrapper

On Plesk 11.5 it is a link to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail

I attempted to change this and didn't have any luck so I put it back.

When viewing the maillog while attempting to send from web forms I see that the from is all messed up. This is the actual envelope-from. It is suppose to be [email protected] but instead it is coming thru as <[email protected]>

So once again, I removed qmail by switching to postfix, then went back to qmail to get a fresh install. This changed nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas?
 
@deltatech,

Link the /usr/sbin/sendmail directly to /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/qmail-sendmail-wrapper.

The /etc/alternatives/mta link should not even be there and, if I am not mistaken, the link (not the file) can be deleted.

Focus on /usr/sbin/sendmail, the optional "cleanup" of links can be done later.

Kind regards....
