• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

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

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....
