davbod

New Pleskian
followed deceiptive instructions How to configure an external SMTP server in Plesk - Support Cases from Plesk Knowledge Base
and got this error
Installation or removal requests for the following components conflict with each other:

MSMTP (relay only), Dovecot

All conflicts should be resolved before proceeding with update. To resolve the conflict, deselect one or more of the listed components. More conflicts might be detected after you resolve this one and click Continue.

if i let only MSMTP (relay only) i will have only SMTP not and mailboxes

if i let only Dovecot i will have only mailboxes, but not SMTP

seems like is conflict between SMTP and MAilboex.

This is correct behavior. When MSMTP is installed there will be no mail-related functionality available in Plesk. The Mail section and UI elements related to mailboxes are not available. As described in the Plesk documentation. And you can use either MSMTP or Dovecot with Postfix. Not both.

If you want to relay email and keep mail functionality in Plesk you're best option is to customize your servers Postfix configuration. And example explanation for changing the Postfix configuration for use with SendGrid can be found here. The same steps applicable for almost any other email provider.
 
If you click "next" on this step it will check the dependencies and tell you as well that you cannot install install MSMTP if you want to keep Dovecot

please write some solution if you know, don't repeat the same of subject of the post
 
The "solution" was already posted in this thread, but you seem to not understand it (or ignore it)

It is technically not possible to install/use the MSMTP service, if you have a POP3/IMAP server (dovecot or courier) installed.

If you want to use MSMTP, you need to remove the POP3/IMAP service
If you still want to use dovecot, you cannot install/use the MSMTP service

Because if i am activating MSMTP on version 18.0.48 i can not have and MSMTP and Dovecot (mailboxes from plesk) because they are conflicting each other. Now i am looking to have MSMTP and to set somehow external mailboxes but to keep the extension of my domain for example [email protected] or [email protected]


so again to have MSMTP on plesk and to set somehow mailboxes to keep the domain name for example [email protected] or [email protected]

How? Thank you!
