  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Plesk 9.3 - can't send email to one domain

Hi here's the details to my 'pull my hair out' problem:

We're a design agency with our own VPS that is running Plesk 9.3 for Linux/Unix.

Our email (qmail) is able to send and receive all mail APART from being able to send to our mail client at a single domain. None of the emails are getting through to them and they are a multinational company.

Emails to them simply end up in our mail queue. We have no issues receiving from them or sending out to anyone else.

Bounced error message reads:
CNAME lookup failed temporarily. (#4.4.3)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too long.

but I've raised a support ticket with their tech guys and there's no blacklist on our IP address. So I'm at a lost as to what the issue could be. This only started happening about a week ago, and we've no issues for the last 3 years.

Also, our qmail service in plesk seems to stop itself every so often and I have to restart it through plesk or no emails will come in. Our settings are as seen in the screenshot. Is this normal?

PROBLEM SOLVED!!

updated /etc/resolv.conf
so it reads:

nameserver <your ip address e.g. 999.88.77.66.01>
nameserver <your ip address e.g. 999.99.77.66.02>

Phew.
