  • 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.

Hi, as stated on Title my problem is with:
Plesk 9.5.4
Centos 5 64 bit
qmail-scanner 2.08-5

I found this errors at maillog logs:
Jul 25 01:18:03 serverX spf filter[19753]: Error code: (26) DNS lookup failure
Jul 25 01:18:03 serverX spf filter[19753]: Failed to query MAIL-FROM: Temporary DNS failure for 'example.com'.

Only triggers with this type of spf filter error (DNS lookup failure), rest of mail it's ok.

Queue files at /var/qmail/bin ownership/perms are:
-r-xr-sr-x 1 mhandlers-user popuser 6653 Jul 26 08:33 qmail-queue
-r-xr-sr-x 1 root root 6653 Jul 22 19:57 qmail-queue.backup
-r-s--x--x 1 qmailq qmail 20872 Dec 8 2010 qmail-queue.moved
-rwsr-xr-x 1 qmailq qmail 74344 Dec 8 2010 qmail-queue.orig
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 74344 Jul 22 19:57 qmail-queue.orig.backup

Rpm installed are:
qmail-scanner-2.08-5.el5.art
psa-qmail-1.03-cos5.build95101209.08
psa-qmail-rblsmtpd-0.70-cos5.build95101209.08

At panel mail options activated are: SPF, domainkeys and rbmlstp.

I hope somebody found a solution to this before.

Thanks and best regards...

I forgot tell that without qmail-scanner there is no problem at all.

Could this be the same problem as in this thread?

I am examining the same problem and when I "dig" for the domain I get this error (digging TXT works, though):

~# dig SPF wilson-house.co.uk

; <<>> DiG 9.6-ESV-R4 <<>> SPF wilson-house.co.uk
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 32487


When I query our domain that doesn´t have a SPF entry (but a TXT entry for SPF), the status is NOERROR. So, it seems like a Plesk problem to me.
