  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

Plesk panel 9.5.4 SMTP server down ( port 25)

PaddingtonC

Basic Pleskian
I have a Plesk server running Postfix on Ubuntu 10.04 and the SMTP service on port 25 is down. When I stop and then start postfix the server comes up only for a minute and goes down again. I have checked the load on the server and it is low as shown:

top - 04:29:33 up 19 days, 3:25, 4 users, load average: 1.47, 1.78, 2.34
Tasks: 936 total, 1 running, 935 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 0.7%us, 0.3%sy, 0.0%ni, 86.6%id, 11.7%wa, 0.6%hi, 0.1%si, 0.0%st
Mem: 6110496k total, 6072988k used, 37508k free, 251244k buffers
Swap: 12000544k total, 95264k used, 11905280k free, 4370432k cached

IMAP clients are not experiencing a problem and there are no issues with receiving emails for both POP or IMAP. Only SMTP (port 25) is a problem. If I ask clients to use the submission port (587) messages are delivered.

netstat -lnt shows the following results, so it's not a port issue.

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
