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

Plesk Qmail with MailScanner

I have been trying for some time now to get Plesk's Qmail to work with MailScanner either directly or via mailertable, both without any success.

When trying to integrate directly, messages are scanned and placed into the Qmail queue, but then hang there.

With mailertable, I've setup Qmail on one IP address and sendmail on another with the domain's MX pointed to sendmail and mailertable pointed to Qmail. I've also setup Qmail on port 26 and sendmail on port 25 on the same IP address. With both of these setups, a messages comes in, gets scanned, and then produces the infamous "mail loops back to me (MX problem?)" sendmail error. I have verified that the proper MTA is listening on the proper IP/port with both these setups by telnet and EHLO.

I have basically tried everything I can think of to make this work and I'm totally stumped as to why, in the case of the mailertable setup, the mail is being looped. I have the same exact setup on another box with MailScanner and CommunigatePro and it works great.

I was told that there are existing Plesk setups with MailScanner and that maybe someone here would be kind enough to point me in the right direction.

Thank you,

You might be able to implement mailscanner the same way I'm doing it in the qmail-scanner rpm. You create a wrapper around qmail-queue to call your 3rd party scanner, which then knows to pass it back to the original qmail-queue binary.
 
and how do you implement mailscanner once qmail-scanner is installed.. Like i want the frontend (mailwatch)

You wouldn't use both of them together. Im saying if you wanted some pointers, take apart the qmail-scanner rpm to see if that is helpful in implementing mailscanner.
