• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

POP Authentication Error / Email piping / WHMCS

Hi, I use www.whmcs.com for billing on my Ubuntu 6.06 / Plesk 8.1.0 servers.

The support email account for the WHMCS ticket system is hosted externally. To get emails into the ticket system from that external email account WHMCS pops the emails into itself using a cron job using GET. This worked fine a few months back but isn't anymore and have not been able to figure out why.

When running "GET http://support.domain.com/pipe/pop.php" in a browser I get an "Authentication Failed" from WHMCS but the host, email address and password have been verified to be correct and work in Thunderbird and via webmail (Not Horde).

Don't see any logging in the log files when the cronjob runs every 5 minutes. A smilliar WHMCS GET cronjob works just fine but doesn't deal with emails and it logs fine in /var/log/syslog.

Tried playing with the qmail control files but nothing there. Not an APF firewall issues either.

Any ideas as to why I'm getting the authentication error?
