Resolved poppassd not working cause webmail cannot change password

[nethubonline]

Hi,

If I try to change password via Horde/Roundcube webmail, it prompts error, and I telnet 127.0.0.1 106, it return "Connection closed by foreign host." immediately.

If I update /etc/xinetd.d/poppassd_psa, "only_from = localhost" to "only_from = 127.0.0.1", then everything works.

Environment:
Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.27 Update #1
CentOS 7.8.2003 & CentOS 8.1.1911

How to duplicate:

1. fresh install a Plesk with Horde & Roundcube
2. create a subscription and email address
3. login webmail and change password
4. you will then see the failure

Another way to duplicate:

1. fresh install a Plesk
2. telnet 127.0.0.1 106
3. telnet localhost 106
4. you will then see the failure

Hi nethubonline,

It sounds like a known bug (PPPM-11839), I think you can use the next workaround till the fix:
- Check "/etc/xinetd.d/poppassd_psa"
- Change "only_from" line to "localhost ::1 127.0.0.1" and restart xinetd (recommended)

Oh, thanks AYamshanov,

It works for me.

I am surprise that this problem exists for almost 6 months, hope this easy fix can be applied to coming release.
