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

Resolved poppassd not working cause webmail cannot change password

nethubonline

Regular Pleskian
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.
