• 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.

Postfix doesn't load on server restart

Hi,

we're running some cloud servers, all CentOS 7 latest update, with Plesk 12.5 latest MU

noticed on all of them that after a server restart (the first 4 times the server restarts were unannounced / unintentional - caused by data warehouse issue) the postfix service wasn't working afterwards. [Got phone calls from customers wondering about email issue].

Initially just logged in via SSH, ran
# systemctl restart postfix
and postfix ran fine. Didn't dig further.

Now it happened again - and I wanted to know why. Did
# systemctl status postfix
with result
postfix.service - Postfix Mail Transport Agent
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/postfix.service; disabled)
Active: active (running) since Tue 2015-11-17 23:22:29 CET; 11h ago
Now why would the postfix service be disabled on startup?
Cornfirmed that it's disabled on startup (and looked for other disabled services) with
# systemctl list-unit-files --type=service

and enabled the service with
# systemctl enable postfix

---
Same scenario on all our servers !

Igor, may i ask you to check on this scenario? Didn't have the issue on any previous Plesk version all the way back to 9. Nor did I have it running Plesk 12.5 on CentOS 6 previously.
All servers are "Personal Cloud Servers" and when ordered come with Plesk pre-loaded.

Plesk 12.5 on installation doesn't seem to check that/if the underlying CentOS 7 has postfix enabled on server startup even though postfix is chosen as mail transport.

Thanks :)
