  • 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 m not working in a new Plesk 11.5 installation - QMail works fine.

Basic Pleskian
Have gone back and forth through the Plesk panel installer alternating between postfix and qmail.

QMail always works reliably in every situation I have tried.

Postfix silently does not do anything.
Send email from PHP - no errors (includes Horde webmail), mail is silently lost.
Send email to the server from elsewhere - no errors, mail is silently lost.

Any ideas as to where to start looking (or better still a fix!)?
Others have had a look but they have also failed to find a solution.

Could just say forget postfix and use qmail - but that reduces one's confidence in the setup.
Would like to know that we are starting with a good initial setup.
 
Any MTA issues should be investigated in Plesk maillog. Have you tried?
 
tail /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog

Shows this:

postfix/pickup[29691]: 47F217C28D: uid=10008 from=<someone>
postfix/cleanup[30083]: warning: connect to Milter service unix:/var/spool/postfix/ctmilter/ctmilter.sock: No such file or directory
postfix/cleanup[30083]: 47F217C28D: milter-reject: CONNECT from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; from=<[email protected]>
 
Hi!
Since 2 or 3 days I have the same problem. No mails in and no out. postfix is running - a restart doesn't help ('rcpostfix' and '/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mailmng-service --restart-service'), a complete server-restart also not. Recreation of mail handlers (http://kb.parallels.com/en/113664) has no result. A ctasd_initd is not to find on my server. And in google is no solution to find.
Here are some entrys of my logs:

warning: connect to Milter service unix:/var/spool/postfix/ctmilter/ctmilter.sock: No such file or directory

milter-reject: CONNECT from localhost[127.0.0.1]: 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; from=<root>

Any idea would help.
Thanks to all
Sabine
 
Hi SabineW,

could you have a look here? It seems to be parallel to your case.
Give it a shot and please give feedback. It seems, that there is an error in your configuration or a package didn't installed correctly/completely.

Did you tried a bootstrapper repair?
 
Hi Henning,
the suggestion in your link doesn't solve my problem. When I delete this entry in main.cf, there is a change from ' Service unavailable' to 'Relay access denied'.
But the bootstrapper repair was helpful.
Thanks
Sabine
