QMail Problem after upgrade to 8.1.1

[helmi]

anyone else not able to send out mails after the actual update?

qmail fills up the queue (800 mails and counting) but doesn't send anything out.

any ideas yet how to get it fixed? I removed dr. web and spamassassing. dr. web seems to have licencing issues after the update.

best,
helmi

I too have this problem. I cant even add domains to customer accounts either.. it specifies a qmail problem and quits with a plesk fatal exception.

 

[Hal9000]

what operating system are you guys using?

 

[fizz]

**** *** fedora.. Old version... Were waiting for the new server to get here in which Ill be loading Ubuntu Server on... Then just have to figure out how to move all the data..

 

[fizz]

Ok guys.. this is what was done on my server to fix the issue.

First, make sure you have the psa-qmail update in /root/psa/PSA_8.1.1/{dist}/base


next, rpm-q psa-qmail
{should out put one, but in my case, there were 5}
rpm -el --nodeps nameinlist

I removed all 5

The rpm -ivh psa-qmail-1.03-fc1.build80170322.17.i586.rpm

Now everything is working again! your milage may vary but this is what got me up and running.

this Qmail problem sounds farmiliar

Yes, this Qmail problem sounds familiar, Maybe my past upgrade experience will help...




This is my current configuration…

Hostname www.mydomain.com
Plesk version psa v8.1.0_build81061226.14 os_Debian 3.1
Operating system Linux 2.6.8-3-686
License key number PLSK.00000000.0002

Plesk currently indicates there 2 updates available...
New updates are available for Plesk 8.1.0, Plesk 8.1.1

...However after the grief I experienced trying to upgrade from v8.0.1 to v8.1.0 I am extremely reluctant to perform the new upgrades. I can not afford to have my server and all my clients’ domains go down again for 4 to 5 days. It is apparent from all the recent post that upgrading Plesk to v8.1.1 is plagued with similar problems. And very few solutions to problems seem to be posted here.

Perhaps, what I experienced when I upgraded to v8.0.1 will be of assistance to those having Qmail problems following the v8.1.1 upgrade. If this works please let me know…

... after a few days SWsoft Tech Support logged into my server & fixed the problem, I am not exactly sure what they did but it had to do with the problem they indicated...

I hope this helps, but I am not sure if this has anything to do with the current Qmail problem, but the symthom sounds very similat. Qmail would start but would immediately stop...

If this works or if there is something different that needs to be done on this new upgrade, please let me and everyone else know...

thanks

REL4

Solution: Remove all Maps zones, and restart qmail. After this you can add 1 zone.

Sorry, but this doens'nt solve my problem.

My OS is Suse 9.3 (1&1 Server).

Qmail service is running. I can start or stop it, but no Mails were dilivered.

The problem is really urgent.

My customers are gettign angry.

Any other ideas?

Hopefully, HMnet

@ crnunez:

I want to remove the maps zone via the control panel, this doesn't function. Plesk quits with a fatal error:

Unable to update superserver configuration file: MailMng->setMapsProtection() failed: mailmng failed: mailmng: popen_exec: command failed code: 1 , Unable to determine the domain name of your computer.
Please, run the 'domainname' or 'hostname -f' command
from the console and make sure that the command returns your domain name.

ERROR while trying to get domain name
Check the error reason(see log file: /tmp/psa-rblmng-script___reconfiguration.log), fix and try again

So I removed the maps manually via /etc/xinetd.d/smtp_psa and /etc/xinetd.d/smtps_psa

xinet.d restarted - but no mails were deliverd

 

[HMnet]

If I send an email to the plesk-server, I got this mailer-deamon-error:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at xxx.rootmaster.info.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
...
Received-SPF: none (www.xxx.info: domain at xxx.de does not designate permitted sender hosts)
...

I hope anyone can help me soon...

[HMnet]

OK, I think problem is solved...

I post the solution in a few minutes...

 

[HMnet]

Sorry, for the delay...

Here is my solution:
In my case the file /etc/hosts had wrong entries, so the plesk-autoinstaller started the installation and aborts after a few moments. So the installation wasn't finished correctly and some parts of the 8.1.1 were already installed but the files were still version 8.1.0.
So I corrected the hosts-file, and started the installation manually again. The control-panel installation doesn't worked:
I located the files in the folder: /srv/psa/PSA_8.1.1/<dist>/base
an ran the rpm -U command with the psa-8.1.1-suse9.3.build81070322.16.x86_64.rpm

After this update-installation the mails were delivered again and I was able to do the rest of the update over the cp.

I had the same problem as crnunez, and also noticed that the -Rt0 switched stopped working.

Then when I removed all MAPS zones Qmail started working and so also the -Rt0 switch. Looks like /var/qmail/bin/relaylock is broken?

 

[nulleffect]

How do you remove qmail MAPS zones?

 

[eugenevdm]

Log in to server as Admin, click on Server, Click on Mail, Untick "DNS zones for RBL+ Service" or remove the entries there.

 

[nulleffect]

Oh. I dont have that selected anyway. I have a clean installed of Plesk 8.1.1 on Fedora 6, and i CAN send emails using a normal mail client, but i cant receive any email from apache/php scripts.

Any ideas anyone!??!

 

[eugenevdm]

start a new thread with your problem or contact SWSoft support.

Try disabling selinux if activated.
