  • 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.

Qmail Problem after Upgrade to 9.0.0: Need fully-qualified hostname

Good Evening All!

Other than not being able to update to 9.0.0.2, the upgrade from 8.6 wasn't too bad.
I'm only having one major issues with mail being sent to some recipient mail servers.

I'm getting the following bounce message back:
Remote host said: 504 <server>: Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname

In deed the bounce message sender now reads "MAILER-DAEMON@server", while before the update it read "[email protected]. And "server.xxx.de" is a fully qualified hostname, while "server" obviously isn't.

The server settings also show "server.xxx.de" as the set hostname. So it seems that Qmail is suddenly disregarding the latter part of the hostname. This doesn't really fit in with the other bugs, I've read about.
I only realised it because my own mailaccount seems to check for proper hostnames in the header and many other's don't.

While upgrading from 8.6. to 9, I got the first Autoinstaller Success message allright. Then I ran the Updater again, because there are usually left over packages to be updated. And I hoped to get 9.0.0.2. From that point on, I didn't receive any more server emails.

Any ideas and some action from the Plesk Supporters would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Likely Solution or Workaround

By gutfeeling I just tried to play with the hostname setting under Server Settings.
I changed it from server.xxx.de to xxx.de and then back to the original value. And it seems to have corrected itself.
I hope it helps someone else and maybe it can be fixed with the next .release.

Good Night!
