• The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Qmail uses incorrect IP Address

Hello All!

Since the upgrade to Pleask 8.6 Qmail is misbehaving slightly.
Qmail used to use the standard IP address eth0 to send email.

Qmail is now using a secondary IP address eth0:1 instead which is creating bad SFP problems.

server:/var/qmail/control # ifconfig (real addresses have been x-ed out)
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:81:5C:67:6F

I did try the following approach http://forum.swsoft.com/showthread.php?t=47946&highlight=outgoingip creating an /var/qmail/control/outgoingip file, but this didn't help. I presume this will only work with an additonal Qmail patch which I'd like to avoid.

Can anybody suggest a method how to fix this problem or to convince Qmail to use the standard IP address again?
Thanks for your responses!
