If the above links didn't already help you, you might consider opening your own thread. Please don't hesite to do that and don't try to post on threads, which are months, or years old ( even if the issue/problem might be similar ). Help the community and the forum - users, with decent, exact informations about:

Your operating system ( Ubuntu / Debian / Centos ... inkl. the version number )
Your current used Plesk- Product ( inkl. MU-Number ... i.e.: Plesk 12.0.18, MU #60 )
Your depending installed mail - server software ( postfix, qmail / courier-imap, dovecot )

Please use a detailed title for your new thread, so that the community and the forum - users may identify the content by the title. Please avoid harassing words like "urgent", "please help" or pretty useless adjectives like "weird", "strange" or descriptions as "not working". Keep in mind, that a lot of users find forum content over search engines like Google/Yahoo/Bing and they mostly won't use such words or description, when looking for content.
A precise description in the title will lead to more visiting users and the result will be a much faster resolution for your issue/problem or question, because more visiting users means more activity and more brain-power. ( Example: "Plesk 12.0.18, MU #60 - postfix - "ct-milter: Too many open files" )

It is wise to include log - entries and/or depending configuration files, because this will often point to the exact issue and instead of waiting for a request to post them, you could include it to your thread/post. Please bookmark the following KB - articles, which points to all such files for Plesk:

Plesk for Linux services logs and configuration files ( KB - article: 111 283 )

Plesk for Windows service logs and configuration files ( KB - article: 111 289 )

There are several more interesting commands over the command line ( CLI ) for Plesk for example, please have a look at the next informations to solve a lot of issues just with a single command. Keep in mind, that the additional string "--help" and a command often leads to usefull informations about command options!

Example:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --help

Use the Plesk autoinstaller, to install components, update/upgrade/patch your current Plesk product:

autoinstaller with latest patches included:

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --reinstall-patch --install-component base


Use the "bootstrapper" - repair utility. A powerfull utility which detects and repairs common misconfigurations and reset some standard settings:

/usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/pp12.0.18-bootstrapper/bootstrapper.sh repair

Be aware, that this path is to the latest bootstrapper, depending on your system and updates/upgrades/patches, this path might be slightly different. If the command doesn't work for you, try "ls /usr/local/psa/bootstrapper/" to list your own most recent version and add the string "repair" to start the repair procedure.

Since Plesk 12.5, the "repair" utility has been re-invented and new great features have been added. It is now much easier to repair misconfigurations, just with a single command. Please use the command:

/usr/local/psa/bin/repair --help

... over your command line, to see possible commands of this powerfull utility and please read the documentation for further informations: Plesk Self Repair Utility ( Online documention Administrator's Guide, Plesk 12.5 )

Please have a look at the Plesk 11.5 documentation for all possible commands over the command line:

=> Reference for Command Line Utilities, Plesk / Parallels Plesk 11.5 for Linux

Please have a look at the Plesk 12 documentation for all possible commands over the command line:

=> Reference for Command Line Utilities, Plesk 12.0 for Linux
