  • 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.

Question Restart Dovecot, repair mail after Server reboot

R

rordallas

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian 12.10
Plesk version and microupdate number
Version 18.0.68 Update #2
Occasionally I have to reboot my VPS server. After reboot, Dovecot does not restart automatically, I have to manually start it. I also have to issue 'plesk repair mail-y' for email to function properly (i.e to be able to send mail from webmail). I am running Debian 12. Any help would be appreciated.
