  • 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.

Send Mail error from SMF Forum

I have a number of domains set up on a Virtual Server running Plesk/Liniux/UNIX.

I install SMF Forums on several of these domains and with all email won't work. I cannot get the forum to send email either by using the default PHP Default or by setting up a SMTP connection. Just won't work either way. I've used SMTP servers both internal to the client, external on a different domain on the same VDS and on domains outside of the Plesk server.

Nothing works.

I've looked through the posts here and cannot find any solutions.

Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I would really like to get these working for my clients!

Thanks,

Scott Doyle
 
If you're using QMAIL...

I've had trouble in the past of PHP sending email through qmail. Though somewhere (I don't remember exactly where) I'd seen a suggestion that helped. I'm using Redhat ES3 currently, change the directory names as needed of course.

In the php.ini file, try changing the sendmail_path line. If I remember right, by default, it has the following line:

sendmail_path = /var/qmail/bin/qmail

I changed it to the following, which now works much better at sending mail:

sendmail_path = /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
