  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

SMTP Login Breaks After Every Plesk Update.

New Pleskian
Hi,

Im having issues with qmail after every Plesk update. Everytime Plesk updates, SMTP login breaks.

From our mail log after Plesk micro-update #12 (on my mail account):
Aug 13 06:44:57 server cmd5checkpw: SMTP connect from xxx-xx-xx-xxx.perm.iinet.net.au [xxx.xx.xx.xxx]
Aug 13 06:44:57 server cmd5checkpw: SMTP user mail: auth FAILED from xxx-xx-xx-xxx.perm.iinet.net.au [xxx.xx.xx.xxx]

I have been running this command after every update which seems to fix the issue: /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk –with-spam

It seems to install libauthpsa which fixes the issue?
Aug 13 06:46:07 server courier-authdaemon: stopping authdaemond children
Aug 13 06:46:07 server courier-authdaemon: modules="authpsa ", daemons=5
Aug 13 06:46:07 server courier-authdaemon: Installing libauthpsa
Aug 13 06:46:07 server courier-authdaemon: Installation complete: authpsa

After running the above command (on my mail account):
Aug 13 06:47:58 server cmd5checkpw: SMTP connect from xxx-xx-xx-xxx.perm.iinet.net.au [xxx.xx.xx.xxx]
Aug 13 06:47:58 server cmd5checkpw: SMTP user mail: logged in from xxx-xx-xx-xxx.perm.iinet.net.au [xxx.xx.xx.xxx]

Can anyone shed some light on why Plesk breaks SMTP logins after every update?

Many thanks.
 
Code:
# restorecon /etc/resolv.conf
will temporary solve the problem (without server reboot) until MU with fix will be released.

Uiih,

nice to see it's a known problem. I had it various times and I planned to post this today.
:) With a quick fix it's fine until final release.

So if you need more information, let me know.

Thanks
