SMTP Login Breaks After Every Plesk Update.

[Greg Sevastos]

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.

# restorecon /etc/resolv.conf

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
