  • 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.

Spamassassin preventing emails

Hi all,

Ive recently performed a fresh install of Plesk 9.2.1 on Centos 5.2 x86_64.

We've migrated a few sites over from our older Plesk servers, but we have noticed mail is not being delivered to our clients if we enable Spamassassin for their mailbox(es).
When creating new accounts explicitly WITHOUT Spamassassin, emails are received just fine.

What makes the mystery more confusing is if we disable Spamassassin protection on a mailbox, emails still dont get through.

Does anyone know anything we should try to return to full functionality?

Regards,
Mykel
 
problem solved

i solved the issue. it seems selinux was preventing sendmail, postdrop and procmail from working properly.

im not skilled enough to pinpoint the exact selinux chcon problem (it seems its in multiple places) so i disabled selinux entirely.

here is a small snippet of /var/log/messages:

setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing sendmail (system_mail_t) "read write" to /var/log/httpd/jk-runtime-status (httpd_log_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 7b556a0b-614d-4831-82c9-1effec882ca1
setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing postdrop (postfix_postdrop_t) "getattr" to /var/log/httpd/error_log (httpd_log_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l db275eec-1d9c-4411-8435-e7b56014bb98
setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing executable (procmail_t) "execute" to ./spamc (spamc_exec_t). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l c0ef37c3-61ff-45bf-8b28-cfdeaad42bbb
