Hi everyone,
I’m running into a strange issue with my Plesk mail server (Postfix + Dovecot) and Outlook (Mac & Windows) clients.
For the past few days, I have been unable to properly handle emails with attachments. The following problems occur:
However, in the server logs I see multiple lines like:
and continuous brute-force login attempts such as:
My current TLS setting is:
Fail2Ban is already active.
Has anyone seen this behavior before?
Could the outdated TLS setting cause Outlook to repeatedly reconnect and fail when downloading attachments?
Should I raise the minimum protocol to TLSv1.2 or higher?
Or could this also be caused by Dovecot index corruption or overload from brute-force attempts?
Any hints or recommended configuration for stable IMAP performance with Outlook would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I’m running into a strange issue with my Plesk mail server (Postfix + Dovecot) and Outlook (Mac & Windows) clients.
For the past few days, I have been unable to properly handle emails with attachments. The following problems occur:
- Attachments won’t download (“Attachments must be downloaded again from the server. Please try again later.”).
- Messages with attachments can’t be replied to or forwarded.
- Drafts can’t be saved (“Cannot save to Drafts folder”).
- Folder synchronization is extremely slow — it takes minutes to load message lists.
However, in the server logs I see multiple lines like:
Code:
dovecot: imap-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:0A0000EB:SSL routines::no application protocol
dovecot: imap-login: SSL_accept() failed: error:0A0000C1:SSL routines::no shared cipher
and continuous brute-force login attempts such as:
Code:
plesk_saslauthd: failed mail authentication attempt for user 'randomname'
My current TLS setting is:
Code:
/etc/dovecot/conf.d/11-plesk-security-ssl.conf
ssl_min_protocol = TLSv1
Fail2Ban is already active.
