• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

I make an OS reload and loose my plesk functionality on the old server but I have the discs and information.

Where are the mail alias stored on the server?
I can't find them on /var/qmail/alias

I need to restore the users alias configuration and I think the data should be somewere phisically on the server but I can't find it any help is appreciated

Thanks
 
The aliases are stored in psa.mail_aliases. The mn_id column references the id in the mail table. The dom_id column in the mail table references the id of the domains table. With that you can build a query that suits your need. For example if you want to know all aliases of a domain name "mydomain.xx" your query could be:

Code:
SELECT a.alias AS alias
FROM psa.mail_aliases AS a
INNER JOIN psa.mail AS b ON b.id = a.mn_id
INNER JOIN psa.domains AS c ON c.id = b.dom_id
WHERE c.name LIKE 'mydomain.xx';

Thank you very much. Since my install was completely broken, instead of having to recover psa database, I also found that aliases can be found in /var/lib/psa/dumps/domains/XXXXXX/backup_info_XXXXX.xml
