Cannot use DNSBL & SMTP auth with Postifx

Plesk 9.x

The main problem when you enable DNSBL with Postifx if that it will generate a conf like:

smtpd_client_restrictions = reject_rbl_client pbl.spamhaus.org, permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated

The problem is that 'reject_rbl_client pbl.spamhaus.org' appears in first, so most people using their normal ISP DSL connection cannot even get a chance to authenticate.

'reject_rbl_client pbl.spamhaus.org' should be placed at the end of the line, not at the beginning.

SOLUTION:

Plesk 9.5.2
Initially problem - http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=100955

just setup Plesk 9.5.1 on last saturday and tried to enable greylisting like on 9.3.
It works fine, except it rejects the emails an authorized user tries to send.

Only 3 Items in postfix Whitelist

Plesk version 9.5.x
OS: debian-5-x86_64

How-to reproduce:

add 3 or more IPs on the server:

# ifconfig | grep inet
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
inet addr:127.0.0.1 P-t-P:127.0.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255
inet addr:10.55.62.85 P-t-P:10.55.62.85 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255
inet addr:10.55.62.83 P-t-P:10.55.62.83 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255
inet addr:10.55.62.88 P-t-P:10.55.62.88 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.255.255

Add any IP into whitelist:

# /opt/psa/admin/bin/mailmng '--add-whitelist' '--ip-address=100.0.0.1' '--netmask=24'
Reloading Postfix configuration...done.

looks ok:

# grep ^mynetworks /etc/postfix/main.cf
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 10.55.62.85/32, 100.0.0.1/24

however if we add one more IP to whitelist it will overwrite the last value:

# /opt/psa/admin/bin/mailmng '--add-whitelist' '--ip-address=200.0.0.1' '--netmask=24'
Reloading Postfix configuration...done.

# grep ^mynetworks /etc/postfix/main.cf
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 10.55.62.85/32, 200.0.0.1/24

However if a server has 1 IP, the problem is not reproducible:

# /opt/psa/admin/bin/mailmng '--add-whitelist' '--ip-address=200.0.0.1' '--netmask=24'

# grep ^mynetworks /etc/postfix/main.cf
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 10.55.62.85/32, 100.0.0.1/24, 200.0.0.1/24

all 4 IPs are in white list.

SOLUTION:

patched binary mailmng for deb50x64 is attached

Upgrade to 9.5.2 failed due to syslog reload on CentOS 5.5

http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=102530

----
i have a problem upgrading a box to 9.5.2 on CentOS 5.5
The OS itself is fully up2date which is the problem i assume, a few weeks back centos switched the syslogger from sysklogd to syslog-ng, i assume that is where the installer fails...
Any Ideas or Workaround would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to reload service syslog...
ERROR while trying to Unable to handle syslog
Check the error reason(see log file: /tmp/psa-qmail_1.03_cos5.build95100504.10_upgrade.100624.15 .18.log), fix and try again

Aborting...

phpMyAdmin 2.9.11 Security Issue. Upgrade.

The built in phpMyAdmin 2.9.11 provided for Plesk 9.5 has several security issues that requires a patch or an upgrade. Links to the security alerts below.

http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2010-4.php
http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/security/PMASA-2010-3.php

According to the links above, the solution is upgrading to to phpMyAdmin 2.11.10.1.

SOLUTION:

Currently Plesk Panel 9.5.x for Linux provides phpMyAdmin 2.11.9.6 (not 2.9.11)

The patch to upgrade phpMyAdmin from version 2.11.9.6 to 2.11.10.1 is attached.
Don't forget to backup previous version of /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/domains/databases/phpMyAdmin directory before applying the patch.

To apply the patch go to /usr/local/psa/admin/htdocs/domains/databases/phpMyAdmin and run the following command (assume that the patch was uploaded to /root directory):

# patch -p1 < ~/51314.patch

Enable custom php.ini configuration for PHP/FastCGI

Ability for PHP when working in FastCGI mode to use custom php.ini config on per-domain basis (e.g. VHOST_ROOT/conf/php.ini) since options passed in vhost.conf (such as 'php_value include_path "."') only work with mod_php but not with mod_fcgid.

SOLUTION:

1. Replace cgi_wrapper to path $CGI_PHP_BIN(see psa.conf) with attached wrapper
2. cp {original php.ini} $HTTPD_VHOSTS_D/<domain>/conf/
3. chmod 0755 $HTTPD_VHOSTS_D/<domain>/conf
4. get the fun.

Example for centos5 Plesk 9.5.2. domain name - "test.domain.com":

1. cp cgi_wrapper /var/www/cgi-bin/cgi_wrapper
2. cp /etc/php.ini /var/www/vhosts/test.domain.com/conf
3. chmod 0755 /var/www/vhosts/test.domain.com/conf

Spam training/bayes displays 0

Spam training "spammng" process occupies all memory on the Plesk server and as a result Spam Filter Training tab is depicted incorrectly.

SOLUTION:

Try attached file for all OSes. Replace file into /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Mail/SpamAssassin/

"Forgot your password" does not work in IE8

Open IE8 and go to Plesk control panel->"Forgot your password" like

https://domain.com:8443/get_password.php?

try to retrieve the password for any user (type any information in the field, event if the user does not exist). You will not get any information that password was set to email. It you try to repeat the steps and resent the password again, you will get:

ERROR: PleskPermissionDeniedException Up Level
Permission denied.

Everything works fine in Firefox.

SOLUTION:
