Plesk 11.x / Windows :: SmarterMail 11.6 - Some Fields Empty Or Contain Improper Value
Sep 26, 2013
I'm setting up a server that has both Plesk 11.5 and SmarterMail 11.6 on it. I'm trying to get Plesk set to use the SmarterMail, and it sees it fine in the Server Components, but when I try to set it as the default and put in the password information it comes back and says: Error: Some fields are empty or contain an improper value.
I thought maybe it didn't like some of the characters I had in the password, and tried simplifying that but it didn't work. So I'm wondering if it is just because Plesk 11.5 won't work with SmarterMail 11.6 yet?
The Goal:Have Plesk Accounts on it's server be able to sync to an external SmarterMail server, rather than installing SmarterMail on that same serve (which seems to be available natively).
I am running plesk 11.05 Plesk on windows server. I have noticed this things twice...
While migrating accounts one server to another Smartermail not showing actual mail received date. For all accounts and emails Smartermail showing Migration date..
My more than 10000 emails showing migration date as received date..
I just installed P11 and the AppVault is empty - how do I tell it to download all the apps from the aps catalog like I can do in linux? Is there a command line alternative for it as well?
for example in linux you would do
/usr/local/psa/bin/aps_catalog --install-applications-bundle 3Click to expand...
Plesk, for an unknown reason to me, creates an "empty binding" on one specific website every time I make a "hosting change" on that very website (subscription in Plesk terms). What I mean by a "hosting change" is things like enabling/disabling SSL, adding/removing aliases and anything similar that might require Plesk to re-arrange the bindings for that website.
The issue exists only on one of the many websites I am hosting/configuring via Plesk, the others don't have any similar issues.The result of the issue is the given website being stopped by IIS since the "empty binding" is already in use by the "Default Web Site".If I go ahead and delete the empty binding from the given website, I can start the website up again.The Plesk version I am having is 12.0.18 Update #38, which I assume is the latest one.
Trying to get Plesk 9.2.3 (free - 1 domain) to talk to SmarterMail 6.5 (free) - it says "Error: Some fields are empty or contain an improper value." after setting it up on port 9998, username "admin" and the correct password.
I can access SmarterMail fine at [url]and [url]. SmarterMail is configured through IIS7, its in it's own application pool. Since im on 64bit, Mailservice.exe is configured to run as a 32bit service.
I downloaded SmarterMail Free edition, its installed under the Lite edition - according to here [url thats what SmarterTools recommends.
We have migrated from an old Expand/Plesk with SmarterMail setup to PPA with SmarterMail. One issue we've noticed is that with Expand, if we disabled the mail on a domain, in SmarterMail it would rename the domain with a .disabled on the end which prevented issues from other users trying to send to that domain on the same SmarterMail server. In PPA when disabling a domain, it disables the mail on SmarterMail but does not rename the domain.
To try illustrate the issue:
If say outsidemail.com is in PPA for hosting but has email elsewhere and mail is disabled for them in PPA, because it does not rename the domain to outsidemail.com.disabled, anyone on outsidemail.com cannot send to anyone on that SmarterMail server as it wants them to authenticate. Also if someone else on that SmarterMail server tries to send to outsidemail.com it will try and send locally.
There is a work around for the second problem by going into the the outsidemail.com domain on the SmarterMail service and setting it to use MX instead of local, but this still does not allow them to send to anyone else on that server.
We can go in and manually rename the domains in SmarterMail but this is difficult to do for everyone not using the SmarterMail. Is there a way to have PPA rename the domain in SmarterMail like the old Expand/Plesk environment did?
i was wondering if mysql was configured incorrectly and it was not properly closing the connections as it should would it cause 500 internal server errors for some users?
I installed new Plesk in new VPS with Centos 7 (Virtuozzo - former PCS)... One domain is running, but when reboot the server, maillog stopped.
Last lines of the login are:

I can reproduce this problem, but cannot fix it....
I'm not exactly sure if the above is the correct syntax, but the result was that two days later my current modsec_audit.log was Gzipped and a new modsec_audit.log was created.
The problem is that nothing was logged to this new file.
From the Plesk 12 control panel I turned off mod security and then turned it back on again and hey presto, the new logfile started to log events.
This leaves the problem of why nothing was recorded when the file was created.
When I log into plesk (service provider view) and click on the Domains link on the left, I get an empty page. It isn't blank like there is an error, it has some instructions at the top about creating a customer etc. It just doesn't list any of the domains that are setup on the server. There are several reseller accounts with several domains under each. I've even tried setting up a new customer and adding a domain under the new customer. Still nothing shows up.
I have several other VPS accounts running Plesk 12 with several domains under different customer accounts and the domains all show up on those.
I am having difficulty sending data from completed form by email.
I have modified a Html_quickform from PHP Anthology which works fine on the server.
I also included & Instantiated phpmailer to send the recipient.all the info set out in the form when submitted.
The email also works fine,I receive the email ok.
However none of the completed fields show up in the body of the email message except for one field only,that is 'body' but not the completed field or 'when' or any multiple fields submitted.
I'e tried deleteing $form->getSubmitValue('body') from the Form and sending $form->getSubmitValue('when');only
The 'when' field shows up in the email message. It's either one or the other but not both together.
Do I need to set up an Array to collect all fields in a single $data variable?
// Add the body of the message $mail->Body = $form->getSubmitValue('body'); $mail->Body = $form->getSubmitValue('when');
Our Server doesn't show the Traffic History under "Tools & Settings -> Summary Report -> View Traffic History", but for every Domain it runs.
We Migrate this Server from a Dedicated to an OpenVZ Server - on another Server with OpenVZ its running without Problems, but this one we don't migrate.
I'm just wondering how I can start logging activity in Fail2Ban. I've got the following line in the "logs" tab in "IP Address Banning" in the Plesk UI:
/var/log/fail2ban.log
However when I check this it states "The file is empty".
I'm assuming there will be a setting somewhere that tells fail2ban to log to that file but I'm not sure where/what it is?
I know for sure that I've had IP's banned but they just don't appear to be logged.
I have this strange problem with smartermail, it can send perfectly to hotmail and gmail but when it tried sending to yahoo accounts, there is always a delay and the email end in the bulk folder.
Such problems does not occur with my qmail or icewarp merak. Any idea how to solve? Have already emailed Yahoo hoping to get a whitelisting of my IP. Besides installing domainkeys any other ways?
I want to setup Remote Spamassassin for Smartermail server. I want to the setup the spamassassin on a linux box. Can anybody help me with this as I am not getting any definitive guide for the same?
I have a new Windows 2003 Server + Dotnetpanel + MSSQL 2005, which was already installed.
Then I have downloaded SmarterMail,SmarterStats & SmarterTracker and installed them with default settings. After installation, I had to setup my admin username & password.
I can see the login pages for all three of these, but when I login as the Administrator, or a user, and click on any of the buttons, nothing actually happens. Why would this happen?
There's a blue navigation bar on top, with the menu items, but the content itselft doesn't load at all. I have reinstalled all three apps, but still get the same errors.
possible way to stop spammers from forging my website's domain in the "From" or "Reply To" fields? I just received 1700 bounced e-mails in my inbox from spammers using my domain in the "From" address. Really freaking annoying, and I don't want my website to get blacklisted.
I'm setting up a PHP shop website and the script that I'm going to be using has a pretty heavy list of requirements.
Instead of looking for hosting software packages, I was wondering that are there any hosts that offer an "empty box" where clients can install all the needed software (apache, php, mysql, etc...)?
If not, then what would be the best host for getting a custom PHP build (I'm looking for PHP 5.20).
