Mar 31 14:56:52 hosting plesk sendmail[1177]: Unable to get sender domain by sender mailname
The VPS has 16 domains running on it, all with different web addresses and their own email accounts etc.
It's a Linux server and is running postfix for the mail. The main website on this domain has the mail service disabled because we have an exchange service on our own server here in the building where we work. Now when anyone on any of our domains on the VPS try to email us at 'maincompany.com' they get the following error message:
This is the mail system at host <vps address>.
Your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below.
For further assistance, please send mail to postmaster.
If you do so, please include this problem report. You can delete your own text from the attached returned message.

This is a fresh plesk12 installation on a kvm vps on centos 6.6
We used the migration and transfer tool to copy data from another server. After the full migration without changing any setting from the configuration files, any mail account hosted on this server cannot receive emails.
I got and apt-get dependencies error while installing Postfix. At the end the log told me, to ask for free support - thats what I am trying to get here.
I have tried installing Parallels Premium Outbound AntiVirus, but uninstalled it again. The postfix mail server was working before uninstalling. Now I get the following errors:
Code:
Milter reject: 4.7.1 Service unavailable - try again later; Jul 9 22:17:02 sl1 postfix/cleanup[9308]: warning: connect to Milter service unix:/ctmilter/ctmilter.sock: No such file or directory
This means no mail goes in or out of the system.
When viewing Plesk pannel, everything seems alright.
I run a virtual server (Ubuntu 12.04, Plesk 12, Postfix 2.9.6) using plesk to manage multiple domains. The server address is server.domain1.com. I use plesk to also manage domain1.com regarding all services, including DNS and mail.
What I just found is that postfix sometimes issues the following warning:
server postfix/trivial-rewrite[7397]: warning: do not list domain server.domain1.com in BOTH mydestination and virtual_alias_domains
The essential part of my main.cf is: myhostname = server.domain1.com mydestination = localhost.$mydomain, localhost.localdomain, localhost virtual_mailbox_domains = $virtual_mailbox_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual_domains virtual_alias_maps = $virtual_maps, hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual virtual_mailbox_maps = , hash:/var/spool/postfix/plesk/vmailbox virtual_transport = plesk_virtual
And /var/spool/postfix/plesk/virtual_domains contains amongst others:
domain1.com domain1.com/
I do not have any issues with receiving or sending e-mails right now, but would like to get rid of the error message however.
Could it be the problem that postfix automatically sets mydomain to $myhostname with skipping the first part (i.e., mydomain is implicitly set to domain1.com)? Should I manually set mydomain to server.domain1.com instead? Any other recommendations? Since mydomain seems to be used in multiple options [URL] ..., I wonder what I might destroy with changing this? As all mail services run without any further troubles at the moment, I don't want to break this...
As I assume that quite some people use a plesk-based server to manage the domain to which the server itself belongs to, I would assume that there should be a general fix/check to updated mydomain accordingly?
I just upgraded our Plesk 10.4.4 to 12.0.18 (on Ubuntu 10.04, about to be upgraded to 12.04). Now I get the dreaded 'queue file write error' in postfix on message delivery.
It tries to open /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-queue (which is not there) in this block in master.cf:
Code:
plesk_virtual unix - n n - - pipe flags=DORhu user=popuser:popuser argv=/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-local -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} -p /var/qmail/mailnames 127.0.0.1:10025 inet n n n - - spawn user=mhandlers-user argv=/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-queue 127.0.0.1 10027 before-queue 127.0.0.1:10026 inet n - - - - smtpd -o smtpd_client_restrictions= -o smtpd_helo_restrictions= -o smtpd_sender_restrictions= -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject -o smtpd_data_restrictions= -o receive_override_options=no_unknown_recipient_checks 127.0.0.1:10027 inet n n n - - spawn user=mhandlers-user argv=/usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-queue 127.0.0.1 10026 before-remote plesk_saslauthd unix y y y - 1 plesk_saslauthd status=5 listen=6 dbpath=/plesk/passwd.db
And on top of that, If disable all the milters/proxy and just try to deliver to plesk_virtual directly, the e-mail just disappears. Postfix thinks it was delivered, but it is not.
I also tried piping some text through /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/postfix-local with the same parameters postfix gives it, but also then nothing. No error, no exit code, no message in maildir.
There are a bunch of fixes around for the queue file write error, but nothing works because the nature of my problem is different. There is a KB article around for Plesk 9, which can hardly be useful.
I tried restoring postfix-queue from the backups, but if I try to use that, the mail.log eventually says:
Code:
Jan 30 01:20:00 ytechosting /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[6621]: Message aborted.
I also used /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk to no avail: the only change it makes to my master.cf, is adding an empty line. And, I suspect it uninstalled my psa-courier, because it was gone at some point, and mchk was the only thing I did after knowing courier was still there.
How can the postfix config refer to that postfix-queue when it's not there? Is this even a valid master.cf file for Plesk 12?
We have just had reports of SPAM being sent from our CentOS 6.x server running Plesk 12.
Services like Plesk Premium antivirus, SpamAssasin, watchdog(rkhunter) and mod_security are enabled on the server to enhance security and none of these seemed to stop the scripts.
The issue is that multiple domains are sending out mail from this server, so it is difficult to find the script sending out SPAM. When we were running Plesk 11.0 we had a seperate log-file where we could see the file sending any mail going out from the postfix mailserver. I have check both /var/log/maillog and /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog, but there is nothing in those files to tell me the file that sent the mail.
How would I go about finding this file from either the Plesk Control Panel or through SSH (using log-files)?
My issue started ince a couple of months seemed to increase with update to Plesk 12.0 (though I can't guarantee it).I am using Centos 6.5, all updated. What happens is that postfix usage starts to increase without any apparent reason (during week-ends for example). Then postfix is not responding anymore.

I'm trying to add multiple PHP version (current version installed: 5.5.13), using the official documentation. I always get 500 Internal Server Error after switching to the new version, with the following error_log content:
Code: [Sat Jun 07 00:49:35 2014] [warn] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] (104)Connection reset by peer: mod_fcgid: error reading data from FastCGI server [Sat Jun 07 00:49:35 2014] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] Premature end of script headers: index.php Here you can view phpinfo() obtained running php54-cgi index.php from the command line. Same script doesn't work as FastCGI.
I'm trying to add PHP 5.4.29. Here is how I compiled it:
Switching back to PHP 5.5.13 and the script works fine (a simple phpinfo() output).How can I try to understand/debug what's wrong with the installation?
I have a Plesk 11.5 server that someone made changes to in IIS to allow web site users to turn the sending of detailed error messages on and off from a web.config file. Unfortunately now none of the sites will send detailed error messages to the browser no matter what is done. The person that made the changes to IIS did not document them properly and cannot tell me what exactly they changed. None of the obvious settings have made an effect on the problem.
I have two domains as virtual hosts on same IP address.
I am getting certificate error for the second domain when I try to check email (using MS Outlook). I can't permanently "accept" certificate, it complains again and again. Certuficate I created and self signed for imap.domain1.com, but the second email server is imap.domain2.com, so it complains.
How do I set separate email certificates for two domains? Is it possible at all?
I would like each of my clients who have a dedicated IP address and an SSL certificate to be able to use their own domain name (and own certificate) when sending mail on ports 465 or 587. I have managed to change the default certificate used by Postfix to my own server's certificate, but I want users to use their OWN IP address and SSL certificate when sending, so this is not an option.
I have been able to update Dovecot to use a specific certificate for each IP address, but I can't seem to update Postfix. I was trying to follow these instructions but my postfix master.cf was quite different than the poster's file and I didn't succeed: [URL] ....
I know many people will simply say "it can't be done" or "just get the users to use the shared IP address", but I know there must be some workaround to make this work, even if it means manually updating the config file after every Plesk update. I'm even prepared (if possible) to have Plesk abandon management of Postfix and have me manage it manually, if that's even an option.
Each migration in the last years I'm running into this bug that Postfix wants to run on port 587 even though this is turned OFF in the Plesk Panel.
Sometimes it does this after some update.
Because another process is running on port 587 this means that postfix does not start and I have some downtime until I "repair" this.
"Repairing" means going into Plesk panel and turning ON SMTP-Auth.... Wait a moment for it to apply and then turning it OFF again....
This unwanted behaviour can be easily reproduced by having this option turned off in the Plesk panel and then running /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --without-spam
This will end up in a non-running postfix if another process is already running on port 587.
This shouldn't be happening. Especially because I reported this behaviour years ago..
on a fresh debian 7 64bit openvz system we actually have a problem with the new plesk 12 feature of limiting outgoing mails.We migrated about 25 systems to plesk, this is the first that makes problems.If limiting outgoing mails is activated (i double-checked all possible checkboxes in plesk) a fresh mailbox gives us the following error while trying to send via smtp:
Aug 15 13:09:32 2d4 postfix/smtpd[8645]: connect from unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX] Aug 15 13:09:32 2d4 postfix/smtpd[8645]: E9AF61C58851: client=unknown[XX.XX.XX.XX], sasl_method=PLAIN, sasl_username=XX@XXX.XX Aug 15 13:09:32 2d4 greylisting filter[8651]: Starting greylisting filter... Aug 15 13:09:32 2d4 /usr/lib/plesk-9.0/psa-pc-remote[8611]: handlers_stderr: SKIP
[code]....
After deactivating the feature all mail is sent without any problems. We use postfix + dovecot.
There are several big domains that frequently defer accepting mail from us causing long delays or rejections. Google, AOL, and Yahoo are examples. I'm considering trying the suggestions found in this online posting regarding rate limiting the sending of messages to those domains. In the below URL, please see the section titled "Different policies for different domains"...URL....
Would these changes be safe to make on a CentOS 6.4 server running Plesk 11.0.9 with Postfix 2.8.4? Would any special modifications for Plesk be necessary?
At this moment, all mail (no matter what domain) goes out straight to its destination. We want to send the mail trough a antispam firewall before it enters the internet.
I am unable to switch from qmail to postfix via the control panel. It opens a new window that just hangs and never loads. While waiting for it to load, I see these 2 processes running..
But after waiting 20 minutes, the browser never loaded and the two proceses remain. So I killed both processes and removed /tmp/psa-installer.lock and started again. The same thing happened.
Is there a way to fix this? If not, is there an easy way to switch MTAs from the command line?
I just upgraded my Plesk 11.5 on Plesk version: 12.0.18 Update #9 , and after the upgrade the Postfix stop working. And forwarding, receiving is not working at all and I am getting message bellow.
after reinstalling the mta / postfix / smtp (because I couldn't send mails) my plesk is crashed.
I wanted to log in as admin but it doesn't accept my PW. Now with root and then it wants me to accept the license.
Now I copy all my /var/www/vhosts/ maybe when I do the setup steps in plesk it will overwrite all my website content... I hope not all plesk settings are away.
Why I pay every month money for a license? The trouble and work I have with Plesk..
I am reading the plesk documentation about "Tags Used in Notification Messages". URL....It says that one can use a <password> tag which will show the user's password ("user's password for authorization in Plesk").How can Plesk show a password? I would assume all passwords are saved as hashes and not as plain text?
After migrating to a new server and also from plesk 11 to 12 i've got two watchdog errors:
/bin/sh: /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/clean-events: No such file or directory /bin/sh: /usr/local/psa/libexec/modules/watchdog/cp/pack-sysstats: No such file or directory
Both files dont exist. Is it save to delete the scheduled taks or should those tasks exist?
