Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Postfix / Sendmail - Senderdomain Is Not Registered In Panel
May 1, 2015
I have a Plesk installation with Commandline access. Also on this server is a Request tracker installation. (The reason for the commandline access) CentOs 6 Server.
All installations are up to date, but this actually broke my installation after the last Plesk Upgrade.
At the last Plesk upgrade, my Request Tracker installation can no longer use sendmail to send email directly from the server.
The errors I am getting are:
/var/log/maillog:

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 attempting to utilize the WordPress Toolkit. After clicking scan on a webspace with WordPress installed the panel returns the error "'plugin list' is not a registered wp command. See 'wp support'.".
I've tried it on a few servers that has the WordPress Toolkit installed, but they all return the same error.
In an environment where there is no webmail enabled for hosted sites and no sites have registered names (eg; they all belong in "our name space"), what is the affect of NAMED not running?
One affect that I have seen is with Site Scheduled Tasks that need URL resolutions. This appears to fail if Named is not running. All OTHER site content seems to work just fine. Apparently even in WordPress Multi-user/site situations.
I FULLY understand bind/named (and /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf), but it seems that it some cases, virtual hosted sites do not need Named (active) to function. This is NOT a case of incorrect DNS definitions created by Plesk for any hosted site.
SO - what is the "affect" of Named NOT running in a PLesk-12 Linux environment - not only for hosted sites but also the Plesk server itself?
I recently moved to virtual dedicated hosting for my website, mainly because I wanted a better mail server to work with to manage a mailing list.
I have a few PHP software scripts for different things: managing affiliates and email marketing.
I want to send mail using both of those via SMTP on my new server. They both have a place to type in the host and username/password.
The problem I am noticing is SASL Authentication. They attempt to connect to the host without any trouble. However, the affiliate software fails SASL Authentication every time I try to send an email or test the email system.
Email marketing software connects when I manually send a campaign. However, users are supposed to immediately receive a confirmation mail upon opting in. In this case, it shows up as an attempt in the mail log, but it fails SASL Authentication. I don't know if it's a problem with the software or not, since it attempts to connect but fails, yet connects successfully in other cases.
My question is this: Is there another way around this? I've contacted my host to double check on the appropriate username/password to pass authentication. I will also be contacting the software developers after I receive an answer.
But if nothing comes of it, is there any way around it? Is there a place where I can have it automatically authenticate if the email is coming from a certain user, or if the attempt is being made from the same server (everything sits on the same server, I use localhost in the software to connect to the mail server). Since I am the only person who has access to the server and uses it, it seems safe to automatically authenticate if the request is being asked by the server itself...
I'm just looking for other alternatives if the software does indeed have a problem and I cannot figure it out.
Keep in mind I am very new to all this server and root access. Just a few days ago I was on a shared hosting plan, so I didn't have any access to anything. With that in mind, I know very little about mail servers, although I've been learning more over the past few days. I only stumbled upon the mail logs on my server recently by browsing files in the control panel (I'm not familiar with SSH, although I do have access to it)
In the past we disabled sendmail in Plesk to prevent spam from using the contact form of Wordpress sites to send unauthorized spam emails. Because of this, password reset emails do not work.
A few questions: 1. Is it safe to enabled sendmail for scripts in Plesk? 2. If its best to disable it, what is the solution for enabling Wordpress password reset without the need of using send mail?
One site was hacked, but I am not sure if Wordpress send email can be manipulated from outside the Wordpress site, or if it happened because the outside user brute forced their way into the admin to send these spam emails.Here is the Wordpress error that came up when resetting the password to a username:
The e-mail could not be sent. Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function.
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..
My server is Plesk 12 with Postfix and Courier IMAP i am also using Thunderbird as mail client...
My question is when i create a folder from my mail client or webmail they just appear as sub folders of my inbox which is not what i want, i want root level folders not to be under inbox... When i searched for this i found [URL] ....
Is this still the case? Is there anything i can do to have root level folders?
I have a hard problem with my VPS. I have postfix as mail server on plesk 12 under ubuntu 12.
I dont know why the outgoing mails of all my domains in my servers are getting spam in servers like gmail, yahoo, hotmail...
I'm using mxtoolbox to fix errors and warnings and finally fixed all of them, but my mails are still outgoing to spam.
In mxtoolbox actually I have no mail server errors / warning, u can see it with, for example, this one of my domains: [URL] ....

This message is an automatic response from Port25's authentication verifier service at verifier.port25.com. The service allows email senders to perform a simple check of various sender authentication mechanisms. It is provided free of charge, in the hope that it is useful to the email community.
I have a brandnew server with CENTOS 6.5 Final with Plesk 12.
For some reason unknown i'm not able to configure Postfix as smtp server and accept plain text autentication. It only accept TLS autentication both on port 25 or 587. If i install Qmail everything works without any problem.
Mail isn't leaving the queue, it's returning this error
Feb 12 23:12:01 XXXX postfix-local[64360]: System error .qmail: Permission denied Feb 12 23:12:01 XXXX postfix-local[64360]: Wrong permissions for .qmail
All the files within /var/qmail/ are set to the user and group "popuser", and have the nessacery rwx permissions for the user/group.
