Plesk Automation :: PPA With Disabled Domains On SmarterMail
Jul 15, 2015
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?
We are having an issue with websites randomly getting disabled within our PPA system. There doesn't seem to be any reason why they are getting disabled. Our PPA is not tied to a billing system that would make them shut off. Turning them back on works fine but it shouldn't be just shutting them off.
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.
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'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?

On a clean install of CentOS 6.6 (Final) I did the following:
1. updated the /etc/hosts file to point my ip to the hostname
2. Open the ports in the iptables file.
3. ran the ppa_installer per the instructions on [URL] ....
The ppa_installer log says installed Successfully. However the following occurs:
1. Cannot browse to the url:8443, or any of the other variations (8080, 8880, https/http)
2. Yum installer is now broken (I replicated this twice). Yum will not run at all with the following error:
There was a problem importing one of the Python modules required to run yum. The error leading to this problem was: /usr/lib64/libcurl.so.4: file too short
Please install a package which provides this module, or verify that the module is installed correctly.It's possible that the above module doesn't match the

If you would disable a subscription and reloaded that domain name. You would be redirected to a default subscription. How can i change this default landing page?
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.
I have recently deployed PPA with on nodes with hostnames on the serverroom.net.au domain, so management.serverroom.net.au, mail.serverroom.net.au etc. The DNS is currently hosted on a plesk server which will soon be migrated to PPA.
When I add the serverroom.net.au domain to PPA, I it fails at the sync task with an error saying that there are no A or AAA records for ns1.serverroom.net.au, even when these records exist in the external DNS. The same error occurs when I try to add the domain as a dns entry and switch to internal...
i have installed a Win2008R2 server with IIS and Coldfusion. I want to allow customer to set DSN, i know that older "Plesk Panel" versions that can do but i missing this now in PPA in the customer view. In the subscription is OBDC and Coldfusion connections allowed and unlimited. Must i do anything to activate this ?
We operate many Plesk VPS servers in a virtual environment for our customers and would really like the ability to allow Plesk VPS servers to switch to using our PPA DNS servers instead of having to have multiple ips on each VPS to run their own name servers. Not to mention the added nuisance of each customer having to register name servers and glue records.
We looked at adding the Plesk servers as nodes to our PPA cluster but the license jump and loss of Nginx is completely prohibitive. Is this possible?
Is it somehow possible to disable autoresponders for spam mails? Many spam mails are sent under false addresses and will produce MAILER DEAEMON messages if the autoresponder trys to reply to them.
We currently have Plesk Expand 2.3.2 with 3 Linux servers, 1 Windows server, a SmarterMail server and 2 DNS servers that we are looking to migrate to PPA 11.5. I have the PPA working okay and am trying to test out a migration on just one domain from one of the Linux servers. When I run the preliminary check I keep getting this error:
Error: Mail content transfer from Qmail/Postfix to SmarterMail mail service is not supported.
Assign this subscription to a service template which offers Postfix mail service. We aren't using Qmail or Postfix for user mailboxes in the Expand or PPA systems, only the SmarterMail. I've tried the work around listed here: [URL] .... but that didn't work.
Am I still going to have to assign Postfix to my Service Templates in PPA even if we're not planning on using it for mailboxes?
Some of our clients have alot of webspaces (resellers that migrated from Expand) and having to order the list of webspaces each time they want to move to another domain is causing them some hassle. Is there a way to set the webspaces to order by name by default?
