Plesk 9 and Postfix

[impleri]

OK, I'm mainly venting my frustration at the moment, but I am fed up with working around Plesk. I upgraded to Plesk 9 primarily because of the option of using Postfix "officially." Well, I finally completed the upgrade today after waiting a while for 9 to be out. Postfix failed to deliver incoming mail and everything was redirected to the "deferred" queue. After a few hours of trying to find any customizations I may have forgotten about, the culprit was leftovers from qmail-scanner. For anyone else using Plesk who is switching from qmail to postfix, be sure to check /usr/local/psa/handlers/before-local/recipient/{EMAIL}/ for anything resembling 10-spam-{random} as these are most likely what's stopping postfix from delivering mail (you can check /usr/local/psa/var/log/maillog for errors in postfix-local that read "Unable to stat entry '/usr/local/psa/handlers/info/10-spam-ATuMmc/executable' or it is not link: No such file or directory
" or similar).

naturally i had to learn this after the fact.

so how did you fix the problem?

anyone?

When Plesk switches to Postfix, it doesn't remove all of the old hooks for Qmail. As a result, the queue manager tries to use these filter hooks unsuccessfully (because their referents no longer exist). I was able to just remove the hooks in /usr/local/psa/handlers/before-local/recipient/.

DUDE!

you totally rock! that did it. i moved the contents of /usr/local/psa/handlers/before-local/recipient/ to another folder, and boom all mail went through.
