Plesk Qmail error – 451 qq internal bug (#4.3.0)

August 27th, 2010 2 Comments   Posted in Centos, Plesk, Qmail, System Administration

If you are getting error while sending email from your plesk server using outlook

Send test e-mail message: Your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server has
reported an internal error. If you continue to receive this message, contact
your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).  The server
responded: 451 qq internal bug (#4.3.0)

To eliminate this problem, stop Qmail process and replace qmail-queue, qmail-local and qmail-remote with the qmail-queue.moved, qmail-local.moved and qmail-remote.moved accordingly:

# cd /var/qmail/bin
# cp -p qmail-local.moved qmail-local
# cp -p qmail-remote.moved qmail-remote
# cp -p qmail-queue.moved qmail-queue
