Error Message:

Remote host said: 553 sorry, that domain isn’t in my list of allowed rcpthosts

You may see the above error message in the mail logs of Qmail. Follow the below steps:

1. Make sure the domain name is present in the file “/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts”, if it doesn’t, turn off mail for that domain and then turn it back on.

You can turn Off/On mails for a domain from Plesk >> Domains >> domainname.tld  >>  “Web Hosting Settings” >> Enable/Disable button at the top.

2. If it doesn’t, then run,

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mchk -a

It will look like it finishes quickly, but it will actually run in the background. It rebuilds direcories, files, permissions on all mail accounts based on the information in the plesk db.
