• Cannot select "Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP greeting" in Mail Server Settings:

  PLESK_ERROR: Error: PleskException IP address with ID '2' does not exist

Cause

Database inconsistency: the IP_Addresses table has a record(s) with an IP address that does not exist in the ip_pool and dom_param tables.

Resolution

Note: below steps require advanced technical expertise. Consider contacting Plesk Technical support if you find them too complex.

1. Log in to Plesk via SSH or RDP

2. Create Plesk database backup

3. Identify the problematic IP address:

   # plesk db "select * from ip_pool where ip_address_id not in (select id from IP_Addresses);"
   +----+---------------+--------+
   | id | ip_address_id | type |
   +----+---------------+--------+
   | 1 | 2 | shared |
   +----+---------------+--------+
   1 row in set (0.00 sec)

   # plesk db "select * from dom_param where param='ip_addr_id' and val not in (select id from IP_Addresses);"
   +--------+------------+------+
   | dom_id | param | val |
   +--------+------------+------+
   | 6 | ip_addr_id | 2 |
   +--------+------------+------+
   1 row in set (0.00 sec)

   # plesk db "select * from IP_Addresses where id =2;"
   Empty set (0.00 sec)

   # plesk db "select id, serviceNodeId, ip_address from IP_Addresses;"
   +----+---------------+--------------+
   | id | serviceNodeId | ip_address |
   +----+---------------+--------------+
   | 1 | 1 | x.x.x.x |
   +----+---------------+--------------+
   1 rows in set (0.00 sec)

   In this example, the ip_pool and dom_param tables include an entry regarding a non-existent IP address ( ip_address_id = 2 );

4. Delete this record from the ip_pool table:

   # plesk db "delete from ip_pool where ip_address_id not in (select id from IP_Addresses);"
   Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

5. If non-empty output was received during dom_param table check on the step 3, contact Plesk Technical support.
