Email messages are not delivered and remain in mail queue: /usr/bin/deliverquota: No such file or directory

Applicable to:

  • Plesk 12.5 for Linux
  • Plesk 10.x for Linux
  • Plesk Onyx for Linux
  • Plesk 12.0 for Linux

Symptoms

Mail reaches the server, but does not get delivered to respective mailboxes and remains in mail queue: 

Jun 16 21:10:56 lvps46-163-119-37 qmail-local-handlers[5609]: mailbox: /var/qmail/mailnames/<DOMAIN_NAME>/<MAILBOX_NAME>
Jun 16 21:10:57 lvps46-163-119-37 qmail: 1402945857.005486 delivery 238: deferral: /bin/sh:_/usr/bin/deliverquota:_No_such_file_or_directory/            
Jun 16 21:10:57 lvps46-163-119-37 qmail: 1402945857.005599 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

Cause

The issue is caused by missing /usr/bin/deliverquota file: 

# ll /usr/bin/deliverquota
ls: cannot access /usr/bin/deliverquota: No such file or directory

Resolution

Restore the missing file with the following steps:

  1. Download psa-courier-imap package from autoinstall.plesk.com , regarding the installed version of operating system.

For example, psa-courier-imap for Plesk 12.5 on CenOS7 is located at /PSA_12.5.30/dist-rpm-CentOS-7-x86_64/opt/mail

  1. Extract the package without installing it:

for Debian-based operating systems: 

    # dpkg -x psa-courier-imap_<downloaded_version>.deb /package_extract_directory

**for RedHat-based** operating systems:

    # rpm2cpio psa-courier-imap-<downloaded_version>.rpm | cpio -ivd /usr/bin/deliverquota

  1. Place deliverquota binary to /usr/bin directory: 

    # cp /package_extract_directory/usr/bin/deliverquota /usr/bin/

  2. Rebuild mail configuration: 

    # /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk --with-spam

    Maybe extend this article with a dovecot restart because the IMAP Login will not work after reconfiguration the mailserver without a restart.

    # /etc/init.d/postfix restart
    # /etc/init.d/dovecot restart

    @Linus, execution of mchk utility restarts mail server as well

    Thank you for your reply @Vitaly. In My case i had to restart the services manually. (Debian 8, Plesk Onyx)
