CONFIG_TEXT: // send email with authorization on SMTP server
$conf['mailer']['params']['host'] = 'localhost';
$conf['mailer']['params']['port'] = 25;
$conf['mailer']['params']['auth'] = true;
$conf['mailer']['type'] = 'smtp'; -
For Roundcube:
Add / edit the following line in the file /usr/share/psa-roundcube/config/config.inc.php:
CONFIG_TEXT: $config['smtp_server'] = 'ssl://%z:465';

For Plesk Onyx, we found that to get Roundcube to work when this type or error was logged, the following line needed to be appended to /usr/share/psa-roundcube/config/config.inc.php:
$config['smtp_server'] = 'ssl://%z:465';
Added the solution for Roundcube, thank you.
