Qmail – Local Queue stacking up – Plesk

I have a big problem!
My customer contacted me, and told me that he isn’t recieving emails from his websites contactform. I checked the mail-queue in Plesk, and I can see that they’re stuck in “local”(!)

I tried to force send by running this in SSH kill -ALRM ps ax | grep [q]mail-send | awk '{print $1}'

It’s not working – returns a empty line in my SSH.
I have tried similar solutions – but no luck.
Is there anything I can do, to get some more information about this issue?
I’m not an expert in Plesk at all – and all the help I can get is GREATLY appreciated.

And if I run ps -ef|grep mail I get the following output:

When I run plesk repair mail -y -v I get the following output:

[opening@opening log]$ sudo plesk repair mail -y -v Repairing the mail server configuration Reconfiguring all domains and mailboxes ......................... [OK] Error messages: 0; Warnings: 0; Errors resolved: 0

Btw. Plesk is installed on an Azure server – if that is to any help at all.

Please let me know if I can provide any other info – and how.

Best regards

    If you experience issues/errors/problems with QMAIL on servers where Plesk ( > 12.5 ) is installed, consider to use the “Plesk repair utility” with the example command :

    plesk repair mail -y -v

    More possible options for the “Plesk repair utility” can be found at:

    => Plesk Repair Utility ( official Plesk online documentation – Administrator’s Guide )

    Another option to solve possible issues/errors/problems is to switch from QMAIL to POSTFIX and backwards to QMAIL again:

    plesk installer --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --install-component postfix

plesk installer --select-product-id plesk --select-release-current --install-component qmail

    The line:

    Mar 29 08:14:41 opening qmail-queue-handlers[29038]: Unable to change group ID:Operation not permitted

    suggests that it maybe because of a permissions issue. You should open a ticket with Plesk support or check on their forums.

    You can also switch to postfix as it is more widely used
