  1. Create dump of Plesk database:

Plesk for Linux 
mysqldump -uadmin -pcat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow psa >psa.dump

  1. Login to Plesk database:

Plesk for Linux 
mysql -uadmin -pcat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow psa

  1. Find domain with disabled mail service:

    mysql> select * from DomainServices where type='mail' and dom_id=(select id from domains where name='domain.tld'); +-----+--------+------+--------+---------------+----------------+ | id | dom_id | type | status | parameters_id | ipCollectionId | +-----+--------+------+--------+---------------+----------------+ | 167 | 61 | mail | 2 | 229 | 167 | +-----+--------+------+--------+---------------+----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

where ‘domain.com’ is a primary subscription’s domain.

mysql> update DomainServices set status=0 where type='mail' and id=167; Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

Cause

Such kind of misconfiguration could be the result of manually changed parameters in database.
