  Sep 7 22:05:51 test_vm plesk-sendmail[29901]: S29901: Unable
to prepare arguments for mail handlers.


Cause
A newline is missing between email header and body. Before 18.0.38 such emails were still sent via OS sendmail as a fallback, but due to logging change in 18.0.38 it is now considered a critical error and sending is stopped.

Resolution
Modify website code so email will contain a newline between headers and body.
