    Resolved Force Plesk to use port 25 alternative (Digital Ocean refuses to open 25)

    Excellent! That worked. And in my case, supplemented by these Postmark specifics (using 587 instead of port 25 in the example) https://postmarkapp.com/support/article/832-can-i-configure-postfix-to-send-through-postmark Thank you!

    Resolved Force Plesk to use port 25 alternative (Digital Ocean refuses to open 25)

    If you're referring to Plesk's MSMTP, that's fine. But it forcibly disabled Webmail from what I can tell.

    Resolved Force Plesk to use port 25 alternative (Digital Ocean refuses to open 25)

    There are numerous threads on this topic. I haven't found a way to force Plesk to use port 587. In the mail server settings, when I enable port 587, upon sending tests with Roundcube, the maillog indicates port 25 is still being used. Mar 21 18:25:41 my-server postfix/smtp[99165]: connect to...

    Question Exclude files from backup (.ssh, directories above httpdocs/)

    It's actually root:root drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 22 17:30 .ssh ...which seems to be common across all my Plesk domains.

    Question Exclude files from backup (.ssh, directories above httpdocs/)

    Though it's minor, the daily warnings / log errors about Plesk not being able to backup .ssh files is a nuisance. Since the .ssh dir is /var/www/vhosts/example.com/.ssh (that is, above httpdocs/), what syntax, if any, works for configuring Plesk to skip that dir? Constant error is: Unable to...

    Question Security: curl CVE-2023-38545, CVE-2023-38546

    Are the October 2023 curl vulnerabilities something that would have any root within Plesk, or would those best be handled by an OS (Ubuntu in my case) update? https://github.com/curl/curl/discussions/12026

    Issue Backup utility and "Failed to copy files" error about .ssh keys

    I've noticed some, not all, of my Plesk servers throw an error in the Backup log, such as what I show below. I think it's harmless: essential files are backed up as expected. But the .ssh warning is troublesome because there will be days and days of them shown in the Plesk interface. Any ideas...

    Question What would happen if I turned off/removed SMTP entirely in Plesk?

    Thanks! What should one even do in this situation (if a tech scan demands these mail services are removed?) I think I read that Plesk can be configured to use an external SMTP server? And nerdier still, I suppose Transactional Services with an email/SMTP API could be used. But I think it makes...

    Question What would happen if I turned off/removed SMTP entirely in Plesk?

    What about if I turned off POP/IMAP and left SMTP intact?

    Question Plesk: Encrypt Data At Rest?

    My Ubuntu server runs MariadB 10.6. Based on this old thread about encrypting data at rest (2018), it would seem a Plesk domain could have MariaDB at rest encryption enabled... and everything is fine. Is this correct? I don't even know how to enable encryption for a MariaDB database: I've even...

    Question What would happen if I turned off/removed SMTP entirely in Plesk?

    Most of my client domains either a) send PHP email from a contact form, or b) use a Transactional Service like Postmark to deliver email. My server has no active email accounts. Am I ok to turn off/remove SMTP completely? Would it have any repercussions I'm not thinking of? I assume the...

    Question Backups enabled by default for subscription?

    I've historically turned on backups for domains piecemeal. But could I modify a subscription such that a Scheduled Backup configuration is enabled by default? E.g. "backup all files, daily, store 1 day"?

    Question Native command line `site` command does not correctly report disk space usage of backups

    Any updates on this? This CLI command is very useful; it's a shame it stopped working.
