If I am not mistaken even in the default Plesk configuration you cannot send mail without authentication over your mail server (with the exception of localhost). So, enabling port 587 is a good thing but you can just as well use port 25 (as long as you remember to enable TLS/SSL). Port 587...

Hi all, based on my last question regarding persistence of changes in the postfix config, I will try to move on with my actual goal: I am running a Ubuntu 14.04 server with Plesk 12.5, Postfix and Dovecot as the mail system. I managed to enable plus addressing in postfix as described here. Now...

Good idea, I will keep that in mind. But for now I will just monitor any changes of the files. For example: I just enabled port 587 in plesk - which touched both files master.cf and main.cf. But my changes are still there. So Plesk does not always rewrite the whole file. So it might be rather...

Thanks for the hint! I just set up incron to at least get notified whenever main.cf or master.cf change. Still a pitty that we cannot really modify postfix config there ourselves :(

Hi, based on this thread I am wondering what the latest status in on editing the postfix master.cf config under Plesk 12.5? Will changes get overwritten or not? I did the change to enable plus addressing - and it works perfectly for now. I just don't know if I can safely use plus-address. Thanks!

Assuming, that you still want to receive mails from the outside world, you should better not do that. If I remember correctly, though, you can disable submission (i.e. sending outgoing) mail on port 25 if you really want to.

Hi all together, Since I didn't find any tutorial how to set up a dynamic DNS service when running Linux and Plesk, I did some research and in the end created my own tutorial: http://silenced.eu/your-own-dyndns-server-with-ubuntu-and-plesk/ I'd be happy about any feedback or suggestions...
