• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

TITLE:
[12.5.30] Event handler bug: mail account manipulation fails if username contains apostrophe
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk 12.5.30 Update #69, CentOS Linux 7.3.1611
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
Tested on 12.5.30 Update #69 on CentOS 7 with "mail account created" and "mail account deleted". We've just found that we can't use the Plesk event handler if the email username contains an apostrophe, e.g. o'[email protected]. When I create such an account in Plesk the handler registered in Plesk isn't executed. If the username is [email protected] there's no issue.
I know in the past Plesk couldn't manage email usernames containing apostrophe in the local part, but it's been fixed for quite some time. We need to be able to use the event handler for such usernames.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create the following script:
# cat /usr/local/bin/eventcheck.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "Customer account has been created. Name: ${NEW_MAILNAME}" >> /tmp/event_handler.log

Then use it for "mail account created" with the following command:
/usr/local/bin/eventcheck.sh ${NEW_MAILNAME}

Now add mail account o'[email protected] in Plesk.​
ACTUAL RESULT:
The handler isn't being executed​
EXPECTED RESULT:
The handler should be executed​

Ohh... Please rewrite your request with detailed info for each required point. I can forward it to developers with just links.
Thanks.
 
As temporary workaround you can try to use quotes in command:

/usr/local/bin/eventcheck.sh "${NEW_MAILNAME}"

This will not completely fix the issue (apostrophes won't be shown in log) but at least event handler will be operational.

Issue reproduced on 17.8.6. Bug confirmed.
