  • Support for BIND DNS has been removed from Plesk for Windows due to security and maintenance risks.
    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.

7.5.4 Update

Please make sure that you are not mixing up 'Secure Password' Authentication(SPA) with SMTP authentication 'My Server Requires Authentication'.

If you are turning on SPA, then sending will fail.

I have seen many people confuse the 2 types of authentication before, so just thought I'd throw that one out there...
 
James,

That sounds VERY interesting. However, I wonder if you could explain a bit more. Do you mean a setting in Plesk or a setting in my mail client?

In Plesk, "Server > Server-wide mail preferences"
I have it set to Relaying "authorization is required:" SMTP == checked

In my mail client, I have:
authentication:password (and that l/p entered)

IS there some OTHER place in Plesk to look for a SMTP setting, since I am unsure what you speak of.

Thanks!
 
In your email client (such as Outlook), you do *not* want to checkmark the secure password option. You do want to checkmark the 'Server requires authentication'.
