• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Antispam Alternative

I have just moved from cpanel to plesk (not by choice) but due to requiring a vps solution.

However, the VPS package does not provide any spam filtering. Im not sure 100% how mail has been set up on this ubuntu vps but i think qmail? Not sure how to find out really. Im new to linux , usually a windows user as its usally easier has windows has GUI's.

Anyway - Plesk does not come with spamassassin and looking through various posts on the web it looks very complicated.
I dont want to break my server as I have domains hosted on it now but spam - i get about 100 a day to my account alone.

What should i do?
I cant buy the plesk addon as its my hosts license not mine.
Is there an easy linux spam quide for ubuntu.

What are other people using?
Any help appreciated.
 
why not ask your hosting company for spamfiltering ? (or change the hosting company to one with spamfilter)
 
because they charge for it......
Im not changing hosts as Ive just moved to this one (PIPEX) tier-1 host.

so anyone else got a real response to my question?
 
Plesk does come with spamassassin, but someone might not have installed it.

I also maintain an archive of add-ons for PSA that address anti-spam/anti-virus (among a ton of other things). Ubuntu isn't supported, but maybe someone here can adapt my packages for that platform for you.
 
spamassassin can be installed however if you want to use it, i believe you need the control panel add-on which is 50usd however i cannot buy it as i dont own the plesk license, the isp/host does
