  • 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.

Question Attempts to exceed outgoing limits for domains, mailboxes and subscriptions.

How does Plesk (here, 17.5.3) handle mail limits when external mail-services are used?

The question aims on the fact that I do receive notifications about exceeding a given limit (specified a max value globally and some other limits by subscription plans) but it it is neither enforced nor do I actually care too much if an subscription-related limit is reached when the sending is not handled by my server anyway.
I.e. in below example notification, all 148 mails have been sent (which is fine, as per my understanding a sending limit should be enforced only when native plesk mailing service is used), yet I do receive these notifications (which makes me wonder).


Example notification received by mail:

Please be informed,
following customers' domains, mailboxes and subscriptions are reached their limits for outgoing emails for the period:
From Nov/27/2018 16:58
To Nov/27/2018 17:58
Subscriptions
domain.tld, the limit is 60 messages per hour
148 attempt(s) to exceed limits from Nov/27/2018 17:25 to Nov/27/2018 17:30​
