Question Configure Email Client Template

[Kristo]

Please have a look at the pictures. Is it possible to replace <domain.tld> with one I specify by my own?

I´m not using DNS Bind because of an external DNS.

The modal is part of the plesk panel e-mail settings.

Hi Kristo,

on linux - based systems, you have the choice to use "find" and/or "grep", which gives you the possibility to search for a defined text for example. You could use:

grep -r 'Configure Email Client' /usr/local/psa
( which will for example lead you to: => "/usr/local/psa/admin/application/smb/resources/languages/en-US/controllers/email-address/configuration.php" )

Now you see at "configuration.php", that the fields are named with "fieldIncomingServer" and "fieldOutgoingServer", which again can be searched with a "grep" - command... for example:

grep -r 'fieldIncomingServer' /usr/local/psa
and
grep -r 'fieldOutgoingServer' /usr/local/psa

Both commands will now point you to the basic file "/usr/local/psa/admin/application/smb/views/scripts/email-address/configuration.phtml", where the queries are done:

...
<?php echo $this->lmsg('fieldIncomingServer'); ?>: <?php echo $this->escape($this->domainName); ?><br>
<?php echo $this->lmsg('fieldOutgoingServer'); ?>: <?php echo $this->escape($this->domainName); ?><?php echo ($this->hasSmtpAuth) ? (' (' . $this->lmsg('smtpAuth') . ')') : ''; ?><br>
...

If you would like to change the output to something you desire, you have to manually modify these lines.

​

Pls. be aware, that editing Plesk files are done on your own risk and your edits may disappear in case of updates/upgrades/patches from Plesk!

Indeed grep is a very powerful command. Thanks for your help.

I´d like to avoid to edit Plesk files because of the two reasons you pointed out.

Could I manage to change those values if I install DNS Bind and change the MX record how it is used in my actual nameserver zone file?

Is that linked with each other?
