Create mail account for subdomain (KB 119459)

[Andreas1]

Hi!

In Plesk (V. 12.0.18) there is no possibility to create mail accounts for subdomains via web interface. The KB article http://kb.odin.com/en/119459 describes this problem. The article suggests two possible ways.

I don´t want to use option 1 (create subdomain as additional domain) because a subdomain as domain wastes a domain in the license model.

Instead of that I tried the second way (command line interface). I can execute the first command without problems. When I try to execute the second command, I get the following error: "An error occured during mailname creation: Unable to set password: Domain of type subdomain selected".

Is there any explanation, why this workaround doesn´t work for me?

Unfortunately this command works only for Parallels Plesk Panel for Windows.

That´s annoying. Then the article should be changed.

So option 1 (create subdomain as additional domain) seems to be the only possibility on a linux based system. Is this for technical reasons?

Is this for technical reasons?

I think so. I think that this will be fixed in scope of bugreport mentioned in article.
