Direct changes to /etc/postfix/main.cf - Will Plesk Override?

PaulMcKillop

New Pleskian
Hi,

We have had issues previously with the Outbound Anti-Spam plugin and have signed up with a 3rd party outbound spam filter provider. For this to work, we need to enter 5 settings in to main.cf to allow for a 'smarthost', to have Postfix send mail out via this 3rd party.

My issue is that if we edit the /etc/postfix/main.cf directly, we don't want Plesk to override these settings. We are currently running version 11.5.30 u42 of Plesk.

It is critical to us that we find a way to implement this service.

Thank you for your time.


Regards,
PAUL.
 
Hello,

You can check it by adding changes into /etc/postfix/main.cf, and then call /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/mchk. If, after that, your changes are present in main.cf, then Plesk will not override it.

Regards,
Michael.
