Question Disable or hide Smarthost tab on the domain mail settings page for customers

Server operating system version

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.76

The 18.0.76 release introduced Smarthost configuration per domain. How do I disable or hide Smarthost tab on the domain mail settings page for customers? Allowing only administrators to configure the smatrhost for a domain?

I haven't upgraded any of my servers to 18.0.76, but on the public Plesk demo noticed that the smarthost settings is available by default to customers too. This is something I very much like to avoid, or at least have some control over. I am afraid customers on shared hosting servers will (unintendedly) misconfigure a smarthost for their domain and as a result will clogging the mail que with deferrals and a like, straining server resources.

Also, do messages send via a smarthost still count towards the mail limit?

Hello,

How do I disable or hide Smarthost tab on the domain mail settings page for customers?

The panel.ini option to control visibility:
[mail]
smarthost.domain.enabled = false

Allowing only administrators to configure the smatrhost for a domain?

Unfortunately, no way so far.

Also, do messages send via a smarthost still count towards the mail limit?

Should be.

Thanks Michael, that's good to know

I would really love to have more granular control over this feature by having the option to enable/disable this via service plans. Being able to configure a smarthost per domain is really useful to have, it's just not a suited feature for all hosting customers to have access to.
