Domainkeys and mail group

hgmichna

Basic Pleskian
Something ever computer science student learns pretty early is the concept of orthogonality. What is meant is that, if a computer program has two features, then it is not enough that one feature works and the other also works. The requirement is that both functions still work when they are both used at the same time.

I have meanwhile lost all trust in Plesk anyway, and they have no grasp of this concept either. My current example is the Domainkeys function and the mail group function. Needless to explain, Plesk neither programmed these two functions to work simultaneously, nor did they even test both of them together, otherwise they would have noticed that it doesn't work. The server happily rewrites the mail headers and doesn't care at all that this invalidates the domainkey.

Technically this is very simple to solve. When the server sends the mail to each recipient in the mail group, it has to write a new domainkey, just as it does for every other mail. Think for yourself about why Plesk still didn't do it.

If I look, I find a new defect every few days. The situation is totally hopeless.
