• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Email Alias, Forwarding and Redirects

KimHuff

New Pleskian
I am new to the Plesk control panel. For the last eight or more years I have been using Ensim. I recently moved to a new provider that uses Plesk. Although I really like the options and the interface, I am confused by a few of the features.

On my old server, I had a few domains setup using what they called an email alias. There alias service worked like this. I would create the main email addresses assigning user names and passwords. Then I would click on Alias and the first line would be the name of the alias. For example, billing. Then below that, would be a window with all the email addresses I had created. I could click on one or more email addresses that was assigned to receive the emails for billing.

I tried to do this in plesk, but it will not allow me to create an alias with the same name for more than one person. I tried Mail Group, but the only way I could figure out how to do it was to create an email address for billing and then a Mail Group from that. And although that does seem to work, it is also holding an email for the account billing which is never going to be downloaded by anyone.

What I need to do is figure out how to create an address that is not a real email address, but only a gateway that sends all messages to the real recipents. Is this possible with Plesk? If so, how do you set it up?

Thank you for your time.
