email concerns

[supersorie@]

Hi Guys

We're currently using Plesk 8.0 and we are on our way to avail a new license for another server.
Just few questions.

1. Upon creation of email address, may we know what are the tables in the database are affected once email address was created.

2. Were planning to create a script to activate certain domain and email address in a certain client, is this method will work?

3. Any limitations in number of email addresses in a certain domain? example : domain ABC will have a 20,000 mailbox? is this possible? any issues?

4. Is there a way to encrypt the email password?

Hi,
1. When you create e-mail address, Plesk writes data to several tables. For finding it out, just create dump of the plesk database, then create mail account and dump plesk database again. Then compare these 2 dumps.

2. look at the help of the commands: (use --help options)
/usr/local/psa/bin/domain.sh
/usr/local/psa/bin/mail.sh
You will see list of available command which you can perform. With this command you can activate domains.

3. Plesk does not have limitation on the number of mail addresses on domain. But in my option if you want to use 20.000 mailboxes on the domain you need to use standalone mail server.

4. There is no way to create mail boxes from Plesk with encrypted passwords.
