• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

How do I force TLS/SSL for SMTP authenication?

Hi,

I'm finishing up the installation of our Plesk 10.2 Ubuntu 10.04 machine. One of the things I want to do, is disable all unencrypted authentication. I've succeeded for everything except SMTP (Qmail).

Obviously, I can't close port 25 and force use of port 465, because then mail delivery will break.

I've tried all sorts of environment variables I could find in /etc/xinitd.d/smtp_psa, but nothing works.

Postfix has a smtpd_tls_auth_only option, but I can't seem to find it for Qmail, nor where to set it in the plesk-installed version.

Any help is welcome.
 
I found out I could just run /opt/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller and replace Qmail with Postfix. With postfix, I enabled smtpd_tls_auth_only and it's done.
