• The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • 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 reject or bounce mail on individual account

How do I reject (preferred) or bounce (acceptable) email sent to a specific account?

I'm moving my domain to a Plesk environment from an old shared host, and am trying to duplicate behaviors.

I want misspelled addresses (such as [email protected]) to be redirected to a single account we can check ([email protected]), which is easy to do. But I then want to bounce or reject specific addresses (such as [email protected] or [email protected]).

This should be obvious and easy to do, but I can't see the options in Plesk....
 
If you're not too bothered about the bounce you can just setup those as new mail names in Plesk, but not assign a mailbox/redirect/etc. to it. If you want a bounce message you can do the above but add an autoresponse. All mail to addresses configured in Plesk without a redirect/mailbox will be dropped silently.
 
Thanks, Cranky.

Of course reject would be better. Spammers have gotten ahold of a couple of these accounts, and I'd rather not add the round-trip traffic, or have them use the accounts to bounce spam to spoofed senders.

If anyone from SWsoft is listening, please add this as a feature request ;)
