Question LetsEncrypt certificate for mail.domain.tld

Dear Community,

We are having multiple hosting servers with between 300-500 accounts per server. I am running against the following.
Alot of customers want to use mail.domain.tld:993 / 465 / 587 for incoming/outgoing email. Therefore a certificate is needed.
When you order a LE certificate you are able to select webmail but not the common mail. subdomain.

The wildcard part will not work for us since we use 3th party DNS software and customers needs to change the CNAME every 60-90 days.
There is a workaround by adding mail.domain.tld as a alias to subscription. But it will be much easier if you can simply select the mail. subdomain same as the webmail checkbox.

Is it somehow possible to add mail.domain.tld to the existing list by adding something in the panel.ini, or is there a other solution for it?

Kind regards,

Kevin
 
No, it is not possible.

Plesk and it's LetsEncrypt support becomes borderline useless, if you don't run the DNS AND WEB service for a domain on the Plesk server.
There is also no way to issue a wildcard cert and securing the mail parts of a domain, if the website points to an external server.
