• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Mail Configuration / Reverse DNS does not match SMTP Banner

Some of our customers are having problems with email being bounced back with the following error;

554 Your access to this mail system has been rejected due to the sending MTA's poor reputation. If you believe that this failure is in error, please contact the intended recipient via alternate means.

The IP isn't blacklisted so it looks like the problem is the reverse DNS on the IP not matching the SMTP banner. This doesn't match and we can't get it to match as they are on a shared IP. But I'm wondering if the real issue is the way we've configured mail.

Our Plesk hostname is plesk.domain.com - should we be using this as the SMTP relay for domains on shared IP?

It also looks like there is an issue with the SMTP banner. This is showing Plesk.home rather than plesk.domain.com (which I assume it should be showing). Is this a configuration problem? Maybe a bug?

We're still running the lite version of Mail Enable at present.

Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated as this is causing a major problem at present.
 
I think you can configure SMTP service in Mailenable Administrator and specify your server's hostname in mail domain name field.
