  • 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.

Question mail.mydomain.com & webmail.mydomain.com ssl errors

Zakky

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.62 #1
I added my domain to Plesk (mydomain.com) and configured all the basic settings, including the SSL certificate. Webmail opens fine, but mail.mydomain opens the default Plesk page. Is this how it's supposed to be, or is something wrong on my end?

Hi there, mail.<mydomain> isn't used by Plesk, instead the main domain (so just mydomain.com) is secured for mail connections (IMAP, POP3, SMTP).

Does this mean I can delete the A record for mail.myweb.com from my Plesk DNS settings ? I rented a server from Hetzner with Plesk pre-installed, and those records were there by default. Is it better to rent a server separately and manually install Plesk?
 
There is no need to remove it, mail.<domain> is actually a quite common DNS record. Just not used by Plesk for secure mail connections. But if bothers you, you can delete it. If you do, make sure that your MX record(s) still point to a valid host.

I just feel it's not quite right that I have a domain mail.mydomain.com opening up, which I didn't create, and it shows the default Plesk page for default websites.
