  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.
  • 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.

Mailman: duplicate list names across all domains

G'Day All,
I'm wanting to setup my Mailman to allow duplicate list names across all domains, i.e. -
[email protected]
[email protected]

The Mailman install 2.1.9 in Plesk 8.4.0 uses the standard directory of /var/lib/mailman/lists
creating a members list in domain1.com would create -
/var/lib/mailman/lists/members

When you go to create a members list in domain2.com it fails as it already exists.

From reading forums and posts, there are ways to do this via patches where lists are created with the domain appended -
members-domain1.com
members-domain2.com

After doing this, you need to do some rewriting in your email aliases to point -
[email protected] --> members-domain1.com list
[email protected] --> members-domain2.com list

My questions -
1. Has anyone done this in their Plesk environment?
2. Did you automate the creation of the qmail aliases (and the deletion/rename)?
3. Does anyone know of a better idea?

I've just migrated from a dedicated server with no cp and did it all by hand, but after seeing the Plesk interface, like it so my clients don't need to get me to make changes all the time. Would be nice to have the capability for duplicate list names.

Cheers,
Scott
