Question Mails sent by plesk_virtual (local) are not delivered

[peterbinsje]

Server operating system version

Debian 12

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian Web Pro Edition Version 18.0.67 Update #3

My Postfix is configured to use "Zorgeloos Mailen" from TransIP, which correctly adds DKIM signatures to outgoing mail.

However, when a cron job fails, an email is sent from root@[server] using plesk_virtual instead of Postfix. These emails are sent without DKIM and are therefore not delivered, which is expected behavior due to missing authentication.


This issue has been mentioned before and is open for voting here:
Allow DKIM/DMARC/SPF records for the server's hostname domain

Version: Plesk Obsidian Web Pro Edition Version 18.0.67 Update #3

Is there really no other solution for this?

We'd like to keep using DKIM for all outgoing mail, including local system messages.

Do I understand correctly that I can enter an existing email address using the following code in panel.ini?

[notification] 
[email protected]

Will the email address I specify then be delivered locally for Plesk notifications?
Because this goes via plesk_virtual and not via Postfix.
Postfix will probably still sign with DKIM...

I can at least confirm that using this entry in the panel.ini will prevent system mails going to the spam folder or being blocked. I'm also using this entry. EDIT: But I set it to something@my-server-hostname, e.g. [email protected].

But I also did the following because of the same problem:
Edit the file /etc/psa/dmarc.conf

Content:
IgnoreMailFrom <server-hostname>, <admin-mail-domain>

So if your server's name is svr.example.org and your admin mail [email protected], then you write:
IgnoreMailFrom svr.example.org, example.com

This does indeed work, so you don't need to do panel.ini.
