missing feature: change multiple email settings

[Sven L.]

Hi,

so yeah, most stuff can be changed via "subscription plans"

however there was a real good way in plesk 9.5.4 to just select several mail accounts in a domain and change all their settings at once.

now, i just trasferer a domain with 300+ mailboxes from plesk 9.5.4 to plesk 11.5 and i want to change their setting to "move spam to the spam folder"

do i really have to go one by one all 300+ mailboxes to change this setting?

Yes, unfortunately! However if you are familiar with Shell you can go this way:

/usr/local/psa/bin/mail --help

will take a look at that ASAP. thx mate

PS: (would be nice if plesk would implement this again. a pity they removed the option in first place)

True, its such a pain when dealing with multiple records! I hope they will soon push out an update with this feature in place.

 

[Sven L.]

well, it does work. will have to write a quick script to do it for all mailboxes, that's all.

pity it doesnt allow *@domain.com or i could change all mailbox settings out of the box with shell

I really don't think they should even be told about about this ...Ie, an upgrade should be a [better than what is or was]. That feature existed in the old versions, at minimum it should be there even with the upgrade ..

I know they will implement it but I guess they are still focusing on "primary" functions / features.

The eggs were already broken and the omelet was already made!, that is to say, plesk 11.* is not a whole new product! It just evolved from the previous versions ...

I created a feature request:

You can try to use something like:

for i in `mysql -uadmin -p\`cat /etc/psa/.psa.shadow\` psa -Ns -e "select concat(mail.mail_name,\"@\",domains.name) as address from mail,domains,accounts where mail.dom_id=domains.id and mail.account_id=accounts.id order by address"`; do /usr/local/psa/bin/spamassassin -u $i -action move; done
