• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Dear Forum,

I'm currently facing a problem that might be trival to you but I am unable to resolve this that is why I'm asking you.

The scenario is:
customer with domain abc.com is hosting his mails at me and his website to hence we have a Sophos UTM with WAF(Web Application Firewall) active and let's Encrypt certificates are successfully generated by the UTM since years all worked fine using the client config for Activesync in Plesk Premium Mail by Kolab with the email address as username and the domain as server address.

The change:
The customer has a friend that is offering him the hosting for free and so he moved over there but only for the website the mails he wants to stay. So we need to make abc.com point to their servers

The problem:
As we use Activesync we are required to use the domain as server address but as the domain is now pointing to the webserver of the friend, activesync isn't working anymore as it resolves to a the friends server instead of mine.

The idea:
If it's somehow possible to configure for that domain that it points to mail.abc.com we could simply configure the client to that server instead of the domain and so we could split both the webhosting and the mail hosting.

I don't see how to realize that.

I would be more than happy to get some help with that.

Thank you
