• 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.

Prevent users from sending email using our server

Is it possible to prevent users from sending email using our outgoing email servers?

They obviously know their email account username and password and if they user the same info for the outgoing server they can send mail.
 
Hi,

why do you wan't to prevent to send e-mails? What's the reason for that?

In my opinion, I don't think, thats possible to limit it in any way currently...

Kind regards
Henning

What MTA are you using?
 
We are using Qmail with simple account names. I can easily change to Postfix but then I have to contract all of users and change their passwords using full names so I’m reluctant to do that.

The reason for not wanting to let our users send email from the server is because we have been spammed twice in a month because user’s email passwords have been guessed.

As I write this reply, the answer is almost shouting at me in the face!!
 
In Plesk 11 is there any way to allow email users to have their own control panel? I have created a test email user but I can’t seem to login to the control panel with their credentials.
 
When creating an email account, you would be given the option of "Access to the Control Panel (username: )", just check it ...And if you don't have that option, then you would have to create an account user or upgrade plesk ..
 
I have plesk 11. I think that feature is in Plesk 11.5 - Creating a user for every email account on the server will take forever. What a pain.
 
I know it can be an inconvenience especially if you have hundreds of records ...Perhaps you should consider and upgrade!
 
Hi Adbi

We have made the transition to Postfix and everything seems to be OK apart from 1 thing. Emails that are sent by php scripts on our server now arrive for some users as raw html as below. Nothing else has changed apart from switching to Postfix. Any idea what the problem may be?

Fixed.

I changed the line 314 in the script

From:

$header .=
"{$key}: {$value}\r\n";
To:

$header .= "{$key}:
{$value}\n”;

Probably each line of email headers should be terminated only by the \n character.
