• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

Which means the files are there right I can probally go to godaddy paid support but we've had this problem in the past and they didnt seem to help. Only thing that might be different from the norm is we are using Postini on most of our domains and as all our domain are trying to unspool into this machine it may be causing issues.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
