  • 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.

Question Script Change Password all Mailbox

marcelhalls

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Ubuntu 22.04
Plesk version and microupdate number
18.0.61
I need to change the password for all email boxes on a specific domain in order to migrate the boxes with imapsync.
I tried the script below but when I run it, it returns the following error: " The specified email address is not valid. Specify a valid one that matches the following pattern: [email protected]. "

Below is the script I used:

Bash:
#!/bin/bash

# Set the specific domain
DOMAIN="example.com"
# Set new password
NEW_PASSWORD="newSecurePassword"

# Get the list of email accounts for the specified domain
ACCOUNTS_EMAIL=$(plesk bin mail -l | grep "@$DOMINIO" | awk '{print $1}')

# Iterate over each email account and change the password
for EMAIL in $CONTAS_EMAIL; of
 echo "Changing account password: $EMAIL"
 plesk bin mail --update "$EMAIL" -passwd "$NEW_SENHA"
done

echo "Password change completed."

How did you came up with that script? It contains a number of errors and inconsistencies that you need to solve first.
 
Try this:

Bash:
#!/bin/bash

# Set the specific domain
DOMAIN="example.com"
# Set new password
NEW_PASSWORD="newSecurePassword"

# Get the list of email accounts for the specified domain
ACCOUNTS_EMAIL=$(/usr/local/psa/bin/mail --list | grep "@$DOMAIN" | awk '{print $3}')

# Iterate over each email account and change the password
for EMAIL in $ACCOUNTS_EMAIL; do
 echo "Changing account password: $EMAIL"
/usr/local/psa/bin/mail --update "$EMAIL" -passwd "$NEW_PASSWORD"
done

echo ""
echo "Password change completed."
 
Try this:

Bash:
#!/bin/bash

# Set the specific domain
DOMAIN="example.com"
# Set new password
NEW_PASSWORD="newSecurePassword"

# Get the list of email accounts for the specified domain
ACCOUNTS_EMAIL=$(/usr/local/psa/bin/mail --list | grep "@$DOMAIN" | awk '{print $3}')

# Iterate over each email account and change the password
for EMAIL in $ACCOUNTS_EMAIL; do
 echo "Changing account password: $EMAIL"
/usr/local/psa/bin/mail --update "$EMAIL" -passwd "$NEW_PASSWORD"
done

echo ""
echo "Password change completed."


Worked perfectly!

Sorry for the delay in responding, I was away these days.

Thank you one more time!
