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."

/usr/local/psa/bin/mail --update "$EMAIL" -passwd "$NEW_PASSWORD"

Worked perfectly!

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

Thank you one more time!
