• The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP greeting

TITLE:
Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP greeting​
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
CentOS Linux 7.3.1611 (Core)‬
12.5.30 Update #62
​
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
We set the following option in Mail Settings at the server level:

"Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP greeting"

We can see /etc/postfix/master.cf is updated with additional configuration data including smtp_bind_address and smtp_helo_name. This information matches our domains and associated IP addresses.

We distributed email using mailman early this morning. I reviewed the headers of the resulting emails. They were sent from the IP address associated with the Server instead of the IP address associated with the Domain.​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  • Mail setting to: "Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP greeting"
  • create a domain with an ip address that is different than the server ip address
  • review configuration in /etc/postfix/master.cf
  • create a mailman distribution list for the new domain with one test email address
  • send an email to the mailman address for distribution
  • review the headers of the resulting email -- specifically the sending IP Address
ACTUAL RESULT:
Email sent from Server IP Address​
EXPECTED RESULT:
Email sent from Domain IP Address​
