• 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.

TITLE

Server Backup Manager sends error email with improper From header

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 Update #9, AlmaLinux 9.8 (Olive Jaguar), x86

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

My Backup Manager Schedule has the following setting enabled: If errors occur during the execution of this backup task, send a notification email to [email protected]

The Plesk server uses the email address in that field as the From header, too.

Code:
From: Administrator <[email protected]>
To: [email protected]
Subject: Backup task notification

In my case, the email domain is not managed by this Plesk server.

The email provider quarantined the email because the server did not have permission to send from the email domain.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Configure a Server Backup Schedule.

Enabled the setting If errors occur during the execution of this backup task, send a notification email to and use an email address domain than cannot be managed by a Plesk server, for example gmail.com

Force a backup error - in my case it was a permission on a file such that the Backup Manager could not read the file.

Observe the message header using the email address in that field as the From header.

ACTUAL RESULT

Backup task notification error email is quarantined by the mail service of the domain used because of the misconfiguration described above.

EXPECTED RESULT

Backup task notification should be sent from the email address configured in Panel.ini

Code:
[notification]
[email protected]

Or, if not configured, an appropriate fallback email address for which the domain is allowed to send email from the server.
