• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be 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.

Question Setting up SMTP

brownbag

Basic Pleskian
I'm changing my mail functionality to use phpmailer so that I can more easily use SMTP with my outgoing mail. I need to set up SMTP on my server to do so (and then in my script include smtp host, username and password). My currently installed mail server is postfix. I have got one email address hosted on the server.

Currently I only do two 'mail-related' things on my server:
1. I host one email address; and
2. I send mail from php scripts.

So I want to set up SMTP without impacting my current functionality.
Do I need to change my mail server to MSMTP or does Postfix include SMTP? If postfix does include SMTP, how can I get the details of this or configure it?

If I do change to MSMTP, it will uninstall postfix and Dovecot (as it depends on Postfix). If I do this, will I lose any functionality, or will it affect my mailbox.
