• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

SMTP Authentication problem

Hi,

I configured "SMTP authorization is required" under Plesk >Server >Mail. But, in outlook, I can send emails without checking "My outgoing mail server requires authentication". As far as I know, if I turn on "SMTP authentication" in plesk, I need to set up "my mail server requires authentication" in outlook. Otherwise, I should not be able to send emails. Can anyone explain me what do I miss here?

Also, from outlook, I can send emails from non-existence email address to local addresses.
for example,
sender : [email protected] (non-existence email)
receiver : [email protected]

So, it means anybody who knows my SMTP server can send spam emails to all the email addresses in my server.

Can anybody help me out to solve this problem? Thanks.
