• 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.

Spam being sent even with sendmail disabled

Hi guys,

We specifically disable sendmail to prevent Wordpress users from being vulnerable to contact form manipulation to send spam. Our customer was reported for sending spam with an email address that doesn't exist in Plesk. A bit confused as to how this is being done if sendmail is disabled and they do not have an email address created based on the one that was mentioned.

Please advise, thnx
 
Take a look at mail header of the email your customer receive. There you can verify if the email is really from your server.
If so, take a look at maillog at the time your customer got the email and check which account sends the email.
