  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.

Question support for name+tag in local part of email addresses

mike-t

New Pleskian
Hi,

is there an option to enable support for 'name+tag' in the local part of email addresses?

e.g. [email protected], that a mail to [email protected] is delivered to [email protected]

For further references see https://people.cs.rutgers.edu/~watrous/plus-signs-in-email-addresses.html


Based on Issue - allowed characters for email address
> `+` character was banned in the scope of support of mail subaddressing (VERP-style) in 18.0.30 because it is usually used as a delimiter between local part of mailname and tag.

'+' is banned from the VERP scope __BECAUSE_IT_IS_USUALLY_USED_AS_A_DELIMITER__ - great, then it should be available for 'name+tag' usage like intended by this change, but I can't find any documentation how this future could be enabled.


There is also Support all RFC3696 local part characters
> The issue fixed (see #PPPM-12781 for reference) in the Plesk Obsidian 18.0.34 Change Log for Plesk Obsidian

which points to PPPB-12781
> If the “Enable email subaddressing” option is disabled, it is not possible to create email addresses that contain special characters. If Plesk already has mailboxes whose email
> addresses contain special characters, it is not possible to enable the option. (PPPM-12781)

but actually that's obviously about fix email address with support for special characters.

In the documentation mailserver: Mail Server Settings I found
--email-subaddressing-enabletrue|falseEnables or disables the ability to configure VERP-style email addresses for mailing lists on a Plesk server.
By default, VERP-style email addresses for mailing lists are enabled.
To enable VERP-style email addresses for mailing lists:
plesk bin mailserver --email-subaddressing-enable true

but again, it's about VERP for mailing lists.

Is there any option for 'name+tag' support?

Cheers
Michael
