  • 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.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

In the subscription panel of theaffecteddomain.com, the outgoing mail control has a limit of 40 emails per hour (the mail log has hundreds of emails sent) and the pop up graph in the same page reports that there are 3 nessages sent from this domain.

Also, the "Allow using Sendmail for scripts and users on this subscription" setting is unchecked as well for quite a while now.

Is there a way to find out why all these messages bypassed the plesk outgoing mail control?
How can i prevent such situations in the future?
