things in main.cf get overwritten when changing unrelated "Mail Server Settings"

[wurzelpete]

Hi!
I have edited the main.cf file to integrate some anti-spam settings which work flawlessly. Now I noticed that whenever I change something completely unrelated in the "Mail Server Settings"-Page, some of these settings get removed and replaced with default values.

In particular these settings of mine

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =
 permit_mynetworks,
 permit_sasl_authenticated,
 reject_non_fqdn_sender,
 reject_non_fqdn_recipient,
 reject_unknown_sender_domain,
 reject_unknown_recipient_domain,
 reject_unknown_client_hostname,
 reject_unauth_destination,
 reject_rbl_client ix.dnsbl.manitu.net

get replaced by

smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination

Obviously I want to keep my own settings even if I change something in Plesk on the "Mail Server Settings" page (and wherever else).

How can I prevent Plesk from overwriting my own settings of smtpd_recipient_restrictions?

Thanks for your help!

Is a cron-job auto-replacement of these values really the only viable way?

Doesn't Plesk use postconf to add and delete values?
It shouldn't touch any of the already existing settings I thought.


IgorG, can you verify?

Any news on the issue? Any information I can provide to make the search for the problem easier?

I face the same issue and there are several trigger when plesk overwrite/replace the main.cf. I have as a workaround a cronjob who checks if the main.cf was modified and replace it with my version. Hopefully there will be a better solution

Bump. No further updates? I have the same issue on Plesk 11.
