• Hi, Pleskians! We are running a UX testing of our upcoming product intended for server management and monitoring.
    We would like to invite you to have a call with us and have some fun checking our prototype. The agenda is pretty simple - we bring new design and some scenarios that you need to walk through and succeed. We will be watching and taking insights for further development of the design.
    If you would like to participate, please use this link to book a meeting. We will sent the link to the clickable prototype at the meeting.
  • (Plesk for Windows):
    MySQL Connector/ODBC 3.51, 5.1, and 5.3 are no longer shipped with Plesk because they have reached end of life. MariaDB Connector/ODBC 64-bit 3.2.4 is now used instead.
  • The Horde webmail has been deprecated. Its complete removal is scheduled for April 2025. For details and recommended actions, see the Feature and Deprecation Plan.

Question Use Plesk as only mail

maximid

New Pleskian
Server operating system version
Debian 11.9
Plesk version and microupdate number
Version 18.0.58 Update #2
Hello, I want to create a Service Pack for only use as Mail Hosting.

Do you have any suggestions? How do you use it?


Regards

We have email-only subscriptions on our server. The DNS is hosted on Plesk, which helps SPF, DKIM and the webmail certificates work. The DNS then points the website to a different IP address.

One recommendation is that your external website is hosted on WWW.domain.tld and that you have domain.tld hosted on your Plesk server. You can then easily set up a deep-linking redirection catch-all webpage. The reason for this is that then domain.tld (which is typically used for email client settings) is pointing to the host which runs the email server.

It's a bit of a fudge... but it works!

Could you elaborate on how to setup the deep linking redirection catch-all webpage?

I want to host my shop on shopify but use plesk for email hosting.
 
For Shopify, simply route your @ DNS entry (the domain name itself) to 23.227.38.32 and your www subdomain as a CNAME to shops.myshopify.com. All other traffic continues to your own server, including your emails.
 
So I would just need to add it as normal domain with hosting etc.? But just adjust the entries as per your reply?

Or do I need to set it up as e-mail only?
