Question Use Plesk as only mail

maximid

New Pleskian

Plesk version and microupdate number

Hello, I want to create a Service Pack for only use as Mail Hosting.

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

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?
