  • 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.

Whitelist my backup MX from Greylisting

RealAbraCadaver

New Pleskian
I want to whitelist my backup MX servers so that I can run greylisting on them and my Plesk server. I don't want the backup to greylist and then my Plesk server to greylist the same messages. I could run it only on the Plesk server, however if the mail arrives at my backup then it takes some time to make it to my Plesk server, and then some time for the greylisting/retry.

In Plesk Server-Wide Mail Settings / White List I have added the following for my backup MX servers:

  • 208.79.240.2 / 32
  • 208.79.241.2 / 32

I restarted Postfix and Milter but still see this in my maillog, telling me it is still deferring mail from my backup MX server:

Feb 13 17:03:36 u17411632 postfix/smtpd[4159]: disconnect from mail2.rollernet.us[208.79.241.2]

How do I do this?

Hi,

have a look at the following command and see if it helps you:

# /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/glmng --help

I'd think "glmng --disable-greylisting [--address=<address>]" might help.
If not try adding your DNS Names not IPs to the white list.

Regards,
Kristian
