  • 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.

12.5 Plesk upgrade overwrites Postfix header_checks

S

Basic Pleskian
Just a warning to anyone who uses the /etc/postfix/header_checks file to use custom filtering of email.

Upgrading Plesk copies over this file. I've spent over a year customizing and tweeking my header_checks file to almost completely eliminate spam...and now after I upgraded Plesk to 12.5 it's gone.

I realize it's mostly my own fault for not thinking to back up this file...but Plesk really should NOT be copying over that file in the first place. Bad, bad, bad....
 
Actually this file is a part of OS vendor's postfix package:

# rpm -qf /etc/postfix/header_checks
postfix-2.11.5-centos6.15072015.i386

I suppose that you should address your "bad, bad, bad" words to OS vendor packagers who did not provide creation backup file like /etc/postfix/header_checks.rpmsave after postfix package update. A lot of different config files can be customized by Plesk users. It is really very difficult to predict all these possible customizations and perform backup of each potentially customized file.
