• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

Question Account level filtering - Third party spam filtering/direct delivery

Computationalerr

New Pleskian
We switched to a host using plesk about a year ago. We were using cpanel for email previously. I had forgotten about the account level filtering I had in cpanel. This filtering prevented any emails that did not go through my third party spam filter. Basically, if it didnt have a keyword in any header, it would get rejected. I had been submitting spam, and got an email back yesterday reminding me about the direct delivery issue.
I have been searching the forums, and the documentation, and emailed my host. Apparently this is not possible as a plesk user. My host said they cannot add a filter to spam assassin for me from the back end because of licensing, and I cannot add any filters like I describe in the user interface.
What do I need to do to prevent emails being directly delivered to my hosted mail server and bypassing my third party spam filter?
