  • 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 Again: Let's Encrypt & Postfix

Hey Folks,

I think I've read all topics about setting up a correct Mail-Setup with Plesk Onyx and Postfix for our customers - but still got "some" problems.

What I've done so far:
- I've changed the hostname to server.our-domain.de
- I've added the subdomain server.our-domain.de at Plesk and assigned an Let's Encrypt SSL-Certificate
- I assigned the Certificat eat Preferences --> SSL to Secure Plesk AND Mail-Server
- At the Customer Domains I changed the DNS MX Records to server.our-domain.de
- The IP correctly resolves to server.our-domain.de
- Our customers all use server.our-domain.de as imap/smtp adress

But if I check the SSL with a customer Domain here: https://ssl-tools.net/mailservers it says: Hostname Mismatch.
If i run checktls.com with a customer mail-adress everything seems to be fine.

Some customers get Certificate errors sometimes, others not. Have I made any general mistakes?
What's up with the automatic DNS entry like mail.customer1.de - to my understanding I don't need them?

Thank you in advanced & kind regards

Sascha

Hello @skot1708 ,
you can check your ssl certificate with CryptCheck , just try usual port like 993,995,465,587.
 
I had a similar problem, the certificate must cover all third-level domains, ie smtp.domain.tld is required a certificate for the following or in a default wildcard certificate:
  • smtp
  • mail
  • pop
  • pop3

I hope I've helped.
