  • 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.

Resolved Auto-reply is not sending the updated message!

Basic Pleskian
Hello,
I'm using Plesk Obsidian 18 on CentOS 7.6. Although auto-reply message has been edited (updated), for some reason the older message is being sent.

Plesk repair mail yields no error.
I restarted the server to no avail.

What am I doing wrong?
 
UPDATE:
The solution is to use: ./autoresponder --update -mail [mail address]

Last question, please: I have thousands of email addresses, is there a way to update all of them in one go, for example, by using the asterik *@domain.com?
 
No, using an asteriks as a wildcard won't work.

Are you trying to update all mailboxes on your server? Or just for a particular domain?

You could run this script to update the autoresponder for all mailboxes on your server.
Bash:
#!/bin/bash

for i in $(/usr/local/psa/bin/mail -l | sed '/^Alias/d' | tr '\t' ' ' | cut -d' ' -f 3-); do
      ./autoresponder --update -mail "$i"
done

Or if you just want to update the autoresponder on mailboxes for a particular domain you could use something like:
Bash:
#!/bin/bash

for i in $(/usr/local/psa/bin/mail -l | sed '/^Alias/d' | tr '\t' ' ' | cut -d' ' -f 3-); do
        if [[ $i == *"@domain.com" ]]; then
             ./autoresponder --update -mail "$i"
        fi
done

I've just created these script from the top of my head and from snippets here on the forums. Test first for before using in production. If you have a lot of mailboxes than the script might take a while to finish.

Thank you, Rasp, for your response. All mailboxes belong to one domain.
I think the second script will do. It will take 3 to 4 hours - 10,700 mailboxes -:)
