  • 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.

Backscatter, bounce bounce and local recipients

New Pleskian
Hi,

My server (plesk 9.5.2) is getting emails send to a non-existant local address.

As pointed out in http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=108842 this causes a bounce when I really want the mail rejected.

Tailing the maillog (see below) shows what happens.

My control/smtpplugins includes a chkrcptto plugin (which i guess is standard plesk).

I understand that there are various patches out there but I am not confident in my skills just in case the qmail system stops after applying the patch.

Is there a way of incuding my servers name in the mailnames folder and default file so that emails are checked ?

ie /var/qmail/mailnames/my.serversname.tld/.qmail-default


I think plesk ovewrites most of the control/* files when a domain is added etc.


regards

Justin.
