• 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.

Input Better DNS record validation

We regularity see users adding invalid DNS records into the panel that Plesk happily accepts:

Eg 1. Invalid SPF records (users include double quotes for their SPF records):
Code: 
"v=spf1 include:spf.protection.outlook.com -all"

Eg. 2. Invalid SRV records (users enter in the underscore in the service name and protocol not knowing that Plesk automatically adds this so you end up with double underscores).
Code: 
__sip.__tls.example.com.

All of this could be corrected very easily with better DNS record validation.
