• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Domainkeys and mail group

hgmichna

Basic Pleskian
Something ever computer science student learns pretty early is the concept of orthogonality. What is meant is that, if a computer program has two features, then it is not enough that one feature works and the other also works. The requirement is that both functions still work when they are both used at the same time.

I have meanwhile lost all trust in Plesk anyway, and they have no grasp of this concept either. My current example is the Domainkeys function and the mail group function. Needless to explain, Plesk neither programmed these two functions to work simultaneously, nor did they even test both of them together, otherwise they would have noticed that it doesn't work. The server happily rewrites the mail headers and doesn't care at all that this invalidates the domainkey.

Technically this is very simple to solve. When the server sends the mail to each recipient in the mail group, it has to write a new domainkey, just as it does for every other mail. Think for yourself about why Plesk still didn't do it.

If I look, I find a new defect every few days. The situation is totally hopeless.
