  • 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.

Email filtering

Hello,

I am trying to use email filters to prevent receiving junk email when I download my email using Outlook. I set up a filter with one of my mailboxes to delete all incoming mail that does not have a specific subject line. I chose the option to run this filter during Login. It works great when I log into the Plesk control panel (i.e. When I send a junk email to that box with the wrong subject line and then log into that mailbox, I get a nice message telling me that an email was automatically deleted - so far - so good).

However, when I use MS Outlook to download my emails from the server -the filter is not applied and I still receive the junk email in my Outlook inbox.

Is there anything I can do to have the filter act on ALL email as soon as it arrives at the server? I would like it to be deleted before I even try to download my email from the server using MS Outlook.

Thanks for any help,
Dave Meindl
