  • 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.

Question Email spam and email account hacked

Carloz

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

I have dozens of clients email account hosted on my vps, I want to ask if there is a reliable tool on plesk that I can activate to block spam (on some accounts, often arrive dozens of spam e-mails every day). In the past, i tried to active some spam filters, but they also deleted legitimate e-mails, so i had to deactivate them. I see that there is spamassassins but i remember that it wasn't very reliable when i activated it some years ago...and so i deactivated it. then i see there is in the general email server settings, the dnsbl filter. is it reliable? What lists do you suggest?

Another question: when a hacker obtain e-mail account password of my clients (for example using phishing methods or using the classical trojan horse), usually they immediately use the password to send thousands of e-mails using my server, freezing it and making big problems.

Is there a method to avoid this problem? Or a method to receive an alert when unusual e-mail outgoing traffic is happening?

Thank you!
