  • 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.

find spam relaying user?

Basic Pleskian
I facing a serious problem with my qmail and plesk 11.0.9.

I found the way spammer did with my server by listening everything on port 25.

Maybe he know the RCPT hosts of mine, and they send emails with random username but with domain hosted on my Plesk. (user1@mydomain.com, user2@mydomain.com, ... userxxx@mydomain.com).

qmail only check domain in RCPT if spammer input:

"mail from user1@mydomain.com" - (with out ":") - no email address on my server.
then server reply: 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.7.17)

But qmail check username and domain if spammer input:

""mail from: user1@mydomain.com" - (with ":") - no email address on my server.
then server reply: 250 OK


This is really weird! I tried with all my plesk server, this bug still effected.

Do you have any idea?

Thank You!
