  • 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.

How do I force TLS/SSL for SMTP authenication?

Hi,

I'm finishing up the installation of our Plesk 10.2 Ubuntu 10.04 machine. One of the things I want to do, is disable all unencrypted authentication. I've succeeded for everything except SMTP (Qmail).

Obviously, I can't close port 25 and force use of port 465, because then mail delivery will break.

I've tried all sorts of environment variables I could find in /etc/xinitd.d/smtp_psa, but nothing works.

Postfix has a smtpd_tls_auth_only option, but I can't seem to find it for Qmail, nor where to set it in the plesk-installed version.

Any help is welcome.
 
I found out I could just run /opt/psa/admin/bin/autoinstaller and replace Qmail with Postfix. With postfix, I enabled smtpd_tls_auth_only and it's done.
