  • 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.

Question How to exclude certain files from Plesk updates (e.g. roundcube defaults file)?

Hi,

It seems like every time I upgrade Plesk my Roundcube webmail SMTP stops working and I get this error "SMTP Error (535): Authentication failed.". I then have to go into the "defaults.inc.php" file and change

Code:
$config['smtp_auth_type'] = 'PLAIN';

to show

Code:
$config['smtp_auth_type'] = ' ';

then it starts working again and I'm able to send emails through Roundcube webmail again. How can I exclude updates to Roundcube so this doesn't keep on happening with each Plesk update? Or is there a way in Plesk to set smtp_auth_type = ' ' this way it doesn't happen anymore?

Thank you!
