• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service. If you'd like to be part of the discovery process and share your experiences, we invite you to complete this short screening survey. If your responses match the persona we are looking for, you'll receive a link to schedule a call at your convenience. We look forward to hearing from you!
  • 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.

Input Mail-Headers?

Just follow that recipe!
I don't agree that such info is sensitive, but hey, everyone has their right for paranoia.

There's no way (AFAIK) to prevent Plesk from rewriting main.cf and master.cf, but it doesn't do it as often as it did in the past.

I have a monitoring system that will alert me that this file has changed.
I have a cronjob that will save the complete /etc/postfix in a compressed tar-file if it ever changes.
It has the advantage that you will find out if Plesk has been improved or that it just killed your custom setup.

cat /etc/cron.hourly/taretcs
Code:
#!/bin/bash

tarfolder /etc/postfix
tarfolder /etc/courier-imap
tarfolder /etc/dovecot

cat /usr/local/sbin/tarfolder
Code:
#!/bin/bash
