• 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.

Mail Queue shows Recipients as valid user id @ random domain

Basic Pleskian
I've been seeing something strange in my mail queue in the past week. The Recipient email address has a correct user ID but uses a random domain (unrelated to my hosting). These show as "undeliverable mail return to sender". Out of 84 emails in queue, about 60 are this type of thing:
==========
Received: by my-hosting.net (Postfix)
id F2334J76CE; Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:30:58 -0400 (EDT)
Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2014 16:30:58 -0400 (EDT)
From: MAILER-DAEMON@my-hosting.net (Mail Delivery System)
Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender
To: a-unique-user-id-in-plesk@comcastbusiness.net
Auto-Submitted: auto-replied
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/report; report-type=delivery-status;
boundary="A11ABC3452.1397161858/my-hosting.net"
Message-Id: <20140410202058.F2CABC76CE@my-hosting.net>
==========
Is this a hack attempt and if so, is there anything to be done about it?

Hello,

I can see you are getting the all these bounce back massages which was sent from your server. I will suggest you please monitor your server mail queue/logs and try to find out which user is sending these mails from your server.
