• Our team is looking to connect with folks who use email services provided by Plesk, or a premium service.

  • 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.

Plesk 11 auth-smtp with PostFix / mac works, pc doesn't

rgfincher

New Pleskian
Have upgraded Plesk 9.5.4 to 11.0.4 and found that my PostFix no longer recognises the auth-SMTP usernames/passwords for any accounts, when Microsoft email clients are used. However, it works fine when Apple Mac and iOS clients are used.

Suspect one or more types of password encryption which used to be enabled, are now disabled.
Am fairly new to PostFix (although not to Plesk)

Any ideas?

More information

This problem seems limited to connections on port 587 (submission port) which our customers mostly use, due to British providers of DSL blocking port 25 to third party servers.
 
ATT and 587

ATT (midwestern US) DSL also blocks port 25, I've found that when port 587 is open, the STARTTLS and not SSL seems to work.
