• 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.

ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I added more restrictions in the postfix config but it didn't help much

YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM

Help with sorting out
 
Set the SPF checking mode to "Reject mail if SPF resolves to “softfail" if you want your server to reject incoming emails on which the SPF check softfails.
