  • 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.

Resolved Plesk Obsidian - how to switch notifications back to plain text

gregconway

Basic Pleskian
Hi,

With the recent upgrade to Obsidian it seems all notifications are html not plain text.

Is there any way to switch them back to plain text?

Thanks!

Greg.
 
Hi Greg!

This option can be disabled in panel.ini:

[notification]
htmlEmail = off


Could you please elaborate on your scenarios, why would you prefer to keep plain text messages?

Thank you!

Hi Alex,

Many thanks for your response!

I found a sample file here -

/usr/local/psa/admin/conf/panel.ini.sample

So I assume I just copy this to panel.ini in the same location, add the notifications section and restart psa?
That's what I've done anyway.... now waiting for the next notification to arrive to see if it worked! :)

To explain why I need this - Emails from our plesk servers feed directly into our custom task management system, so as things stand I can't read the message from there as it's hidden within a stack of html formatting. I have to go hunting for the original email to see what it actually says.

Anyway hopefully that will solve my issue. I will update as soon as I know either way!

Thanks,

Greg.
 
Sure, no problem!

Actually, should work even without a restart. Here's a guide on using panel.ini, just in case: Panel.ini Configuration File.

Thanks for describing the scenario, I did think it was due to some automation processes. I hope this works well for you. By the way, we will continue improving on the notifications, so if you have any other notification-related questions or suggestions or requests, do not hesitate to let us know here or on our UserVoice page.

Cheers!

Alex
