• 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.

postfix sender_bcc

Hello!

Given the following configuration within plesk 12.0.18 (centos7):

/etc/postfix/sender_bcc
# contents
a@same.com backup_a@same.com
b@same.com backup_b@same.com
c@same.com backup_c@same.com

/etc/postfix/main.cf
# at the end of the file
sender_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_bcc

# run after set-up
postmap /etc/postfix/sender_bcc
postfix reload

# confirm creation of
/etc/postfix/sender_bcc.db

Questions:

1. Will emails sent from a@same.com to b@same.com be blind copied to backup_a@same.com?

2. Or will only emails sent from a@same.com to b@different.com be blind copied to backup_a@same.com?

3. I have forwarding set up in plesk using the same logic. Will forwarding in plesk conflict with the sender_bcc configuration? Should I set up both sender_bcc and recipient_bcc in postfix and switch off forwarding in plesk?

3.a. Do the same rules apply to incoming / recipient_bcc and sender_bcc (as in 1. and 2.)?

4. What happens to this configuration when plesk updates?

5. If plesk updates break it, is there a way to make this configuration "permanent"?

Thanks for any guidance!

It works. I will edit the OP (in the body of this post) to clarify:

Plesk version 12.5.30 / CentOS 7

All actions performed as root:

1. nano /etc/postfix/main.cf
# sender_bcc
sender_bcc_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_bcc

2. nano /etc/postfix/sender_bcc
a@same.com backup_a@same.com

3. postmap /etc/postfix/sender_bcc

4. Restart postfix as root <---- or reload (need to clarify - both seem to work)
postfix restart

The only unanswered question (thus far) involves what happens to the sender_bcc configuration in the face of plesk updates or upgrades....

I have kept (recipient) forwarding within plesk "ticked" (and functional).

More, anon!
