• 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.

PTR Record Subnet mask

GiorgosI

Basic Pleskian
The problem exists in all Plesk versions we have, which is Plesk8, Plesk9, Plesk10 (we haven't tested it in Plesk 10.4) for windows and for linux.

When we add an ipv4 PTR Record in a server, it allows to use a subnet mask from a drop down menu with values 8, 16, and 24. There is no value 32. So, if we select value 24 for PTR subnet, plesk creates zone:
xxx.xxx.xxx.in-addr.arpa
For example, if server's IP is 192.168.1.10 it creates zone:
1.168.192.in-addr.arpa
which is the C class 192.168.1.xxx

The problem that is caused is that if another server from the same C class, with IP 192.168.1.20 for example, sends an email to server 192.168.1.10, then server 192.168.1.10 looks in it's local 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa file (because it is supposed to be for the whole C class).
As you may assume, it does not find any PTR record for IP 192.168.1.20, so there are problems with receiving emails from servers in the same C class.

Is there any way to make plesk adding PTR with subnet 32 (in the above example, zone file should be 10.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa)?
