  • 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.

Question Secure mail part of domain with Lets Encrypt

psxeu

Basic Pleskian
Hi

I was wondering - If I want to secure mail.mydomain.com with Let's encrypt - is that possible or?

How do people generally set it up - if they want to access mail.xxxx.com from a mail client using tls/ssl?
 
There is currently no nice way to do that and while some workarounds* should be possible, they are limited in their use.
So in general you're best of using "your.plesk-server.name" as mailserver for your customers and not mail.domain.tld

* such a workaround would be to create a normal domain, name it "mail.xxxx.com" and use LetsEncrypt on that. (dns and mail service should be disabled for that)
For every further domain on your server, you can then add "mail.xxxx.com" as an alias domain and make sure it's also covered by the LetsEncrypt Certificate.

Under "Tools & Settings" -> "SSL/TLS Certificates" -> "Certificate for securing mail" you then choose the "mail.xxxx.com"s domain LetsEncrypt certicate from the server pool
