• 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.

  • 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 Setting up SMTP

brownbag

Basic Pleskian
I'm changing my mail functionality to use phpmailer so that I can more easily use SMTP with my outgoing mail. I need to set up SMTP on my server to do so (and then in my script include smtp host, username and password). My currently installed mail server is postfix. I have got one email address hosted on the server.

Currently I only do two 'mail-related' things on my server:
1. I host one email address; and
2. I send mail from php scripts.

So I want to set up SMTP without impacting my current functionality.
Do I need to change my mail server to MSMTP or does Postfix include SMTP? If postfix does include SMTP, how can I get the details of this or configure it?

If I do change to MSMTP, it will uninstall postfix and Dovecot (as it depends on Postfix). If I do this, will I lose any functionality, or will it affect my mailbox.
