• 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.

Smartermail mailboxes/aliasses

While working on an updated Plesk 10 set, I noticed some strange behavior of Plesk in combination with Smartermail:
It seems that Plesk can make user accounts with email addresses, that creates mailboxes in SM.

When I create a 'mailaddress' it also creates a mailbox in SM. Adding a forwarder to the email address creates a dummy alias account that forwards to the forwarding email address I entered before. I guess this is to get around the single email address forwarding of SM.

I assumed that creating an email address would be similar to creating an alias in SM but Plesk also creates a full email/userbox in SM.
Meaning every alias counts towards my license limit.
I see no option to create only a forwarding address.

Did I miss something?
Any reason why a full userbox needs to be created for a single alias address?
