• 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.

Input SMTP auth without physical mailbox

Pandur2000

Basic Pleskian
Cannot authenticate via SMTP for mail-users with mailbox OFF and forwarding ON.
It's not exactly an issue but highly odd behaviour.

- Add a mail user = mail address
- Set a password and a forward to: mail address in the process
- User cannot send mails
- Mailbox has to be activated for the user to be able to send mails with his address

Either adjust the mail setup page (it confuses people as they think their mail address doesn't work) or add a check box "can send mails through this server".
