• 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.

SPAM attack

If you have a SPAM attack being generated from your server then surely the best thing to do is look at the cause of the generated emails and fix the issue rather than trying to limit how many can be sent? Do you know how the emails are being generated from your server? Had a mate the other day where SPAM being sent through his server was being authenticated. All I could think was that the username and password for the account had been compromised so changing the password for that account stopped the mail. Other routes for SPAM are hacked sites with files placed on them that can be called remotely to generate mails from the box and also insecure contact forms etc so have a good look at the log files on your machine and work out how the SPAM is being generated. Fix the cause of the problem!
