  • 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.

Using Plesk DNS is impossible to configure G Suite

PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE

CentOS Linux 7.8.2003 (Core)
Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.29 Update #2, last updated on Aug 26, 2020 11:10 PM

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

Lately more and more clients using Google's G Suite require the following DNS MX record published in their zone, otherwise the G Suite setup can't proceed:
domain.com.au. 3600 IN MX 1 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.

Note the MX priority value, it *MUST* be 1 for the G Suite setup. I can't see why the Plesk Panel offers a restricted set of MX priority values, while at the same time the cli tool allows it no problem. The manual fix for this request is to run this on the affected Plesk server:

plesk bin dns -a domain.com.au -mx '' -mailexchanger ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM -priority 1

We've already had several customers who took their DNS somewhere else because they couldn't manage it themselves and it cost them money to delay the G Suite setup.
This is a major bug by omission, the lacking interface is increasingly causing financial losses and we can't afford to lose more customers..

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Try to add from the Plesk panel an MX record with priority 1. Doesn't work, but works fine in CLI. Unacceptable in this day and age.

ACTUAL RESULT

The customer isn't able to use the Plesk panel DNS management page to complete the G Suite setup.

EXPECTED RESULT

The customer should be able to use the Plesk panel DNS management page to complete the G Suite setup.
