  • 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.

Webmail smtp ip-address?

xLnT

Basic Pleskian
Hi,
I have a Plesk 11.x server with a couple of domains hosted on Debian Linux.
We use Postfix as MTA and have a couple of external ip-addresses setup on the server, some are dedicated and some are shared.
We use a.b.c.2 as a dedicated ip-address for DNS (ns1.domain.tld) and a.b.c.3 for mail (smtp.domain.tld).

But when users send mail from the webmail they are sent from the shared ip-addresses. And since we have no PTR records setup the shared ip-addresses some mails get trapped in spamfilters.
Is it possible to make webmail only send mail from a.b.c.3 address?

I tired changing /etc/postfix/master.cf to only use that address but that didn't work, I ended up with not being able to send emails at all.
And i had to restore the mail functionality.

Kind Regards
Magnus
 
Yes, thats when i couldn't send any mails after i've changed that.
This is what i have atm.

cat /etc/postfix/master.cf | grep smtp_bind_address
a.b.c.3- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=a.b.c.3 -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4

a.b.c.8- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=a.b.c.8 -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4
a.b.c.7- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=a.b.c.7 -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4
a.b.c.12- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=a.b.c.12 -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4
a.b.c.2- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=a.b.c.2 -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4
a.b.c.4- unix - n n - - smtp -o smtp_bind_address=a.b.c.4 -o smtp_bind_address6= -o smtp_address_preference=ipv4

a, b and c has replaced the three real octets in the ip-addresses.
a.b.c.3 is what i would like to use as default ip-address for Postfix SMTP.
And as you can see we have native IPv6 enabled on the server, a:b:1002:3 should be default ipv6 address for postfix.

Kind Regards
Magnus
