  1. Add Exchange Server 2013 Integration

    I would love to use exchange server 2013 while using plesk panel. Exchange server is by far the most superior email server for windows and would be a great addition to plesk panel.

    I believe that there is also an open API or an easy way to send commands which would make it a lot easier to integrate with.

  2. Default SPAM / VIRUS protection for newly created mailboxes

    I suggest you add a feature in Settings with which we can enable SPAM / VIRUS protection for newly created mailboxes by default.

  4. Add two score thresholds to spamassassin

    If the spam score is above the first threshhold, flag the message as spam or deliver it to Spam folder;

    Reject it immediately (preferably during the SMTP session) or just discard if the score is above the second, higher threshold.

    This way the customer would have more control over the anti-spam system, allowing much less true spam mail to enter the mailbox.

  5. Multiple DNS Templates

    Having multiple DNS Templates, ideally selectable in a Service Plan, would add a great deal of flexibility in Plesk. For example, we have one type of Subscription that involves external store-and-forward mail servers for email backup. When a customer selects this type of Service Plan we have to manually adjust the DNS records to point to the appropriate mailservers. So it would be great if we could define multiple DNS Templates, then select the appropriate template in the appropriate Service Plan.

  6. Add Aliases for Subdomains

    You are currently not able to Alias a subdomain through plesk. Instead you must create the subdomain as a primary if you wish to alias it. In many situations it would make sense from an organizational standpoint to keep the subdomain under a main domain while still adding aliases to it. I do not believe this is a technical restriction of the webservers so it would be helpful if plesk allowed you to add aliases to subdomains.

  7. Enable chrooted sftp for more than one user per account

    If I use FTP, I can make as many users as I want. For various reasons, using FTP is not optimal at my workplace. I'd like to be able to let each ftp user I create log in with chrooted sftp.

    I'm able to modify /etc/passwd and /var/www/vhosts/example.org/etc/passwd to make it work, but doing that manually kind of defeats the point of using a tool like Plesk...

    Specifically, I give the ftp user the same home directory, and shell as the initial sftp user has in each passwd file.

    This is a valid request, so we’ll look into it. There is no ETA at the moment, but we would really appreciate you voting for this request so that we can accurately assess its popularity relative to other features.

    The original request contains a manual solution, so, we consider to automate it. Please, add a comment if your case will not be solved with that solution.

    Thanks in advance!

  8. Plesk SpamAssassin configuration options

    It would be much better if server-wide and per-mailbox options were available in Plesk to add SpamAssassin rules.

    SpamAssassin can be configured by the command line, but this is difficult for many of us.

  10. provide a way to see why a subscription is locked

    Many times I find that some subscriptions won't sync because they are locked. I'd really like to know why they are locked. So far, I've been able to unlock & sync with no noticeable changes. But I'm left wondering what caused the lock in the first place. And I'm afraid that I'll realize later something no longer works as expected.

  12. download subscriptions, customers, domains, email to csv (excel)

    On any given Plesk screen where there is a list of items like domains or email addresses add a Download as CSV button. This makes comparing items for discrepancy easier. I have seen several Cpanel versions that have this ability.

  13. Let Plesk use certificates configured on a domain

    Currently users are able to configure SSL certificates on their domain, and when using SNI this works like a charm. However, these certifcates are not used for the Plesk interface.

    It would be great that when a user adds a certificate for https://www.example.com/ it would also add these certificates (using SNI) to the Plesk server, so that https://www.example.com:8443/ would result in having a valid certificate.

    Currently website certificates are not propagated to the Plesk interface.

  14. Add limits to backup scheduling

    We have some users abusing the Plesk backup functionality. For example, they schedule hourly backups with sites that are multiple gigabytes in size. When we have a couple of those users, our servers are running scheduled backups all day causing 100% IO-wait load.

    It would be great if Administrator can limit the frequency of user backups, eg. a limit of once a day, once a week, once a month.

    We currently disable user backup functionality to prevent our machines running backups all day.

  16. bring back "modify multiple mailbox settings"

    as per:
    http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?290993-missing-feature-change-multiple-email-settings

    In 9.5.4 it was possible to select multiple mailboxes and change their settings simultaneusly.
    This is now suposed to be done through subscription plans, but there are certain settings not contemplated.

    For example, in a 300+ mailboxes domain I want to change each mailbox antispam setting to "move spam to spam folder" and this is not possible though the panel and I need to make a script to do it through shell.

    I would like this feature to come back, like it was in 9.5.4

  17. add the possibility to write a description to an IP

    It could be a good idea that I can write a note to each IP pointing to my server in Config > IP Addresses.

    I have some IPs used for SSL certificates, for example. I'd like to write a note to these IPs like "used for domain SSL certificate"

  18. subscription wide mailbox size

    For example(now) a subscription has:
    - 10 Mailboxes
    - Maximum mailbox size of 100MB
    So the maximum disk usage would be 1GB. but there are 2 LIMITATIONS here. first the client can't make more then 10 mailboxes.
    Second the maximum size of an mailbox is 100MB. You can make them smaller but that is useless.

    a subscription wide mailbox size can remove these restrictions and so greatly increase the flexibility for the client. For example the subscription wide mailbox size of 1GB and maximum of 5(or unlimited) mailboxes.

    the client wants:
    info@domain.tld: 600MB(is logic since an info@domain is much…
