Thank you for your input! We will consider functionality to implement ability to set TLS as required for email connections in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Please note that STARTSSL is a service of StartCom and there are issues with them to stay in CA role http://www.pcworld.com/article/3129725/certificate-policy-violations-force-reform-at-startcom-and-wosign.html so STARTSSL support will not be implemented in Plesk.

However, in part of integration with 3rd party, probably it will be faster if you create Plesk extension. Please refer to https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/17.0/extensions-guide/what-are-plesk-extensions%3F.76331/ to know how.

Allow using a centralized SmarterMail Server for BOTH LINUX and WINDOWS Plesk installations
The implementation of the centralized smartermail in plesk onyx for windows is good, but it should also be possible to integrate this feature into the linux edition.
Many hosters provide both windows and linux hosting with ONE centralised mail solution. Since the integration for winodws is already done I suppose it shouldn't be too hard to integrate it into the linux version as well since smartermail is completely API based.

sort, archive or filter (not spam) email on server directly when received
I'm using different (imap) clients on different devices to read emails. Many of them can be sorted / filtered / archived in specific subfolders by subject, sender or similar.
Most - but not all - clients can be configured to do so - but this means also to reconfigure several clients on rule changes.So i'd like to suggest the possibility to handle emails on receiving on the server.
E.g:
- if sender ends with "domain.foo" or subject contains "project bar" then move to folder bar and mark as read
- if sender is "foo@domain.bar" forward to "…6 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Different notification settings for available WordPress updates: Plugin, Theme or WordPress core
Email notifications to customers are sent on every available WordPress update, that's far too much. My clients don't take them for important anymore and don't update at all. I suggest to fine tune available settings in Tools & Settings > Notifications > APS application updates (customer’s digest): Different notification options if the available update is a WordPress Core update, a plugin update or a theme update. So for example the plugin and theme update notification could be turned off for customers, but WordPress core update notifications would be still sent.
Another suggestion would be an option to cutomize the FREQUENZY…

Add XML API operations to manage Backup Password and Scheduled Backup
Some useful functionalities of Backup in Web UI are not available in the XML API. Like configuring Password or Scheduled Backup. Those operations are at server level.
I think it would be useful to add the 4 following operations :
backup-manager / set-secure-backup-settings
backup-manager / get-secure-backup-settingsWith attributes like :
- use-password-protection : boolean
- password : stringbackup-manager / set-schedule-settings
backup-manager / get-schedule-settingsWith attributes like :
- enable : boolean
- period : 86400 | 604800 |2592000
- hour : integer from 0 to 23
- minute : 0 | 15 | 30 |45
- use-incremental : boolean…24 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

Secure default HTTPS settings
Set the default settings so that websites (e.g. Wordpress) created in Plesk have a good score in online scanners (are secure).
One very good scanner is https://observatory.mozilla.org/
This includes some headers to be sent, and secure TLS settings.
Mozilla also offers a guide concerning web server settings: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Server_Side_TLSThe remaining things should be set in Wordpress directly directly by Plesk.

Upgrade PostgreSQL
PostageSQL provides some powerful function to process non-relational data (eg: "jsonb") after version 9.4.
Would you please upgrade that?
Thanks.5 votesIf you mean PostgreSQL, we support 9.4 version in the current 12.5 version – https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/12.5/software-requirements/#s4-2-1 and upcoming Plesk Onyx – https://docs.plesk.com/release-notes/17.0/software-requirements/#s4-2-1
We will officially support next versions if many people will support your request. But I think that you can try to use 9.5 version right now. It should work, but we have not tested it yet.

Add an option to lock/freeze a website
Hi,
some Hosts (e.g. Strato) use a functionality to completely lock a site. This is very useful for customers that dont want to do any changes to their website anymore but use an old version of a cms and forget/dont want to upgrade.
Of course there should be a warning about the consequences like non working file caching etc.

Block users from re-using old password, especially for mailboxes
System could remember a certain number of old passwords (admin configurable) and prevent user from selecting these again.
Have had more cases than I'd like to admit where customer re-used a previously compromised password. If Plesk remembered the last x passwords used by that account it would help.
Also adding ability so Plesk checks a server configurable password blacklist before accepting customers new selection would be appreciated.
