  1. Track E-mail Sent from System more effectively

    Introduce a system to show outgoing mail from the system, outgoing mail queue for domains and e-mail headers sent by domains to make tracking spam and abuse of the system simpler.

    Having had a week of tracking down scripts attempting to send etc. Its proved hard to identify which domains within a subscription are offending and from which hosting package. Might be an idea possibly to track back to a script for a domain using the php mail() or by using sendmail features.

  2. Implement AppArmor support for Apache

    AppArmor provides much stronger security for web applications than what is currently available, especially since PHP open_basedir is both slow and known to be insecure.

    With AppArmor you don't need such settings, and it is possible to allow PHP functions such as exec() and system() - but only allow access to certain binaries. This provides a more flexible system for our customers, and we have more fine-grained control over what they can and cannot access.

    http://wiki.apparmor.net/index.php/Mod_apparmor_example

    Additional AppArmor profiles for services that come with Plesk might be useful too, but securing Apache is the main thing.

  4. Soft Suspend - Restrict Limited Service Access

    Right now plesk suspend feature disable all services including Web, SMTP, POP, IMAP but there should be an option where administrator have choice to define which services to suspend.

    The usual problem we experience is, when we suspend services the email services stops completely but we want the SMTP (specially inbound) should be enable so customer emails reach to server instead of bounce back but they cannot access their email through POP/IMAP services.

    Thank you

  5. email forwarding anti loop mechanism

    Today it seems Plesk is not able to manage a simple mail forwarder configuration like the following:

    pippo@domain.com (local address) forwarding to pluto@domain.com (local address)
    pluto@domain.com (local address) forwarding to pippo@domain.com (local address)

    This kind of configuration generates a mail-forwarding-loop, but it should be possible to avoid it and terminate the forwarding without issues.

    This kind of configuration is simple and immediately working on cPanel based systems (tested on several systems). in my specific case, I migrated from cPanel to Plesk a company mail server and now I'm experiencing big complaints because I'm not able to preserve this simple configuration…

  6. user-friendly interface

    Some processes last long and not always clear what is happening.
    1. Somewhere must be showing: that now makes the panel.
    2. View the progress of operations, for example: migration. Panel can showing progress. Let updated via ajax. The script is simple and takes less resources than reloading the page via button "Update".

  7. Change how SSL's are added to domains

    What is the point in being able to add SSL Certificates under Tools and Settings and then there is no crossover under the domain name to add the SSL to a domain hosted on the server?

    I.E I've added an SSL for a customer to the server under Tools and Settings only to go to the "secure sites" option under their hosting to find that the SSL doesn't appear there, and that I have to request it again!!

  9. smtp

    Dear all,

    I look for having forwarding email in plex with the ability for the mail user to send mail by SMTP. It seems not possible to have a SMTP access without creating a mailbox and then using space size even if all is forwarded directly.
    Could you please indicate me the way to solve this issue ?

    Thanks a lot advance.

  14. Integration with localwp

    Localwp (https://localwp.com/) is an amazing tool for WordPress development. It integrates with two hosts, FlyWheel and WPEngine, which works amazingly well as well. You can clone an environment from the host to your local environment and upload it back to your host in a matter of a few clicks.

    If there could be a Plesk integration as well, that would make the be great!!! ( https://localwp.com/host-interest/ )

    Cloning a website from a production server to a staging server and vice versa can be done with a few clicks in the WP Toolkit that comes with Plesk. It is already very easy to have a staging environment online in the same webspace account like the production website, yet in a separate domain or subdomain where all settings can be individually tested risk-free. This is technically much better than to have an installation locally, because it shares the same environment with the production website. There is no need for a third-party solution as WP Toolkit already has all that is needed. 

    However, we know that users like to stay with the software they are accustomed to. Plesk has a solution for it: If you prefer to have an interface from localwp to Plesk, please suggest to localwp developers to create an extension for Plesk using the free Plesk API.

  15. Make PHP-PM available for usage with Nginx and Apache

    Currently we have the choice of fastCGI with Apache or fastCGI or FPM with nginx when setting up a PHP site.

    These are great but a newer alternative is now out, PHP-PM, which could give a lot of sites a very nice performance boost.

    It would be great if we could get this added as an extra option on Plesk when setting up PHP sites.

  16. Add the option to forbid execution of files in Plesk for Windows

    In Plesk for Windows, add options to forbid executing .exe, .bat and other executable files in order to prevent starting of malicious scripts.
    It should be added to domain and server-wide levels.

  17. use nginx server as a proxy for mail service

    For example, as Postfix does not support SNI, such feature would be useful

  18. Plesk Multi Server: allows mailbox owners access to Plesk

    Plesk Multi Server should allows mailbox owners access to Plesk using credentials from their mailboxes so they can manage their Out-of-Office and reset their password. This feature is present in the standalone Plesk but needs to be ported over to Plesk Multi Server

    This feature request has not received a lot of votes. For that reason we suggest to ask Bacula if they would like to develop an extension for Plesk to integrate their offer with Plesk. There are many other backup or storage space vendor extensions already. Also check out the Plesk Backup to Cloud Pro package that expands the backup options to many commonly used platforms.

    Thank you for your feedback.  Unfortunately, this request contains several different suggestions, and  it’s not technically possible to properly handle them inside one  request. Please consider creating separate feature requests for each of  the items below:

    - PHP – compiled with maximum support for all extensions
    You can use PHP from original OS vendor repo.  Please create a new request and let us know why do you not use OS vendor  repo and what exactly extension do you need.

    - NGINX – compiled with maximum support for all extensions
    Each new module affects nginx. Could you explain what exactly nginx  module do you want? Please create a new request and let us know what  module do you need.

    - Apache – compiled with maximum support for all extensions
    Plesk doesn’t ship Apache, it only downloads it from original OS vendor repo.
