Smarthost/External SMTP
It would be nice to have an external SMTP (smarthost) ability for a per-domain basis (most mail services have this)
We use this for external scanning, data leak prevention and more.
Can this be be done?

Hi everyone,
I am glad to inform you that starting from Plesk Obsidian 18.0.64, it is now possible to configure Smarthost/relayhost on a server level in Tools & Settings > Smarthost.
However, while most of the feedback we received indicates that the current solution is good enough in resolving the pain point, there are some of our users who would like to be able to enable Smarthost on a per domain basis.
While providing an ability to configure multiple similar Smarthosts for different domains might be complicated, considering the technical stack we are working with (Windows & Linux, Postfix & MailEnable & SmarterMail), we can provide an ability to configure one Smarthost as a Plesk admin and give the possibility to enable this specific Smarthost for particular domains without enabling it serverwide.
In order to gather the feedback & votes specifically from the people who needs this exact functionality, I created the new UserVoice request.
In case you are interested in such functionality, please vote here.
Thank you!

Definitely a +1 for this.
Being able to relay to an external SMTP is needed for users who provide hosting services on platforms like Digital Ocean. DO only support one rDNS record so in a shared hosting environment where many domains share a single IP, some mail providers flag email send from the domains as spam because the domain name lookup does not match the reverse lookup for the IP. As such, it's essential to be able to route through a 3rd-party (like Amazon SES, SendGrid, Mailgun, etc.).

# in the backend: option to set at least one smarthost, ideally more, for failover, and perhaps with hourly, minute, daily limits
# in user frontend: option (enforcable) for each user to set their smarthost(s), also with limits per hour/minute/day
# option to disable all email for clients except forwarders, which should be confirmed by link click
# all of the above will help reduce spam and help to derisk server mgmt since IPs are far less in danger
# please implement yesterday ;) -

Having just set up a new server with Plesk I am impressed (compared to the version I used 10 years ago) - almost everything can be done easier and quicker than doing it manually in Remote Desktop. However there are 5 or 6 things we had to change, it would be good if these could be done in Plesk (with an information button next to each feature to explain it). I appreciate that Plesk is a balance between an easy interface for non-technical people and also used for the technical parts - there are a number of areas (including this) where it would be good to have basic options immediately visible, and an expand to show the more complicated settings with explanations. We also had problems when updating MailEnable because we couldn't do this through the Plesk interface

This has been on here since 2014. By the time this gets implemented traditional email may be obsolete.

This is without a doubt the most important mail-related feature to implement in Plesk.

we need postfix relayhost to AWS SES since ec2's smtp port is blocked (or restricted)

Plesk should definitely add the possibility to use an external SMTP Server / Relay.
