  1. Create only mail accounts when mail is actually enabled, instead of on domain creation

    As soon as any account is created in Plesk, a mail account is setup in Smartermail, used for managing the mail domain. This is one of the few minor issues for those using Plesk in a load balanced solution (which is actually remarkably possible!). It is also tricky for those running a limited smartermail license (e.g. 250 accounts, many of which are now unwanted Plesk management accounts).

    It should not be so difficult to setup the mail account only when mail is enabled on a domain, and have Plesk just leave the mail server alone for domains that do not…

  2. Import emails in batches

    There is a Mail Importing feature in Site Import extension, but it is possible only to migrate emails one by one. It would be great if there is an ability to migrate a couple of mailboxes at once.

  3. Smarthost per domain configuration & enablement

    At the moment, it is possible to configure Smarthost in Plesk on a server level and enable it for all domains at once.

    However, there can be cases where I need to enable configured Smarthost for some specific domains only, with all the other emails flow via the default mail system.

    Another example is that when I, as an admin, configured Smarthost on a server level and want to provide my customers & resellers with an ability to enable this Smarthost ad hoc.

  6. SpamAssassin check should always happen before forwarding

    According to https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000786914-How-to-enable-SpamAssassin-spam-check-for-forwarded-emails-on-Windows when the option "Apply individual settings to spam filtering" is enabled, filtering of forwarded emails is not performed and additional steps are required.

    Please, make it so that no additional steps would be required.

  7. DKIM - needed to import own keys

    DKIM - needed to import own keys

    It is not fair solution that Plesk generate a private key, and i cannot extract and date them in a seperate Backup

    One good reason why it is important to use own DKIM key is that for sending mail from different servers that service the same domain (e.g. during a migration) the key on the target needs to be the same as on the source. 

    We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it will be popular.

    Everyone, please continue voting for this feature if you consider it important.

  8. 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.

  10. Increase the logs available in MailEnable after log rotation

    When installing Plesk with MailEnable, by default Plesk removes MailEnable logfiles every 24 hours.

    According to this KB (https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001102353), this functionality is made in purpose to optimize mail statistics, but this is not acceptable.

    Additionally, you are offering the possibility to apply this workaround (https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213397889), but this workaround is not valid for us because we don't want to customize the FTP and HTTP logs location and we have the log files in different disk volumes.

    Please, provide the possibility to configure the log rotation settings for MailEnable respecting our hosting company needs.

  11. Add DKIM-key in php mail() function

    When DKIM is activated, the key isn't added when you use the PHP mail() function, for example if you have a contact form on the website. Please add because this generates false SPAM-detection problems. Google for example thinks it's strange that sometimes the DKIM key is added and sometimes not. Please keep in mind that this should work with an external DNS-service too.

  12. Dovecot: mdbox and alternate storage support

    http://forum.odin.com/threads/dovecot-mdbox-and-altmove-support-in-plesk.334620/

    It would be really handy if we could, via Plesk panel or some cli utility, o switch from Maildir to mdbox as mailbox storage format and enable alternate storage for old emails. This way we can optimize the disk usage by using the fast storage media for recent emails, while the old stuff can go on a slower, cheaper media. Will also help a lot in growing our mail customer base without forking out ridiculous amounts of money for expensive fast disks arrays to keep up with the growth rate.

  15. UI for configure outgoing Mail Server by Domain

    Add Plesk Panel UI for configure outgoing Mail Server.

    ""In Plesk for Linux with the Postfix mail server, you can change the IP address used for sending mail. Also, if your server sends mail from domain IP addresses, you can specify which name will be used as a host name in SMTP greetings.""

    So a UI where the Admin of Plesk Server can, change the settings for outgoing Mails.
    Send from domain IP addresses and use domain names in SMTP settings.

  19. Secure Plesk mail servers with Modern authentication

    Microsoft is retiring Basic Authentication soon, which means servers that do not use Modern Authentication (OAuth, 2FA, MFA, etc.) will not be able to use its mail client Outlook.

    I suggest you add an option to secure Plesk's mail servers with Modern Authentication, for example by integrating it with third party apps such as Google Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Duo, Okta, etc..

  20. Remove digest-md5 from dovecot and postfix configs

    Seeing as the current implementation does not work with Outlook (and a lot of people use Outlook), it would make sense to remove the digest-md5 option from dovecot and postfix configs. These options keep coming back on a Plesk update so it would better to just remove them completely.
