block bad bots by default
There are many bots that can actually DoS a server using Plesk. Since there's no way to limit their connections they can overload a server really easily. Currently the only way to block them is by reading the logs and implementing blocks in nginx or .htaccess rules.
It would be great if there could be some security by default. The community has created very comprehensive lists that could be used and auto updated / maintained by cron jobs.
Here's an example for Apache

And here's for Nginx

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.

NodeJS Allow more environment variables
When setting environment on a NodeJS App (using NodeJS extension) I am getting to the limit of four variables, sometimes five.
I assume that line ending is reached or something. I am connecting to several mongodb databases and for each db I need to auth which is set within an environment variable.
This limits my app a lot since I need to build overcomplicated workarounds using files to be loaded async and their content to be validated, then connecting to the db and so on.

did not get any alarm mail, if the server is down...
There should be a Alarm mail or notification option, when the server is down. We are on dedicated Windows Hosting plan, rather this the best plan Hostgator offered.

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.

Multi-Server Plesk for Windows
I See Plesk multi-server is now available for Linux
it too would be good if this was also extended to windows.
The setup should work similar to Helm / MSPControl Panel where we can have
1 CP Server maybe shared with other services such as DNS1
multiple web servers that can just be IIS services only
Multiple database servers
Multiple Mail Servers15 votesThe development of the Multi-Server extension has been discontinued in 2020. Instead Plesk offers a much better solution with "Plesk 360" https://platform360.io
For that reason we must decline this request.

Activation of backup for mailman and mail boxes separately
Currently you can only activate email backup in general.
The differentiation between mail boxes and mailman is not possible.
In my use case I only need a backup of the imap boxes and mailman increases the size of my backup very much1 voteYou can use “Exclude specific files from the backup” option with specified path to mailman directory. Something like /path_to_mailman/*

add procmail support
procmail is a very flexible mail filter and processing tool and it is a shame that it is not integrated within plesk.
I need it to do some mail autoprocessing depending on subject and sender.
I am surprised that even with plesk 17 it is not already available.7 votesThere were some solutions for Qmail MTA in Plesk – https://talk.plesk.com/threads/how-to-setup-a-procmailrc-correctly.103810
In latest Plesk versions you can use modern Sieve mail filtering instead of outdated procmail. As you can see procmail support is not so popular feature here for many years, but if you request will be quite popular we will consider implementing this feature.

Customizable Plesk notification email address
Plesk has the ability to send notifications. However, with the latest version (v18.0.32) these are sent to my "External email address" of the admin user. But since I as admin user enter my Apple iCloud email "name@icloud.com" there, it is used as both sender and recipient and all notification emails end up in the spam folder of my iCloud mail.
It would be really great if you could separate the administrator email from the notification email address and change it specifically so that email notifications are sent from "Plesk@domain.tld…28 votesWe regret to inform you that we are closing the request as no feedback was provided for almost a year.

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.

Add global setting for automatic mail.domain.tld certificate assignment
I'd like to propose a straightforward solution that has proven effective in the industry.
Introduce a global setting in Plesk:
[ ] Use mail.domain.tld subdomains for all mail certificates
ⓘ This setting will automatically assign mail certificates through mail.domain.tld subdomains for all subscriptions.Benefits of this approach:
- Provides a consistent, automated way to handle mail certificates.
- Solves the automatic renewal issue without requiring manual intervention.
- Simplifies subscription migration between Plesk servers. Customers won't need to adjust settings, reducing frustration for both clients and administrators.
- Adapts to current market trends, where clients often host their websites externally (e.g., on…

not changing event_id for event_handler
Hi
We built some scripts to add some new events by CLI (due it is not possible by XML- API) to our over 70 Plesk installations. We detected, that in several Plesk installations (even with the same Plesk- Version number), the IDs of the events (plesk bin event_handler --list-events) changes. So we can't use a script. We always have to check and fix the "Event" manually. it would be helpfull to use static ids (even for different versions of plesk) or a speaking id (exp. "reseller-limit-changed", "susbscripion-limit-changed")...

No Auto-Reply if part of a forwarding list
We have an email adress (info@…). All mails to "info" are forwarded to 4 individual persons.
If a person is away and activates an auto-replay, everyone gets this auto-replay. It would be nice, if one can supress the auto-replay in such cases.
Example:
Mr. Smith is out of office for 2 weeks. He has an auto-reply "Please contact info@…". This message will also be sent to every person who sends a mail to "info@…".
(Our workaround: removing smith from the list and add him after switching off the auto-reply. But in this time he misses all mails.)10 votesThank you for your input!
