Please provide an indication that my new installed Sophos extension is in use at the domain level
I cannot verify that the Sophos extension which I just purchased is activated indivdually for each of my mailboxes.
I received the following instructions from my host:
"Enable Sophos in Mail Server Settings
Navigate to Settings -> Mail Server Settings -> Antivirus -> Sophos to activate the feature.
Activate Sophos for Each Mailbox
Finally, Sophos must be activated individually for each mailbox to ensure coverage."However, Plesk shows I activated Sophos server wide, and the other shows no mention of Sophos under the…

Alarm, when some IP address is visiting too much

When another IP requesting too much pages in short time, an email should sent automatically.3 votesUnfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

remove checkbox for "Access to the Control Panel" if no permission to manage auxiliary user accounts
Our service plans are pretty locked down because our clients aren't very tech savvy. Having the ability to manage auxiliary user accounts is not something they need, and the option only confuses them. So our service plans have this disabled. Unfortunately, the option still exists when creating a new email address (or editing an existing address). This causes two problems: it creates confusion, and it creates a new user that they don't have permission to edit or delete.
The "Access to the Control Panel" checkbox and the "User role" drop-down should be removed from the mail settings (or at least…

Usability of the site should be improved
Sorry, it's less an idea than a complaint:
Simplify !
The current Plesk is so bad in usability that it is a reason not choose a hosting service. The learning curve for such a straight forward tool is way to high. I don't want to spend my time to learn a tool, but just do the job I am supposed to do.
So I suggest to get a usability expert with expert knowledge on webhosting to sort out the functions and their places where they are best to be located.
Example: Why would I search the webstatistics function inside the…2 votes“Security and Scripting” was renamed into “Hosting Settings” long ago, though you are probably not at the latest version.

Smartermail posting option
We are using Plesk with remote smartermail server. When creating a mailing list in Plesk, only the Moderator can send "Post" to that mailing list by default. We manually have to go into smartermail as domain admin and change the the Posting to "Anyone" which should be the default settings. See for details https://help.smartertools.com/SmarterMail/v2/Default.aspx?qq=%2FSmarterMail%2Fv2%2FTopics%2FDomainAdmin%2FLists%2FGeneralSettings.aspx
We would like to have this option available in Plesk.2 votesThis feature request is mainly about a default configuration request of Smartermail, an external component. It also did not gain popularity during the past years. And as mentioned in the comments, Smartermail has already improved their product to include more options in the settings. For these reasons we must decline the request.

Mail enhancements
A few things would be extremely helpful with mail. First of all, we use plesk heavily for mail (5k+ accounts per panel) we really need the following features:
Ability to export and import lists.
Currently, you can make an email address but cannot put the users first name and last name, so when the log into round cube, they must enter this information themselves.
Force password changes every so often. 30 days, etc. this would need to be integrated into round cube since our users do not work inside the panel at all.
Ability to see what mail accounts haven't…

Mass PHP Version Change tool
Some of our Plesk servers (both windows and linux) have some domains that are still using PHP 5.2
Hosting Plan settings now are set to either 5.6 or 7 which sets up new domains on new PHP versions.
We now want to remove all older PHP versions.
I would like a tool in Plesk settings for admins to find domains by PHP version
ie show all domains using PHP 5.2
then i can select one/multiple/all and change to ie PHP 5.6 or 7our plans is to to something similar to above then uninstall old PHP versions.
1 voteThere is a trick:
1) Remove php packages which you don’t want to use
2) run `plesk repair web` – it will find ‘orphaned’ domains which uses removed PHP version and `repair` utility asks you to switch all of them to one of installed PHP versions.— SU

Setting for use "always latest php version"
I would like to see an additional option in the dropdown for choosing the PHP version for the plan and/or domain where I can set "Use always latest version".
When introducing a new version like php 7.1 every user who wants to use it has to login and switch his version which is fine in general but some customer which are early adopters wanted to use the newest stuff automatically on their test-domains as example.
As an admin/webhoster such a setting would be nice when creating a plan. With that setting I do not have to edit each plan and…

Customers and Resellers Expiration date
When I create a domain , I can set the expiration date by subscription.
But how to set the expiration date by customer or reseller?
If a reseller over his expiration date , how do I automatically suspend his account at date?3 votesSorry, this request exists for 2 years and got no supporters. Apparently everyone with the same need would use specialized billing software like WHMCs (for example) with Plesk and manage expiration from there

Ability to set default values as part of a set (template for new Wordpress sites created through WP Toolkit)

Enable setting the default (and a custom) max-age value for HSTS in the SSL-IT! plugin
The Dutch web application guidelines (https://www.ncsc.nl/documenten/publicaties/2019/mei/01/ict-beveiligingsrichtlijnen-voor-webapplicaties) prescribe a minimun max-age of one year (max-age=31536000). The default in the SSL-IT! plugin is 6 months. There is no option for one year, but there is an option for two years.
I would like to be able to set the default value and add custom values to choose from. I would also very much appreciate to be able to set those through the CLI.
