  1. Erlang/Elixir support via CGI

    Currently I can't find a way to serve Erlang/Elixir applications using a limited Plesk account. Nginx and apache fully support this via CGI.

  2. Add incremental backups for Plesk extensions

    Currently, Plesk backup manager creates incremental parts only for the web and mail content. And Plesk extensions backup always contain full data even if there were no changes. It is required to add incremental backups for Plesk extensions

  3. Enable the mailbox size calculation for remote SmarterMail servers

    At the moment, only local mailboxes are included in the subscription's Disk Usage limit, according to the documentation page regarding Disk Space Usage Calculation :

    https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/administrator-guide/statistics-and-monitoring/viewing-statistics/about-disk-space-usage-calculation.71164/

    Please provide a way to calculate the mailbox sizes for remote SmarterMail servers as well, so that they are included into the Disk Usage resource.

  4. Restore Keywords in autoresponders

    Previously I could specify a keyword in the incoming mail that triggered the Autoresponders. That keyword was setup in a formmail so that spammers didn't get the reply (and I didn't receive all the bounces for spam senders)

    Thank you very much for the usecase explained. Unfortunately this usecase is very rare and unique – we haven’t seen another request for it since 2010 when keywords were dropped.

    I can suggest to recode your web form to direct sending of mail (as in step #3). Alternatively you can wait for Plesk 12.0 which will have Dovecot support and sieve server-side rules, via which you can flexibly configure any desired behaviour. Roundcube webmail should have a plugin for managing them,

  5. Define maximum number of saved backups in Service Plan

    As an administrator you currently can define the maximum number of full backups to store. This maximum number applies to all backups, stored locally or remote.

    This is a feature request for:a) defining a separate maximum for locally stored backups and a separate maximum for remotely stored backups. b) as well defining those maximum numbers in service plans.

    The option to define the maximum number of stored backups in a service plan would allow administrators to fulfill backup needs on a per customer basis. And even sell additional backups to customers who might have a need for much longer backup retention.

    Defining a separate maximum value for local and…

  6. Mail Autoresponder, receive only a single message during the specific date indicated in the "switch off auto-reply on"

    Add a new field/option that allow to send an automatic response to a unique email address no more than 1 time until the end of the indicated period in the "switch off auto-reply on" (and not for the single day as now).

    Feature useful when an "out of office" user receives different messages from the same person, without having to receive/send the same warning message everyday.

    For example: If John emails you during the date indicate in the "switch off auto-reply on", John will receive an "out of office" message only one time, no matter how many…

  7. To make it easier to configure DKIM, SPF, and DMARC Protection are automate the process

    The guidelines about how to enable DKIM, SPF, and DMARC Protection are difficult to read and understand how to implement. It would be easier to automate this process. Especially because those are very important for mail and web safety.

    When you add a domain in Plesk and Plesk is also the nameserver for your domain, DKIM, DMARC and SPF records are automatically added to the DNS configuration. If you do not have DKIM enabled by default but add it later, the record is added to DNS, too. There is no need for manual configuration when you use Plesk for DNS.

  8. Ability to track number of simultaneous connections to the MySQL

    Sometimes Plesk is not accessible with error:
    DB query failed: "SET sql_mode = ''" Error: SQLSTATE[08004] [1040] Too many connections

    It is possible to inrease the number of connections but it will also be good to have some monitoring of the current number of simultaneous connections to the MySQL, for example in Advanced Monitoring extension.

    It will help to prevent Plesk downtime and set the reasonabl limit for max_connections

  9. SPF options for customer domain

    Allow the customer to define his SPF settings for his domain using a interface like it exists for the admin onTools & Settings > Mail Server Settings (in the Mail group).

    Having it on Websites & Domains > Mail Settings it would be much easier to get customers configured it correctly instead of adding a TXT entry on the nameservers

  11. should realize the capability to print the configuration for documentation

    Sometimes it is necessary to have information about the configuration e.g. Accounts, mail-addresses etc. due to documentation purposes. Of course sometimes it necessary to delete all data of the server and reinstall it. Printouts for that would helpful.

  12. Make a default installation for open xchange usable in plesk

    Open xchange is a great alternative server to ms exchange.
    Implementing this into a plesk managed server is possible, plesk has a apk for ox. But a working ox installation is a must to get it working - and a default ox installation into a plesk managed server is not easy at all.
    So please integrate an option to install and configure ox like done by horde.
    OX is graet in working with iOS, ms outlook or any standard mail client, handling calendar and contacts too!

  17. Changing Mailbox Sizes Permission

    I'm looking to do what many other web hosts do which is to sell off mailbox space.

    I don't want to increase everyone's mailbox size yet, this seems to be the only way.

    There is a permission that I can remove from most people to stop them editing their mailbox size. But the Owner / Customer that I'm selling to will still have access to set their own limits (up to the max limit)

    I want to be able to offer mailboxes at 2gb, 5gb, 10gb etc. But not allow all of the customers …

  18. Allow hosting email directly on Google when using Google Workspace extension

    Currently, Plesk sets DNS records for mail to mail.<domain> pointing to the Plesk server and creates accounts in Google Workspace as well as accounts locally which are then relayed to Google Workspace, so emails go through the Plesk server and become unavailable if Plesk is down even though they are hosted on Google

    Please add possibility to set the mail records to point directly to Google

  19. Allow multi-thread options in Plesk Migrator to speed up huge migrations

    The Plesk Migrator tool is very limited when migrating a big amount of subscriptions, databases and mails.

    Checking the CPU usage when performing a migration, Plesk Migrator utilities are not reaching 20% of the CPU because this tool is not supporting multi-threading.

    Therefore, due to this limitation, a huge migration can take a few days or even more than a week to be completed.

    If Plesk Migrator would use the full capabilities of the hardware available in our servers, the migration can be faster and match our migration deadlines.

    It would be great that a few options…

  20. eventually fix the mailman bug which is there since plesk 8

    After every update to plesk I have to manually fix the mailman entry in /etc/postfix/master.cf
    It should read: mailman unix - n n - - pipe flags=Ru

    plesk updates change the flags=R which means that mailing lists are broken if they contain upper case characters.

    As far as I know problems in mixed cases in Plesk mail services have been fixed. Have you checked this issue in Plesk 12.5 Preview (http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/parallels-plesk-12.1-for-linux-change-log.html) ? If it is reproduced – please write step-by-step instruction how we can check it. Thanks.

    UPD: We are closing the request as completed, since no information to the contrary were provided for over a month.
