  1. Control on/off of auto-reply not only by date, but also by time

    We would appreciate it if the setting of the time were included in addition to the days for the «automatic replies» by e-mail. For part-time employees, this attitude would be a real asset.

  2. Increase mailbox size above the default size

    Default Mailbox size is for example 5 GB per Mailbox. But on one Box, the client need more space. So it would be great, if all accounts stay on the standard Size. All mail addresses keep the default size, but one can increase the storage space. Currently, only the reverse is possible, but this makes little sense, as I don't want to adjust all the addresses individually, but only increase the one that has a compulsory requirement.

  3. Let's encrypt staging backend for tests

    I am trying to develop a bash script that will create a domain and letsencrypt certificate on my UNIX server, but I've run into a limit from lets-encrypt.

    Looking at https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/ it talks about using a staging server for development purposes. Is it possible to add this option to letsencrypt extension?

    Someting like:

    plesk bin extension --exec letsencrypt cli.php -d ..com -m admin@***.com --test

    Or changing the Let's encrypt URL via panel.ini

    This feature is already available in the Let's Encrypt extension.

    To configure different ACME URL (e.g. a staging environment for  testing purposes), need to configure "acme-directory-url=https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory" option for the section "[ext-letsencrypt]" in the panel.ini file.

  4. Allow migrations of accounts between servers that share an external Smartermail server

    As above.

    Currently, it just fails as it tries to create the mail account on the receiving server which already exists on the mail server.

    At the least, you could allow migrations to exclude the entire mail domain and then make an account import tool to bring them into the receiving server.

  5. Inform about Plesk updates via mail (like about system updates)

    It's already possible to get an email when system updates are available. But it would be even better if I got an email when updates for Plesk are available. I do not have automatic updates enabled, neither for the system nor for Plesk, because that's too risky in my opinion. I would install the updates manually when I would get an email. Of course I do this already, but I try from time to time whether there is an update available.

  6. New option for service_plan_addon (utility): increase disk_space_soft

    There is a serviceplanaddon utility to automate the creation of service plan addons. Unfortunately this utility has no option to increase the parameter diskspacesoft. It would be very helpful to increase the warning limit when increasing disk_space and quota...

    Scenario: I have a service plan with 5GB disk space and a warning limit of 4GB (send an email notification when 4 GB are exceeded).
    The disk space of a hosting is e.g. 4.5 GB and an email notification is sent. Now I assign a service plan addon giving additional 5 GB. The service plan…

  7. 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…

    Unfortunately, we have to close your request, because over the years it has not become quite popular for further implementation.

  9. 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

  10. 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!

  11. 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.

  12. 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.

  13. 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

  14. 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,

  15. Backup Manager

    I suggest to remove options "Mail configuration and content" and "Store in Server storage" under Backup settings on Customer Panael if Mail Services and Ftp storage in Service Plans are disabled.

  16. 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.

  17. 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.

  18. 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…

  19. 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
