Enable SSL session caching by default in Nginx configuration
SSL session caching is not enabled by default in Plesk's Nginx configuration, leading to the warning “Session resumption (caching): No (IDs assigned but not accepted)” during SSL testing (e.g., SSLLabs test). Without SSL session caching, SSL/TLS handshakes take longer and consume additional resources, impacting performance for returning users.
The following settings are missing in the Nginx SSL configuration file (/etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf):
sslsessioncache shared:SSL:32m;
sslsessiontimeout 1m;Steps to Reproduce:
- Run SSL configuration tests, such as with SSLLabs, and observe the “Session resumption” section.
- Note the warning “Session resumption (caching): No (IDs assigned but not accepted)”, indicating the lack of caching.
Could you please enable SSL session caching by default?

Autoresponder "From" Email Addresses
It is commonplace nowadays to see something like this when we receive email.
"Accounts From My Organisation" accounts@myorganisation.com .
It looks far more professional and more aesthetically pleasing than the utilitarian "accounts@myorganisation.com" which is the only option currently available in the Plesk Obsidian autoresponder functionality.
It would be a nice feature - and fairly simple, I imagine - to add a field to the autoresponder functionality to allow us to enter a "pretty" name which would be what the email recipient would see in their inbox. Alternatively, of course, the existing field could be amended to allow for "something here" actual email account to be entered as a single object.
At very little cost, we all suddenly look more business-like.

URL-based branding logos
I suggest enabling Plesk to allow different branding logos in the login screen and the top left corner of the session, depending on the full-qualified hostname used to reach the server. For example, if a server can be reached through 2 different names, the idea would be to be able to set a default branding logo and have alternative ones depending on the URL used to connect to the server. Here's an example:
plesk.domain1.com -> main logo (default)
plesk.domain2.net -> alternative logo 1
hosting.domain3.co -> alternative logo 2
any other aliases/URLs -> main logo (default)3 votesThank you for your input! We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases if it becomes popular.

avoid Plesk panel update when a backup is running
Plesk updates the panel while a backup process is running. This can interrupt a backup, for example:
Error: Server "<hostname>"
Value at Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin\AdminAType\PreferencesAType -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\Admin -> Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\MigrationDump is expected to be an object of class Plesk\backup\Agent\Schema\Backup\ScheduledTasks but is of type array
Error:
Unable to create the remote backup: Repository error: Failed to open the file '/usr/local/psa/PMM/tmp/pmm-de-tmp-repo-NnwqUP/backuplickey002410212254.tzst': No such file or directorybut I have observed other similar issues before. On large servers, a full backup can run for many hours. If it fails, many hours of high cpu load are lost and the backup must be repeated the next night. It would be better to move the Panel updates dynamically forward into a time frame when the software detects that no backups are running.

Usage of "Quick Preview" DNS should be made more clear.
The fact that Plesk must be the DNS server for the "Quick Preview on a domain in Plesk" option should be underlined and more prominent in the interface. The necessity of a Wildcard SSL cert should be clearer too. That would help your clients and avoid some tickets to Plesk support.

Improve the Backup Manager for when it freezes or aborts when using S3/Scaleway
Plesk should have a native mechanism to detect when a backup job is stuck; helping to manage backups more efficiently without relying on manual intervention.
Plesk should allow backups to automatically resume from the point where they fail, rather than starting from the beginning; saving time and resources, especially for large backups.

Custom color wheel for private branding
Currently, Plesk provides only two options for branding customization, which can be limiting for users managing multiple internal companies with distinct branding needs. I propose the addition of a custom color wheel for private branding in Plesk.
This feature would allow administrators to choose from a broader range of colors, offering more flexibility in aligning the Plesk interface with specific company branding. For users handling multiple companies, this customization option would be a significant improvement, making it easier to differentiate between brands.

Add warnings for unsupported operating systems in the Dashboard
Many Plesk users continue to run outdated operating systems, which often results in non-functional repositories, failed updates, or even security risks. While the current Dashboard displays "Server Information," including the OS version, it lacks any warnings about the support status of the operating system.
I propose adding the following to the Dashboard:
- Display an orange warning when the OS has 6 months or less of support remaining.
- Display a red warning when the OS is end-of-life and no longer receives updates.
These warnings should include links to support articles explaining the risks and offering steps to update or migrate the server to a supported version.
Adding these color-coded warnings will help administrators stay informed and take action before encountering major problems due to unsupported operating systems.

Add IP Address and "non-existent mailbox" to plesk_saslauthd Authentication Logs
In the "maillog" program logs, which contain "server plesk_saslauthd" entries, the IP addresses are not recorded. During brute force attacks from multiple IPs, there are failed login attempts to non-existent mailboxes. While these attacks don't pose a direct threat, they consume server resources and could become dangerous if they target existing mailboxes.
I request that IP addresses be added to the "server plesk_saslauthd" logs, along with information about non-existent mailboxes, to improve filtering through fail2ban.
Current log:
Sep 20 08:14:00 server plesk_saslauthd[117757]: failed mail authentication attempt for user 'example@domain.com' (password len=14)Suggested log:

Great fight against spam: Make possible to add settings in '.cf' for spamassassin like adding an helping DNSBL and/or modifying scores
The possibility to add DNSBL's is not bad, but not good as without knowing several emails are blocked and in these blocked emails sometimes is a or several hams/emails as false positives. Much better would be being able to put in an '.cf'-configurations-file for spamassassin 'DNSBL's, which do not block but move emails identified as spam to the spam folder. Later on the customer can watch from time to time if hams/femails as alse positives have been sorted out wrongly and put them back to the inbox or a sucfolder which is not for spams.
A rule can even learn from emails which are ham by putting them in a predefined folder like archive or a selfdefined folder where no spams are.
With fine tuning of the simple spamassassin '.cf' I achieved for me and several customers that spam in inbox appears about one time in a week although I have many domains and adresses ad in 2015 I become about 180-220 spams per day (almost all filtered!) ... nowadays it is reduced to about 80-100 spams per day thankfully because of DMARC with their subcomponents.
Yes, I could solve the problem personally in a manual way, but other customers will be very sure happy being able to fight against spam with plesks web interface.
