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.

Laravel ToolKit: Creation of deployment script before first deployment. On the "Install Application" screen.
When I deploy a Laravel application to Plesk, I always use the Laravel ToolKit extension. I follow all the steps outlined in the documentation to install my application. However, at the end of the deployment process, I still need to go to the extension's Node tab and run the npm install and npm run build commands. It would be nice if there was an option to implement a deployment script on the "Install Application" screen, as this would reduce the amount of configuration that would need to be done in the Plesk panel.
There is a similar option in the Git extension. However, it does not perform some of the hosting configurations that the Laravel ToolKit extension does.
Attached is the image where the deployment script could be configured.

remove/update the app options (wikis, CMS, bulletin boards, Squirrelmail etc)
These are so out of date as to be seriously vulnerable, with versions that mostly cannot be readily installed without installing PHP version 7.0 and (often) to add in the mysql module to PHP even if you are using that.
These options should be removed unless it can be upgraded to the latest versions of PHP and the mysql module added to PHP - at the very least something on the page BEFORE installation saying that this will require outdated and unsupported versions of PHP and any additional modules so people
a) know the dangers and also
b) so they do not have to go through the steps of installation only to find that they do not have those things installed and will have to do that.ideally, too, if they have a warning, but want to go ahead:
1) it would be good to have in that warning something to actually install the deprecated versions of this software automatically as part of that process and
2) where appropriate, to offer installation to a subdomain if there is a risk of overwriting an installation that exists where the user is going to install it.At the moment, you can do a custom install but that is not necessarily obvious on the install page as 'custom' requires the dropdown and there is no warning before Laravel or Afterlogic overwrite your, e.g. Wordpress install, whilst the Nextcloud and Mattermost ones will not do an overwrite but install alongside.

OpenSSH server support in Plesk for Windows
SFTP (FTP over SSH protocol) Support would come in handy for users who want a more secure way to transfer their files to and from their hosting account. We, as a hosting company, have received many requests for a more secure way to handle file transfers than the classic FTP(S) protocol on Windows Server.
Newer versions of Windows have built-in OpenSSH server functionality, I think it would be nice to integrate this in the Plesk end-user Panel in a way that users can use SFTP with their account username and (maybe?) configure SSH keys for their accounts for a more secure way to connect.
Also, as an admin, it would be nice to a SSH server configuration interface where you can enable/disable password authentication, set custom SSH port a.s.o.https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_server_configuration

Force certain group of users only (administrators or customers) to use 2FA, not all users.
Currently, when setting up 2FA, it is possible to enforce all users on server (administrators and customers) to use 2FA. The idea is to enforce the administrators to use 2FA, not customers or enforce customers instead.

Letsencrypt wildcard certificate, check dns and continue automatically
When creating a wildcard certificate for a domain where we are hosting the DNS, letsencrypt creates the required DNS record automatically, but then shows a dialog telling us to check the dns before continuing.
Since plesk created the DNS record and the DNS points to our server, the plugin should be able to verify that the DNS is good and continue automatically.
If we are not hosting the DNS and we have to manually create the record before continuing, the tools can easily display a 'check dns' button that will do the dns lookup and confirm if good or not.

Backup and restorations should be noted in Plesk's Action log

Let wp-cron run every minute by default
Currently, when enabling 'Take over wp-cron.php' and 'Create a replacement task (...)', the cron job that's created only runs twice an hour. (See screenshot attached)
This seems wrong; any Wordpress cronjob that needs to run at a higher interval, will fire too late.
There is no performance benefit to running wp-cron less often, in fact, it might cause performance problems, because late jobs would pile up.Can the default wp-cron.php interval be changed to every minute, please?
One source that offers some more explanation: https://wpengine.com/support/wp-cron-wordpress-scheduling/
Missed crons and crons that run too frequently can both be resolved by enabling the [system native cronjob]. This alternate cron is a service on the server itself and checks for “due now” crons every minute by curling wp-cron.php, rather than running cron processes based on traffic flow.

Set HELO/EHLO name in MailEnable on Windows at Plesk installation
A default Plesk install on Windows incorrectly sets the MailEnable hostname to servername.home which is invalid and will cause blacklisting of the Plesk server.
It must be assigned manually:
https://talk.plesk.com/threads/how-to-align-the-mail-servers-helo-ehlo-with-proper-dns-forward-and-reverse-values.368890/#post-924515
...which also may require creating a subscription on the server because the MailEnable settings requires the "sending notifications" email to be locally hosted.A proper hostname should be set at installation, or at minimum a notice shown to the Plesk admin that a manual setting change is necessary.

Add possibility to configure Plesk to relay all Plesk notification emails to another SMTP server that requires authentication
Currently, Plesk notification emails relayed to another mail server return "said: 550 Authentication is required for relay (in reply to MAIL FROM command)" errors.
A set of separate settings that allow you to configure Plesk to relay all Plesk notification emails to another SMTP server while using authentication would be very helpful for such setups.
