Enable Whitelist and Blacklist for Email
It would be very useful to add domains or email addresses to whitelist or blacklist so that my whitelisted domain doesn't show SPAM-Whatever in the subject or my blacklisted domains/emails never show up

Remote mail server
Not everyone will use PPA, but a separate Mail server would be very good.
5 votesYou can configure and use external Mail Server as it is already described in Plesk documentation – http://download1.parallels.com/Plesk/PP12/12.0/Doc/en-US/online/plesk-administrator-guide/72346.htm
Let us know if it doesn’t help.

Add support of ImageMagick7 for PHP shipped by Plesk
Would be great to use ImageMagick7 with PHP versions shipped by Plesk.
4 votesThe feature request is based on the false assumption that ImageMagick is a PHP component. Instead, it is a stand-alone software package that can be installed on several operating systems. It can be used through PHP shell_exec() or exec() functions or similar PHP functions that allow execution of shell commands, but it can also be used from other software. PHP does not depend on it, neither depends ImageMagick on PHP.
ImageMagick is often confused with Imagick PHP extension.
We are not aware that Plesk overwrites a custom ImageMagick version on the operating system level as Plesk does not deliver ImageMagick, but it comes from repositories configured for the operating system, such as "updates" or "base" on RHEL/CentOS for example.

Edit database connection information
Please add a feature in which is possible to edit database's connection information.
e.g Be possible to add port connection info alongside db server hostname, or add a field in which any note could be set.
4 votesPort and hostname cannot be edited, because they are set by the service and the host configuration. If you wish to change the hostname, please set the new hostname in /etc/hosts and edit it in Plesk as described in https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/213941265--How-to-change-or-get-the-server-hostname-on-Plesk-server. If you wish to change the database port, this must be done in the database configuration and depends on database type and version. Please refer to the man pages of the database server that your system is using. Normally, it is not advised to change the port.

Add domain reputation based spam protection lookup in server-wide mail settings.
Add domain reputation based spam protection lookup such as the feed from dbl.dq.spamhaus.net, in addition to the existing IP DNSBL.
4 votesThe feature request is asking to protect recipients from spam by a domain reputation based lookup. However, this is already available by simply adding a suitable DNSBL like Senderscore to the DNSBL settings. Other solutions would require Plesk to operate their own DNSBL service, but that is not the task of a control panel.

Secure Plesk UI and mail server with Let's encrypt during Plesk installation
During installation, both Plesk and the Plesk mail server are automatically secured with a free self-signed SSL/TLS certificate.
That leads to SSL warning when you open Plesk panel and you have to do additional actions to secure Plesk with valid certificate.
The idea is that if Plesk hostname point to this server - install Let's encrypt certificate to secure Plesk UI and Mail server during Plesk installation.
If hostname can not be resolved or points to another server - install self-signed certificate.4 votes-- PD

Allow storage of second email address so Nublue invoices send to me AND our accounts department!
It would be helpful if a second email address was stored so Nublue invoice emails were sent to BOTH me and our accounts department. At present I have to remember to forward each one to them. Also causes problems when I am on leave. PLEASE!!!
4 votesPlease rethink the solution approach: You can simply add a forwarding list to any mailbox in Plesk and use that mailbox' address to receive invoices. This way all invoices sent to that mailbox will automatically be forwarded to as many recipients as you configure in the forwarding list.

Compile nginx with ngx_http_fastcgi_module
Compile nginx with the ngxhttpfastcgi_module so that it's possible to use the nginx fast cgi cache. It can make a basic WordPress site extremely fast as PHP doesn't need to be executed at all but the static page can be served straight away by nginx.
There are even several WordPress plugins that can empty the cache automatically when new content is published or old content updated.
I think this would be quite a simple change from Plesk's side as the only required think I can think of would be just to add the module at compilation time to…
4 votesnginx is compiled with http_fastcgi_module now.

plesk 12.5 windows to have auto banning of IP for IP address that uses brute force to hack user email accounts.
I was looking at my smtp activity log file and I realize that it is possible to use brute force to try to hack into someone's email account.
Basically the log shows this IP address logging in with the user's password, then the server returns the message, invalid user or password.
The same IP then tries again automatically with another password and it just keeps going none stop.
Would be great if the system can just automatically ban this IP after maybe 10 failed attempt. So it doesn't eventually break through.4 votesAlready available in scope of fail2ban Plesk feature.

Support mod_dso for proftpd
I'm trying to limit certain FTP accounts by IP via proftpd config, but can't due to some modules being unavailable (namely modifsession and moddso).
If moddso was included, other modules can be loaded at runtime (such as modifsession), allowing the config to be a lot more customizable.

Custom FCGI Timeout per vHost
Please add an option to customers hosting configuration to configurate FCGI-Timeout for the PHP Proccess.
At the moment we have no chance to change this timeout for a specific customer - to a higher value.
If we change the vhost file, it is overwrite on the next configuration changes.thansk so far
4 votesThe feature is available in Plesk since version 11.5.
You should just set “max_execution_time” in PHP settings in Plesk, and then it will automatically set required timeouts for FastCGI and FPM.

Cache Functionality Tools
Cache is of huge imporatnce in hosting performance of web sites.
There are presently zero tools to help this in a simple way.
This would aid server management enormously.
