  1. Implement push notifications to iOS devices from mail server

    Implement push notifications to iOS devices from mail server.

    Here are details of what I mean: using a patched version of Dovecot and a small Perl script, it's possible to get native Apple push notifications for new mail using the stock iOS mail client. This is accomplished by mimicking Apple's XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE IMAP extension for Dovecot used in macOS Server, whose source code is published on the Apple Open Source website. See more details here: http://bit.ly/2H8NERJ

  3. Add "mail.example.com" (mail subdomain) in Subject Alternative Names when option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected

    Currently almost all mail clients (I used) need the server address to be in the Subject Alternative Names on the certificate, meaning if the configured address is "mail.example.com" instead of "example.com", that first subdomain is not present in the certificate, even when the option "Assign the certificate to mail domain" is selected when issuing the certificate.

  4. Limit rate of backup

    Full weekly backup for all domains create a huge I/O throughput on our SAN that stress too much our infrastructure until backup ends. It would great if we can tune data through a pipe like "pv" command do.

    I.e.
    This is an example of backup that stress the SAN:
    mysqldump -A -q --single-transaction=TRUE -u $MUSER -p$MPASS | gzip > $_file

    This instead is and example that do not stress the SAN:
    mysqldump -A -q --single-transaction=TRUE -u $MUSER -p$MPASS | gzip | pv -L 512k > $_file

    in the last command we set the maximum rate limit of 512k. Of course…

  5. Be able to disable/hide Mail Forwarding

    Mail forwarding, when sent externally, can cause IP reputation issues due to forwarded spam.
    When users setup an email account via Plesk panel, they are given the option to "Switch on mail forwarding". It would be nice to either disable or hide this option from plesk panel. If
    that's not possible, then only offer users to forward email locally instead of forwarding to external email accounts

    Could you clarify that we correctly got the case:
    Plesk Admin wants to prohibit an ability for their customers to set up an email forwarding to external emails.
    If yes, would it work if the related subscription will have additional permission, which will allow/disallow to manage mail forwarding at all for a particular subscription?

  6. Add DKIM-key in php mail() function

    When DKIM is activated, the key isn't added when you use the PHP mail() function, for example if you have a contact form on the website. Please add because this generates false SPAM-detection problems. Google for example thinks it's strange that sometimes the DKIM key is added and sometimes not. Please keep in mind that this should work with an external DNS-service too.

  7. Make all e-mail templates customizable (including password reset e-mail)

    One can currently already customize a number of e-mail templates by going to "Tools and settings" -> "Notifications""

    However it would be nice if all e-mail templates where present there. The e-mail that is sent out on password resets is currently missing.

    I would like to edit that so that the panel's URL in the e-mail does not point to port :8443

  8. Wildcard mail aliases

    Any kind of wildcard mail aliases (regex and/or /?) would be highly appreciated in order to realize a "allow form all but anything like..." handler. Example: Ban all info-@domain addresses.

    I had somenting similar at my old provider but not with new one using plesk. Now I need to insert dozens (hundreds) of addresses one by one...

    If there is already a way to realize something similar I was not able to find it (or my provider did not enable it)...

  10. Allow the possibility to use a custom Hostname for Mail Auto Discovery

    Allow the possibility to use a custom Hostname for Mail Auto Discovery.

    For example:
    Having a desginated ServerName for the Mail server requests and use the Auto Discovery to configure the Domains using that ServerName instead of using the Domain name.

  11. Using LDAP with Mail server

    The LDAP Auth extension only allows enabling LDAP authentication to Plesk. Can you allow end-users to use outlook/thunderbird/webmail with the password stored in the Active Directory?

    In this case, the mail server has to be configured via Plesk to use the LDAP authentication.

  15. Enable Mail DKIM signing by default

    I suggest to add an option to Plesk Service Plans to enable DKIM signing when creating a new hosting package.

    Right now we have to manually enable DKIM signing for every new hosting account after creation.

    This should be inside a Service Plan under tab: Mail

  16. Limit maximum crontab frequency and preventing cronjobs pile-up

    Plesk administrator should be able to limit the maximum crontab frequency allowed for user's crontab (example: deny the creation of cronjob that run more often than once in 5 minutes)

    Crontab pile-up should be prevented, so a user can't run a cron job if the same job isn't finished yet.

    Thank you for your idea.

    For the time being, please consider that a script that is started via cronjob, should check itself if another instance of the same script is already running, if there is a risk that a further instance causes problems. Crontab cannot check that. 

    Also, please be aware that users are not bound to repeat actions in a script in a while-loop. They can easily start a script every 10 minutes, yet let it run over and over again by just putting their content into a while-loop, maybe even wait a few seconds after each iteration. So limiting them to create cronjobs for only every n minutes will not keep users from executing scripts all the time.

    We'd like to hear more from other users what they think about the idea. If it still becomes popular, it might find its way into a future version of the…

  18. Set the root directory to INBOX in mail autodiscover for Outlook

    By default, the Mail Audodiscover function does not set the Root folder path to "INBOX" in Outlook, which results in an odd directory structure:

    Inbox
    Drafts
    Sent
    Trash
    Spam
    Outbox

    Please provide a way to configure this without having to manually edit the mail server configuration files.

  19. When sending a mail with attached file archive it into ZIP with password automatically

    There are situations when a message with attached files should have these files in a ZIP archive.
    So, it would be good to have a feature for outgoing mail with automatical ZIP archivation of the attached files and set password protection of the archive. And also, send a password for this archive in a separate message (sending next to the message with the archive).

  20. Show currently/recently mail sending scripts

    Use case: One of our customer has uploaded files to his ftp server in a public internet cafe and his password was stolen. Afterwards there was a mass spam mail sending script on his webserver. Our server has been landed in black lists. It was very difficult to find and correct it.
