This is a valid request, so we'll look into it. There is no ETA at the moment, but we would really appreciate you voting for this request so that we can accurately assess its popularity relative to other features. Thanks in advance!

An error occurred while saving the comment I came across the mailcow not long ago and kept tabs on their progress, apparently they have implemented in the nightly builds of the dockarized version an ability to link it up with LDAP and... omg hold on... just yesterday they moved everything from the nightly builds to stable... Haha here I go rebuilding the mail server, lol. thank highest I'm not yet too deep into configuring the server I built yesterday, here is the blog with the changes I am talking about: https://mailcow.email/posts/2025/release-2025-03/
This is the important part:
```
New Featuremailcow now supports external Identity Providers for authentication.
This is optional — administrators can configure an external identity provider, which can be used alongside the SQL database for authentication.
You can even configure which authentication source a specific user should use.Currently supported Identity Providers:
Keycloak – Documentation
LDAP/AD – Documentation
Generic OIDC – Documentation

An error occurred while saving the comment I feel like I'm wasting my time here 🤦. Since 2018, we have had a pandemic and many other things that rattled inflation. You can check the Consumer Price Index in your country. There are also inflation calculators that can help you understand if the price is fair based on Inflation year over year. That's how I calculate the new Prices for my clients.
Here, in the UK it seems they've added £20 more pounds on top of inflation, which might mean they wish to keep the price stable for longer.
In business, when it comes to recalculating your prices, you either keep them in lockstep with inflation or make bigger jumps but keep them as they are for longer, even past the inflation vs. price parity.
As for IONOS, they get a bulk license discount since they purchase many licenses from Plesk, making their VPS offerings more competitive and giving Plesk some constant income. It's like with MS Windows; individuals can buy it for, say, £100, but manufacturers like Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc., get a Volume Discount, which works out to something like £5 per PC.
My logic with feedback is that they keep a finger on the pulse of what professionals want, so they keep enhancing your experience. Making stuff for free when they have a paid module is bad for business.
Ok, I'll love you and leave you, I hoped there would be some good discussion here, but alas, no.
Tala!
An error occurred while saving the comment Rafael, please relax. There is no depression here. While I did call out some incompetence and lack of discussion, which is my opinion, I didn't go as far as diagnosing someone with a mental condition; that's the limit even for me. That said, there sure is a lot of frustration about the lack of constructive feedback.
The Plesk team has made it explicitly clear (and I'll repeat it) that they need to know what features of ClamAV are missing: "We’d like you to let us know which ClamAV features are missing in anti-viruses and services already available in Plesk." if you can't utter up anything other then "Plesk is paid and not free, so it's the least they can do and bring low-cost solutions to us" then they (as a business) have no real reason to do anything, and so this thread will be kept open for 10 more years.
While I could have started on a better note, my goal is still the same: stir up the discussion so this thread either gets closed as rejected or the feature is implemented.
To underline why I'm frustrated, nothing stops you from making one if you truly want a free and Open-Source version of the Module. Plesk has excellent documentation on how to make one: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/extensions-guide/create-your-first-extension.76333/. I dabbled in making one but abandoned it after I found WAF.
An error occurred while saving the comment License cost increases are the norm—have you heard of inflation? Welcome to the world of B2B and year-on-year inflation! As for partner licenses, I don't hide it: IONOS is my VPS provider of choice, and funny enough, their VPS costs went down rather than up over the years—a benefit of bulk licensing, I guess 🤷🤭.
Thijn, you are asking for a comprehensive solution that secures mail and storage. This is not easy, even if you are relying on free and open-source software.
P the "Plesk Email Security" already provides the bare minimum functionality, and even then, I'd say not enough as two emails hosted on the same server can send emails to each other, bypassing the security, and this is a paid module by Plesk. What makes you think that a free one will be any better? Also, just because something is based on Open-source software doesn't mean it can't be used for commercial purposes, that's how Open-source software gets popularised - when larger corporations with bigger resources for R&D integrate and invest in making it better.
Also, P, please don't get me twisted. I perfectly understand that people want stuff for free; it's human nature, but that's not how business works. Everything has hours and costs attached, hours that could've been spent fixing the bloody race conditions in the UI, and the cost of the development time.
An error occurred while saving the comment Oh, you lads, you give me a good chuckle.
It's interesting how people focused on what I defined as "Mind-blowing in 3, 2, 1...." instead of what I said above, which is how you get ClamAV and integrate it with Postfix FOR FREE.That said, fine; I laid that trap for myself.
Let me do what, in hindsight, I should have done yesterday.
Here is why I think they'll not implement it:
1. They already have an in-house paid Module, "Plesk Email Security", which implements ClamAV as part of the installation. They are not obligated to make it free for you, just to make it clear—again, the software is not open source. Don't use "Plesk Email Security", though. Its feature set is severely limited, and your money would be better spent on the third-party module I mentioned in the next point.
2. There is also a third, partly module, WAF or the "Warden Anti-spam and Virus Protection." The interface might be dated, but it's 100x better than "Plesk Email Security" and has a spam rating for internal emails.
3. For server and WordPress file scans, you have "Imunify," which has both free and paid versions. Free is, for the most part, enough; that said, if you are running something like an agency, more premium features would likely be nice to have. In my opinion, ClamAV is not a good option for server file scans as it was primarily designed for email checks.
4. This is the final reason: the initial comment from admin was, and I quote was:
"
Plesk currently offers two high-quality anti-viruses and other related services like WAF. Integrating another anti-virus solution is an expensive undertaking, so we’d like you to let us know which ClamAV features are missing in anti-viruses and services already available in Plesk. This will help us properly evaluate and prioritize this request.—AK
"This is why I say that people whine; there is nothing constructive when you keep asking for something, which, on Plesk's side, makes no sense to implement because the feature already exists through other means, not least the one for free using the terminal, which you can implement yourself. They've said it themselves: "Integrating another anti-virus solution is an expensive undertaking, so we’d like you to let us know which ClamAV features are missing in anti-viruses and services already available in Plesk".
It's not about "darn it, we paid for Plesk, so they must give us a free module"; it's about "What reason is there to implement it, or what's lacking in the current solution".
Plesk is foremost a commercial i.e. B2B solution, not for individuals B2C. If you run a business hosting many sites and need these features yet have no money to pay for them, 🤷 tells me a lot about your business.
Look, they list who Plesk is for on their site's home page:
"
Who’s Plesk for?Web professionals like you from across the globe
Infrastructure Providers, Admins, Developers, Content Managers, Digital Agencies.
"An error occurred while saving the comment `sudo apt update && sudo apt install clamav clamav-daemon` - replace with whichever package manager you use.
you... are... welcome!
And a link to integrate with Postfix if you need it for mail protection: https://www.linuxbabe.com/mail-server/postfix-amavis-spamassassin-clamav-ubuntu
Google or ChatGPT is your friend for other OS'.--- Mind-blowing in 3, 2, 1....
Can you PLEASE stop the whining, and keep this thread clean!? For those who, like me, hate these whiny emails, my apologies for adding to the noise. It's unbearable when all you want to see in your mailbox is:
"Some feature I'm subscribed to - Marked as Complete / In Progress / Planned"
Here is my take on this: if you can't open a terminal and DIY it while the Module is developed, you shouldn't run your own server or control panel since you are showing yourself as incompetent. Get yourself a cheap shared hosting and be happy. There are already other modules that are PAID AND FREE, and they are installed for you as part of the installation process.
As for monetisation, the "module" and friendly GUI are a convenience; developers spend time developing them, so they should get paid. Plesk is not open source, and if you get it free with VPS hosting, then you have a license that your VPS provider is paying for, and if you are "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate's life for me!" then you have no right to demand anything.
If you don't like something or can't bear getting your hands dirty by going into the terminal, install one of the numerous control panels you've mentioned and stop clogging up my mailbox!

Thank you for your input. We will consider this functionality in upcoming releases. Note that Plesk supports multiple mail servers and if we are going to add this feature, it’s possible that it won’t be available for all supported mail servers at once

An error occurred while saving the comment I think it's a must, let's be honest right now plesk provides minimum level of security for the user emails, I can't even set a policy for users to change their password every so often. While for a basic service it makes sense, I think OAuth is needed to ensure the users get most of security. Any time I go only the server logs I see a ton of activity on the Mail Server Side and a ton of blocked IPs in the fail2ban, people keep trying to bruitforce the passwords, having Oauth would allow us implement a more secure way of authenticating the user and also provide a better service to our users as opposed to plain old password authentication, allbe it with SSL encryption.
Before considering Plesk's Docker implementation for Production apps, I must have the volumes backed up. I can't host Critical for business applications without the backup.
