Changing the Plesk Administrator email address

In the Plesk Control Panel you can set your email address for the Plesk Administrator. This address is used for all system-related messages. The address is also stored in the following files on your server, which uses the the popular qmail mail server.

You can edit these files to change the email address as originally configured in Plesk.

You can also have multiple entries. Just make sure that each address is on it’s own separate line and prefixed with an “&” symbol.

Catch-all/default address behavior for new accounts in Cpanel.

The catch-all or default address handles email sent to nonexistent users on your server’s domains. It is useful to keep in mind that spammers frequently use Directory Harvest Attacks to try to guess recipient usernames at known domains. Thus, a domain may receive a large number of spam messages sent to nonexistent users, costing you server resources.

fail — Checks for the intended email recipient and, if no matching recipient is found, denies the SMTP request before downloading the message. This option is recommended.
blackhole — Discards the message after downloading it. This option uses system resources.
localuser — Allows users to set up their own catch-all email addresses. These email accounts will mainly serve to collect spam.
