It looks like the SMTP.php file is working pretty nice.
This heavy bug is still not fixed and can cause a lot of trouble if using your own mailserver,
Just one bug in the SMTP.php file i found, you forget to add the subject into the fputs.
Fix:
adding after: fputs($smtp_conn,"DATA\r\n");
This lines:
fputs($smtp_conn,"Subject: $YOURSUBJECT\r\n");
$data = get_data($smtp_conn);
Hello Daniel,
Thank you for your notice. SMTP.php has been updated with Subject line.
The same happens with emails that are being sent from the server when auto-reply is enabled in an email account. The email is being sent but not signed with DKIM. I just test it with Plesk Onyx Version 17.8.11 Update #38 on CentOS 6.10.
Do you think it is the same issue or should i post it on a new thread?

This bug is from 2017. When will it finally be fixed?
Hello @Lars,
Currently, there is no ETA for this issue.
After fix being released this article will be updated.
Also, the information will be available at Plesk change log.
@Ivan
This is a huge bug, i mentioned a few times at the forum already and talked with developers on your help center months ago.
It really deserves a LOT more attention.
Your unable to use your own mailserver over PLESK for sending newsletter/order mails or even simple mails.
Some mailservers block not dkim signed messages or mark them as spam. For sure you wont have success like that if you dont implement a workaround.
Then just tell us: why so long? It's such a basic feature with big consequences.
Hello @Daniel and @Koert!
Thank you both for the feedback. Indeed the functionality is useful and vital for you.
