I have followed your tutorial written above, however it doesn't send e-mail correctly, it doesn't use SMTP, there is no DKIM etc.
can you please post configuration for external SMTP server for example, or internal SMTP server running on Plesk where DKIM is configured
please test using some @gmail.com address as a receiver, under "show original" it should use SPF, DKIM and DMARC if configured on the server, so message doesn't end up in SPAM
Hello Pera Burek
The issue should be resolved on the installations with the latest Plesk Obsidian.
What Plesk version do you use?
Plesk Obsidian Version 18.0.25 Update #2
Hello Pera Burek
In that case, I would suggest submitting a support request. An investigation is required.
This isn't fixed in the latest update cause my customers complaining about getting these emails and they coming in as spam
