Plesk interface
  1. Log in to Plesk.

  3. Set outgoing mail mode to Send from the specified IP addresses.

    Changing to a different IP address broke the mail and all websites on the dedicated server.

    This function is probably fully tested.

    Maybe someone will answer why everything stops working normally.
