Question
How to redirect single domain webmail.example.com to another URL in Plesk?
Answer
This functionality is not implemented in Plesk. A feature request exists in plesk.uservoice.com.
The top-ranked suggestions are likely to be included in the next versions of Plesk.
As a workaround, apply one of solutions below:
Solution via Plesk GUI
-
Go to Domains > example.com > Mail Settings and switch-off option Activate mail service on this domain.
-
Go to Domains > example.com > DNS Settings and remove corresponding A record webmail.example.com. Press Update to update DNS zone.
-
Create new domain webmail.example.com in Plesk > Domains > Add Domain.
-
Go to Domains > webmail.example.com > Hosting Settings > Hosting type and set Hosting type as Forwarding. Set the desired URL as a destination address.
