I am looking for a solution to handle multiple plesk servers via one HA PMG solution

I would like to have a option to sync the user accounts from plesk to PMG, so that the users are having a central dns for smtp, imap and pop3
(along with the features PMG provides)

So PMG shall know on what plesk node the IMAP/pop3 mailboxes are running, along with knowing where to push the inbound smtp based mails

Is PMG able to handle the requirements?

If the different plesk servers are used for different domains you can configure this in the Transport tab of the Mail Proxy configuration

But just to be clear - PMG is meant to be used as SMTP Proxy between your downstream mail-server and the internet.
and the user-mailboxes should send mail through that downstream mail-server


So I'm not sure if PMG is a good fit?

the issue is if i can import the users and domains from plesk to PMG?
e.g. it would be required to have
- domains
- mailboxes
- mail-aliases
- username
- password

Sure to configure a smtp relay shall be clear for SMTP, but...
IMAP + POP3 is also required

therefore asking here

PMG is not meant to be used as IMAP+POP proxy - it does not provide this functionality - and while it may be possible to install and configure e.g. perdition alongside it - this is quite out of scope

the issue is if i can import the users and domains from plesk to PMG?
PMG for the largest part (i.e. apart from configuring an LDAP profile where you can work with groups and mail-aliases in the rulesystem) does not have a concept of users and mailboxes - it is meant to be used as a proxy for your SMTP server

I hope this explains it!
