Creating domain templates for different Plesk users

To create a domain template for a certain Plesk Client, specify this client either by id, or by login (both are unique in Plesk).

<packet version="1.4.1.0">

<domain-template>

<add>

   <name>base_template</name>

   <client-id>12</client-id>

   <mail>

      <webmail>true</webmail>

   </mail>

</add>

</domain-template>

</packet>

Or:

<packet version="1.4.1.0">

<domain-template>

<add>

   <name>base_template</name>

   <client-login>technolux</client-login>

   <mail>

      <webmail>true</webmail>

   </mail>

</add>

</domain-template>

</packet>

When creating a domain template for Plesk Administrator, nodes <client-id> and <client-login> are not used:

<packet version="1.4.1.0">

<domain-template>

<add>

   <name>base_template</name>

   <mail>

      <webmail>true</webmail>

   </mail>

</add>

</domain-template>

</packet>

Creating multiple domain templates

To create two domain templates with a single packet, include two different <add> blocks:

<packet version="1.4.1.0">

<domain-template>

<add>

   <name>base_template</name>

   <mail>

      <webmail>true</webmail>

   </mail>

</add>

<add>

   <name>quick_template</name>

   <mail>

      <webmail>false</webmail>

   </mail>

</add>

</domain-template>

</packet>

Mailing settings

The following packet creates three domain templates. The mailing settings are as follows:

• the 'bounce_template' domain template allows email users to access the email service of Plesk (the WebMail application) and specifies the text sent back if a message is addressed to a non-existing user;
• the 'forward_template' forwards mail addressed to a non-existing user to a certain email box;
• the 'reject_template' rejects mail addressed to a non-existing user (such messages are not accepted by the mail server.

  <packet version="1.4.1.0">

  <domain-template>

  <add>

     <name>bounce_template</name>

     <mail>

        <webmail>true</webmail>

        <nonexistent-user>

            <bounce>Email address does not exist.</bounce>

        </nonexistent-user>

     </mail>

  </add>

  <add>

     <name>forward_template</name>

     <mail>

        <nonexistent-user>

            <forward>spam@technolux.co.uk</forward>

        </nonexistent-user>

     </mail>

  </add>

  <add>

     <name>reject_template</name>

     <mail>

        <nonexistent-user>

            <reject/>

        </nonexistent-user>

     </mail>

  </add>

  </domain-template>

  </packet>

Log rotation

To disable log rotation on a domain created using the specified template, use the following packet:

<packet version="1.4.1.0">

<domain-template>

<add>

   <name>base_template</name>

   <log-rotation>

      <off/>

   </log-rotation>

</add>

</domain-template>

</packet>

The following packet creates the domain template that enables log rotation on a domain, allows the storage of up to 30 handled log files related to this domain, and removes active log files related to this domain from logging once a week:

<packet version="1.4.1.0">

<domain-template>

<add>

   <name>base_template</name>

   <log-rotation>

      <on>

          <log-condition>

              <log-bytime>weekly</log-bytime>

          </log-condition>

          <log-max-num-files>30</log-max-num-files>
