Plesk: listing all the mailbox account info (username/password)

November 19, 2011

Here’s a useful command when you’re dealing with Plesk very often. This lists all the account names and their passwords for all the mailboxes in your Plesk Controlpanel.

While you could/should argue it’s unsafe of Plesk to store them in plain text like that, it sure comes in handy when troubleshooting.

# /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mail_auth_view

Authentication database contents:

+-–-–-–-–-–-–-–-–+-—-+-–-–-–-–-–-—-+

| address |flags| password |

+-–-–-–-–-–-–-–-–+-—-+-–-–-–-–-–-—-+

| [email protected] | | SomethingRandom |

…

So keep that /usr/local/psa/admin/bin/mail_auth_view command in mind!
