Hey guys!

Sorry for bothering, but the answer is not clear to me. Is it possible to create a mail server on the same droplet that i am hosting my website on? Im running Magento2 on Ubuntu 16.

Thank you in advance.

Hi @amiralbtal,

Since you haven’t mentioned what OS you are running on your droplet, I’ll take a guess and say it’s Ubuntu 18.04 since it’s the most used one.

I’ll recommend using Postfix to send out mails and configure mail accounts. Digital Ocean have a very good article on how to configure your mail server on a droplet - How To Install And Configure Postfix On Ubuntu
