Hi All!
I am new user on digitalocean. I transfered my doman from Godday to digitalocean and configured a droplet in which I installed a website template. everything went smoothly and workes fine. however, my website doesn’t send emails to the user, like authentication etc…
I am using Ubuntu latest version and my smpt configuration is correct in .env file. while registration to my website it sends verification emails show (Flash message) but it doesn’t come to the user. I talked to my template provider and got to know that my server configuration is not correct. I am new user of Linux and also new on Digitalocean.
Any kind of guide or help appreciates very much

Hello, @Unknowreader
May I ask if you’ve configured any mailing service on your droplet as well? Another thing to do is to contact our support team via support ticket and make sure that SMTP is enabled for your account as well.

Hi @Unknowreader,
If you wish to use your server to send emails from it as well as host your website, you’ll need to install a mailing service. I’ll recommend using Postfix as it’s quite common and there are a lot of tutorials. There is even one here at DigitalOcean - https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-and-configure-postfix-on-ubuntu-18-04
I’ll recommend going through the guide, installing and configuring your Postfix service and then trying to send a message from your droplet/server with DigitalOcean.
