Email Setup for Wordpress & Normal Accounts

Question

I have two droplet’s setup both have Wordpress installed. I’ve installed Sendmail but I’m still having issues sending emails through Wordpress.

I’ve never setup and managed an email server and I’m wondering if that is what I will need to do to get this resolved.

I’ve also got 6 sites that I need to host email for and I’m trying to find a good place with a reasonable price for hosting their email. Any suggestions?

Hello @Noob,

You can

create your own Mail Server (not for newbies)
use Google Apps for Work
use Zoho Mail

Hi @eldin,

Thanks for your response. I’m going to keep a VPS account to host my email for friends. Anyone new, I’m going to have them sign up for email through Google Apps.

I do have another question if you could help me with it. I’m having issues with postmail sending basic Wordpress emails. Any ideas why?

  I would recommend you to use Postfix, as it is much better than Sendmail
  
  sudo apt-get purge sendmail sudo apt-get install postfix
  
  Select option – Internet Site
  
  Hostname - FQDN (example.com)
  
  If you want that these E-Mails are trusted you need to setup PTR, SPF, OpenDKIM and OpenDMARC.
  
  The easiest way would be this:

My wordpress dont send mails too… I install postfix and after this I install a Plugin WP-Mail Bank, and it dont send… you can help me?

This email is only to receive, when a visit click on a link to send error mail.

My idea is, Visit click on link to send mail > and WP send this mail to my gmail.

What I need do?
