Can you tell us a bit about your current configuration? DigitalOcean is an unmanaged hosting provider and while we provide several one-click application images that can be a big time saver for setting up web services, we do not provide one for email hosting. I would recommend starting with the following guides and can provide more specific information once I know more about your setup.

  • This guide will assist in setting up mail in a box which is a fairly straightforward and complete email hosting option. Before deciding to host your own mail server I’d recommend reading this as well.

This guide will cover many of the reasons that you may not want to run your own mail server, and offer a few alternatives.
