Have you set up MX records?

Hi Pablo,

This is my DNS configuration.

Please tell me how to fix it if I did wrong. Thanks!

The MX record looks correct. At your registrar, did you assign DigitalOcean's nameserver's to your domain? In Webmin, do you have an (i.) SMTP and (ii.) IMAP or POP module installed?

Hi Pablo,

I registered the domain name at Godaddy. I installed the address Nameservers: NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM
NS2.DIGITALOCEAN.COM
NS3.DIGITALOCEAN.COM

No MX records to set at Godaddy. I installed Virtualmin as default: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-utilize-virtualmin-on-a-vps
How To Install and Utilize VirtualMin on a VPS
Virtualmin is a Webmin module which allows for extensive management of (multiple) virtual private servers. You will be able to manage Apache, Nginx, PHP, DNS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, mailboxes, FTP, SSH, SSL, Subversion/Git repositories and many more.

What happens when you try sending or receiving a test email? It's my understanding that a standard install of Virtualmin sets up a Dovecot server, which allows users to access email via IMAP or POP3 from desktop clients or mobile devices.

Hi Pablo,

Thank you very much. I have solved the problem.

In Webmin, i create a virtual host that allows domain: mail.domain.com pointing to the Roundcube directory.

Thank you for your help again.
