If you’re using Ubuntu then DO has a great guide that can be found here on how to setup and configure an SMTP server using Mail in a Box.

When you get the server setup, you’ll create an MX record at Namecheap that points to mail.domain.com and have mail.domain.com pointed to your Servers IP, and if you configured everything on the receiving server properly then you should be gucci.
