Question
How to set up email to work properly in VestaCP?
- Posted February 11, 2015
I have VestaCP installed on Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and have created multiple email adresses in VestaCP. I was trying to use roundcube mail client for the emails, but I face a problem when sending emails out.
Most of the servers would reject the emails and provide different error messages. Following is a mesagge from gmail:
- SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [173.194.65.27]: 550-5.7.1 [178.62.181.227 12] Our system has detected that this message is 550-5.7.1 likely unsolicited mail. To reduce the amount of spam sent to Gmail, 550-5.7.1 this message has been blocked. Please visit 550-5.7.1 http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=188131 for 550 5.7.1 more information. gp3si2559708wib.60 - gsmtp *
I have not yet sent a single email succesfully, so previous spam is not a problem.
P.S. Receiving emails works as a charm.

To Fix this issue:
Make sure your droplet name matches your server name. a. Power Off droplet. b. Click on Server Name, change this to aka: server1.yourdomain.com c. Go to Networking in Digital Ocean CP. Click on PTR Records. d. Add PTR record for aka: server1.yourdomain.com e. Power On droplet.
Update Settings in VestCP to match. a. In VestaCP, click on Server Tab. (Make sure it has a FQ domain) aka: server1.yourdomain.com b. Under DNS, add an A record for that subdomain.
For all the settings and update to take place, it will take a while for other servers on the net to respond. But once this is done, you will be able to send/receive to pretty much any domain.

Vestacp is a trainwreck… no doubt …
If I could find a way to make vestacp work with mailinabox that would be great…

Issue is still there
I configured exim to relay outgoing mails to an external provider (like sendgrid.com -free 10k mails-). I think this is the secure and better solution. There are lot of threads on how to do this.
Same here. The Roundcube just don’t send with VestaCP
Seriously it is the biggest problem with the control panel tried everything and have checked that the server’s ip is not blacklisted installed ubuntu without firewall etc. etc. i was however able to send trough gmail smtp from wordpress but the webmail installed together with vestacp was still not working. And i was not able to make it work tried several setups
