How to set up email to work properly in VestaCP?
- Posted on February 11, 2015
Asked by Flovinskas
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…
