Digital Ocean doesn't condone the use of panels. Someone may answer your question here but the community suggests that you learn about linux and how much better it is to administer your droplet that way: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/an-introduction-to-linux-basics

Linux may be daunting to learn about at first, but familiarising yourself with the operating system is easy. The basics are simple, and you'll learn skills to arm yourself with knowledge in the future.

Like Alex said, we don't recommend ZPanel. Under the hood, ZPanel uses postfix for email. We have an article on how to set up postfix on Ubuntu 12.04:

It would be a good place to start debugging your issue and learn how to run postfix with out a panel.

Good luck!
