Question
Open smtp, imap and pop3 through iptables
- Posted September 17, 2013
I have zpanel installed on ubuntu and i have set up iptables as DO instructed. I can send emails but not receive, so i believe it is down to a port not being open in iptables.
Can someone please tell me how to open SMTP, POP3 and IMAP in iptables?

Port 25 isn’t open on your droplet – did you install a firewall/do you have an MTA running?
Had look round and cant find the logs
@kamal Just tried it now and nope nothing. I have tried two email address on the same domain and nothing. <br> <br>Where would i find those logs?
@cameron: Try now, does it work? Also check zPanel’s mail logs and see if there are any issues
I know i am maybe rushing things. I have left it one hour and it still appears not to be receiving emails in webmail ? Could it be the pop3 or imap port also?
Thank you. Hopefully it will work :) <br>
The MX records only handle incoming mail so I believe that’s your issue.
Thank you. I have now done that i shall wait a couple hours. <br> <br>It was actually that i can send emails through webmail but i am not receiving them. <br> <br>Would the MX record affect incoming records too?
Add an A record: <br> <br><pre>Name: mail <br>Hostname/Value: 1.2.3.4 (your droplet’s IP address)</pre> <br>Then add an MX record: <br> <br><pre>Priority: 5 <br>Hostname: mail</pre> <br> <br>Wait a couple of hours until the DNS recrods propagate and try sending an email again.
I have been doing research and i think i need to set up MX records? <br>Can someone please tell me how to and what i should put in as mx records for my zpanel ?
