Hi, I read a few articles about emails setup, but I am very confused what can I actually need.
My requirements are:
- phpmail is working
- I can host many webs in my droplet and add mail addresses easily (like info@abc.com, info@dbc.com)
- I have some admin API, where user can log in and send some emails from his email address
- free options are best :) Now I am using only 512MB Droplet, which is great for my webs
I am not sure, if I need for that an email server, but it can be fine if something like that exists. I also read about Google apps for bussiness or setup with namecheap, but I don’t like it. I think the best option will be to have it on own server.
Could you please suggest something for me?
Thank you very much

To understand me - I don’t need mail server at all if it not fits for me, but I want:
I don’t know how to achieve that yet.
This article does a good job of talking about the pitfalls and issues with hosting your own mail server, and also makes some recommendations at the bottom for the servers you could run if you decide that is still the best course for you: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/why-you-may-not-want-to-run-your-own-mail-server
