I want to create a mail server and want to create mail like mail@mydomain.com, mail2@mydomain.com to sending and receiving mail. The last thing I want to do is sent mail from my Laravel application and for that, I need to config this below thing in Laravel
MAIL_MAILER=smtp MAIL_HOST=mailhog MAIL_PORT=1025 MAIL_USERNAME=null MAIL_PASSWORD=null MAIL_ENCRYPTION=null MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=null MAIL_FROM_NAME=“${APP_NAME}”
I already have 2 droplets over here. one for testing and one for production. I don’t want to screw my production droplet (Laravel hosted droplet). I will buy another droplet for email hosting. So I need a proper solution for it. my domain is https://ghorerrannabd.com/

Hello,
You could follow the steps on how to set up an email server here:
This would include Postfix for sending out emails and Dovecot for the inbound emails.
However, keep in mind that running your own mail server could be quite challenging as described here:

Alternatively, you could use a control panel like cPanel which comes with an email server pre-setup and a graphical interface where you will be able to create and manage your email accounts. You can install it with One-Click via this link here:

Hope that this helps! Best, Bobby
