“I don’t want to setup mail server on VPS” you said. Then that means you need to use a mailing service in order to do that!!

if you don’t want to setup a mail server on your VPS, then you 2nd option is to buy a mailing service such as Google App “$50/year” or go for cheaper one like Zoho mail. you can use Zoho mail for free actually and if you want more size and features then buy their service which is $25/year.

When I setup the free Zohomail servers and try to receive emails via gmail the emails bounce hence not send.

Reasons:
1. I have the name servers to NS1.DIGITALOCEAN.COM NS2… NS3… this makes the receiving emails from gmail a problem with the error -

“The zone file is unavailable because the domains set nameservers do not belong to this registrar.”

How do I go about with this? Please do help if you have had a similar problem.

Check out https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=transactional+email+service . Most of these services should supply you with SMTP credentials that your app can use.
