I started to use Cloudflare, but I got some problems with mail management.
I can receive and send emails through Vesta Roundcube webmail. But my outlook client stopped working. I can't add my email to any email client such as Apple Mail or Outlook. I think it does not receive a message from the mail server. I am stuck, I don't know where to look next.
This is my config on Cloudflare. And it seems fine. My web and email is on a different webserver.
Any idea of what should be changed?
I finally fixed it. Change your mail A record from "Proxied" to Dns only.

I am setting a mail server for one of my website for which I am using external ZOHO mail server. But for sending mails through the website I am using postfix mail server. Now the issue I am facing is when I send mail through my website to some other mail eg. tushar#gmail.com it send the mail with no issue but if I send mail to one of my own domain email e.g. care#example.com the mail is not received.
I have follows this tutorial to setup send the only postfix: and followed SPF record and DKIM setup using this and this.
I resolved the problem by removing $myhostname variable from mydestination, which probably changed the way mail was sent. Earlier it was through local and now it is being sent through smtp
I have a website hosted outside the organization. The mail server to recieve the message is inside the organization. The website submits a simple form to email using PHP mail function. Works on every domain tested for the recipient except for ones internal to the domain.
So website is www.domain.com. Mail server is mail.domain.com. Hosted at separate sites. When www.domain.com wants to send a message to user#domain.com it should lookup the mx record and notice that mail.domain.com is at another location and forward the message.
If I configure it to send to user#otherdomain.com, the message is successfully sent and received. But sending to the same domain responds with 550 error 'No such user here'. So I'm wondering if the webserver thinks it is supposed to be the recipient of the mail, and thus responds with 'No user here' because, frankly there is no user configured there.
So does anyone know what cpanel/whm settings need to be added/adjusted to allow this server to know that it is not responsible for mail exchanging for this domain. I do have the mx record setup properly, but don't know if it also requires an A record for the address. Any help much appreciated.
I did notice others having the same issues, but no solutions were actually proposed, so I figured I would make my own question, and see if it get's a good answer for others too that may experience the same issue.
It looks like your routing settings are incorrect. Navigate to cPanel >> MX Entry and verify that the routing setting is Remote Mail Exchanger
As the mails are to be delivered externally, setting this as Local Mail Exchanger will make cPanel think the mails are setup locally and cPanel will try to deliver mails locally. As there are no local mail accounts configured with that name, it bounces with the mentioned error.
I would suggest avoiding sending directly to the MX. Submit your message to a local mail server and let it relay to the MX for you. If you send using PHPMailer with SMTP you will get much better feedback on deliveries. As for what cPanel is doing, check the local mail server log, usually in /var/log/mail.log.
You have to change the setting from local to "Remote Mail Exchanger" in dns zone file. and also create mail account at remote location site.
I have a site, which has a server with "Parallels Plesk Panel" installed. I want to send an email from that site a "Contact Us" message to info#domain.com email.
The problem is that this email was already created by one of the programmers using the google mail system (apparently you can create accounts there with a domain name different from gmail.com).
So now, the server rejects my message, telling me that it can't find an email with this name. It works fine when I send to any other domain, but when sending to the same one, it fails. I've created another email info2#domain.com and sent emails there and it works.
My question now is, how do I send emails to the existent info#domain.com which is already created in gmail without making the server block me. One of the options I saw at this panel is to redirect the request for that email to another mailing system (and to specify its IP). Maybe that would help if I would to put there gmails IP?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Using my contact us form I am sending an email to info#domain.com. I get an SMTP error 550, can't find the mail box. When sending to anything but #domain.com it works. When adding that email to my server, it is also fine.
Now, the previous programmer already created info#domain.com, but not with our plesk panel, but using gmail server. Apparently, using gmail you can create an email of the type info#domain.com and not just info#gmail.com. The obvious problem is then that I try to send to this email. It sees that the server is domain.com and tries to find it there (same domain as the site from which I send the message). It fails and gives me the 550 error.
I want the server to send the email with that message to info#domain.com which is actually on gmail.
if I understand correctly, your problem is that two servers think they host the maildomain: your plesk server and gmail.
solution: disable local mail delivery for that domain on the plesk server and make sure plesk can correctly resolve the mx records of that domain , runing dig mx +short domain.com on the plesk server should return a google owned hostname, not the local hostname.
I don't own a plesk server, so I can't tell how how exactly to disable the mail domain, but a quick google search returns: http://www.serveridol.com/2011/03/16/disabling-email-service-for-a-domain-in-plesk/

try a remote email form service. most hosting companies' mail servers are local. to do this, you would have to make your own .htaccess file which contains php.ini mail server settings. i THINK this is correct. you can install php yourself to see what those settings are.
this is something you will probably have to do through the web hosting control panel.
and by the way, XHTML is served up as HTML unless you configure the server to serve XHTML up as XHTML. so use HTML when possible unless you know how to do that. here's how.

I recently signed up for my client Google Apps for Business. Everything setup fine and verification all done.
The only problem is I cannot receive mail to the newly setup mail. I can send out mail no problem.
It seems like the SMTP server had changed but pop3 or IMAP server still using the old one.
How can I resolve that? Thanks!
how does one go about getting email to work in a default MAMP installation? not sure if this is relevant but im trying to send emails from a codeigniter app and whatever protocol i use (mail, sendmail, or smtp), emails never arrive
anyone?
My ISP is blacklisted so its impossible to send emails from my local server. Check your mail log (/var/log/mail.log) - it may give you some useful information. I usually use google's smtp servers for sending mail during development, and then use mail() on the production server..
