I just set up my first ever email server and I’m proud of myself! 😊
Do you have any advice to avoid common problems? I mean something beginners often do that they shouldn’t.
Thanks!
On a VPS, as my provider does not allow me to set the revDNS which is required for sending emails. I mean it isn’t actually required but most services like Gmail will drop your emails.
