I wanted to know how can I configure postfix configuration to send and receive emails through my custom domain bought from GoDaddy. and what else is required for me to do to set DNS records correctly so that it doesn't go to spam when I send an email to someone's gmail
#email server

@cold tangle is your server hosted with debian?
cold tangle
yes Ubuntu on aws
marble marlin
what version?
cold tangle
24 I believe
cold tangle
How did you generate spf, dmarc, dkim records?
cold tangle
check for updates on your server first
it's updated. just checked before posting in the server
marble marlin
@cold tangle that is for checking if you can send emails
cold tangle
So can you send and receive emails from Gmail, Yahoo and all that?
Because I don't want it to be an internal email server
marble marlin
if you configure it
cold tangle
So what should I do? I installed postfix for now.. while configuring I got a bit of problem. I used stack overflow and chatgpt but I couldn't understand how can I generate dns records for GoDaddy in my server
cold tangle
Now? What should I do next?
cold tangle
curl https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo bash
Btw should I rely on a program return by someone else? I mean I just wanna learn to keep things simple
marble marlin
@cold tangle it's easier to use someones else's program
cold tangle
Ok mate, I will take you up on that for now.. but once it's working I wanna learn all of behind-the-scenes move
marble marlin
ok
cold tangle
So what should I do next mate? @marble marlin
marble marlin
curl https://mailinabox.email/setup.sh | sudo bash
@cold tangle photo of every step of this please

@cold tangle sudo apt install postfix
cold tangle
<@547226051470819348> sudo apt install postfix
cold tangle
sudo apt install postfix
marble marlin
@cold tangle ok
cold tangle
<@547226051470819348> ok
marble marlin
@cold tangle yes
cold tangle
<@547226051470819348> yes
marble marlin
changed the name to my domain.app
domain.app being a "fake" domain
cold tangle
oh no no.. what I mean is mydomain= promopulse.app. I have used that
marble marlin
edit main.cf
if you need to
cold tangle
What should I edit?
cold tangle
if you need to
well I don't know what I need to edit.. you know
marble marlin
ignore that if the next commands work
sudo apt install mailutils
sendmail
send a test email to your self
control d to send
check spam in case it's in there
@cold tangle
cold tangle
shouldn't I first set dns records on godaddy? I haven't even setup anything at all
marble marlin
yes, then send a test email @cold tangle
cold tangle
@marble marlin man it's not working 😭
I have been trying really hard to do it but it's not working at all
marble marlin
@cold tangle what's the error?
cold tangle
Man it's the postfix configuration eating me 😭
I have used smtp-server nodejs and recieved emails on my server.. but I can't send them using nodemailer because I would need postfix to actually send the mail from nodemailer @marble marlin
Can you join vc? Perhaps I can show you what's the problem
