How to turn on encryption and authentication for the SMTP server
Posted: Sat Jul 04, 2020 2:12 am
First of all, I'm completely new to Vesta CP or VPS in general, but I'm trying to setup an online store using WordPress Woocommerce on a VPS and also use e-mails. Everything is working fine, except the e-mails.
I can receive it, but I can't send it. After something exploring stuff I found the error message bellow in this file: "/var/log/exim4/mainlog".
When I access the information link it says I have to turn on encryption and authentication for the SMTP server. However I have no idea how to do it, since I'm new to this area.
Here's how I did it so far. Installed Vesta CP using this command:
After that I enabled the SSL Let's encrypt for the domain and also checked the use of SSL of the web on mail and Vesta CP.
What else do I need to do to make it work?
