Can't receive mails? This probably be the reason!
Can't receive mails? This probably be the reason!
Hi, just thought my experience would help some here. Like many threads pointing out, I can send mails from roundcube but cannot receive anything from outside. After banging my head for awhile, I decided to try something and eventually found the cause of the problem.
You would add a domain to vestacp and the then the corresponding DNS records are created. Mail functionality requires some records to properly work. Since, yours a standalone server, it cannot able to propagate the records all over the world within minutes or hours. So you have to wait atleast 48 hours to even come to conclusions email is working or not.
Now, what I have done is, copy all the records (mx, a, _domainkey, etc) to cloudflare DNS and the new records are propagated using their cluster of servers within seconds. And, I can able to receive mail from hotmail and gmail later on.
Hope this helps!

Re: Can't receive mails? This probably be the reason!
You seriously need to read up on how DNS works. What you're stating is definitely not a solution for all.
