Vesta server unable to send email

Hi,

I build my 1st home server (IP Fix) with vstacp then install wordpress on it but something wrong with email send : it cannot send email notification or something.. :(

On another side I host another of my wordpress on a real host and I can send email etc.. with wordpress.

My question is : Do we have somewhere a checklist with all check and verify etc.. ??

Thx!

I think its because your ISP blocked the mailserver.

When I run a mailserver from home, I can't sent mail.
This is probably not the software's fault;)

Totally agree. But do u think it need only port 25 or there is other ?...

I don't know, I think they blocked all ports.
You can use a mail relay.

If you use vestacp at home, for a not really important website etc, just use smtp.
Else, just rent a VPS en run vestacp, works fine.

It violates most residential ISP terms of service to run a webserver from home -- at least in North America.

Also again depending on your location the performance of a residential ISP connection is just not sufficient. Even people who have fast connections tend to only have a fast downstream with a slow upstream.

A entry level VPS is $5/month -- so basically free.
