From what I understand, I require these two services Email Store Forward & Outbound SMTP relay for Mail Plus server if I want to have email sent from an IMAP server to Mail Server Plus under the same email domain name ?
For almost 20 years I've used the Eudora email client to get my mail. After getting a Synology I tried numerous times to get Mail plus to work. However, I learned through trial and error I could and did setup Mailplus to act like a mail client to download my mail from my providers webmail page. Maybe you could include that in a future tutorial.
Not sure if MailPlus Server can be setup as a mail client, but I've, for example, forwarded my Gmail email to MailPlus server to be able take advantage of its spam and antivirus filtering. I then used MailPlus or an email client, like Thunderbird, to login to MailPlus server. Is that what you mean?
I followed this and am mostly up and running. My problem seems to be that email can send and receive, but for some reason, gmail in particular will not receive an email sent to it. I can send from gmail to the mailplus server just fine but not from mailplus to gmail. If I test this with another email provider, I can both send and receive just fine, so the problem seems to be specific to only gmail, and only gmail receiving emails from mail server. Any ideas of where to start troubleshooting?
First time trying up to set up something like this. Thanks a lot for your guidance! So far I only managed to receive emails to gmail from NAS. Having issues with receiving emails on NAS. I must mentioned that so far I have not setup DDNS. Do I get it right - you need DDNS to avoid manually adjusting your host's IP everytime your NAS restarts/shuts off? Also, are Dmarc and PTR a must have DNS records in the long run? For example if I plan to use NAS as a temporary production setup?
I noticed in the last step when you received the reply email from gmail to mailplus, Synology highlighted it as "suspicious email" - I am having the same issue. Is there a way to fix that? Great video.
I have a static IP, do these same steps pretty much apply? My port 25 is receiving emails fine..I've followed all your steps for the outbound relay and I can't get it to send an email out. I just started a ticket with Dynu..hopefully they can help! Love the video!
You should be able to do it from Control Panel -> Security -> Certificate. You can create a Let's Encrypt certificate then assign it to all of the MailPlus services. Good luck!!
Maybe I'm too old school but i just dont see the point. This barely qualifies as hosting your own email server. Everything is done by your third party. They both receive and transmit your messages. You're merely a forwarding recipient. Waste of time imo. Pay for a static ip address and run it properly yourself. This is a technical exercise as far as I'm concerned.
Not sure which country you are in but in the UK only a few ISPs provide static addresses to residential customers. Most ISPs only give them to business customers and that costs quite a bit extra.
Thanks for the feedback on the video!! Very much appreciated!! While I disagree that it is a waste of time, I do agree that this wouldn't be what I use in a production environment and the setup covered would be a great technical exercise for anyone who would like to run a mail server. I did lead off the video stating that the setup would be using a residential Internet connection with a dynamic IP address and using 3rd party services to forward incoming email and relay outbound email, but what I should have also mentioned (which I did in my Synology Mail Server video) is that I wouldn't use this setup in a production environment. This also allows those who don't have the means to purchase a dedicated IP address to be able to run a fully functioning email server setup for just an additional $20 a year, which likely isn't a barrier to entry for many.
@digital_aloha Appreciate your videos. I used your pihole and unbound videos and it's a nice setup. I'm using a 1621+ and the modification script that allows unbranded nvme drives to function as storage pools. After installing docker to the nvme pool and following your guides for pihole/unbound it runs dead silent and fast.
@@dezman2003 Thank you!! Glad my videos have been helpful in your setup. I should try the modification script on my DS920+ to make use of the nvme drives as storage pools as well. Did you run into any issues?
Appreciate the content. But unfortunately this does not give any gain for the user. Google and other bad actors online will still steal all your data and know where you are sending things.
Thank you and I appreciate your comment as well. My main objective of the video is to provide a complete guide to run MailPlus Server for anyone who would like to do so. Whether or not Google or others are stealing data is another aspect of running a mail server entirely and not the focus of the content.
@@digital_aloha buenos días, en CNAME lo cambié a A y recién me funcionó; en mi caso estaba migrando de Google WorkSpace a NAS Synology con Mail Plus Server. Claro, en mi caso es con Godaddy. Gracias por responder.
Followed your guide, Everything works Great! Thank You
You're welcome. Glad to hear that you the video was helpful!!

how you get SSL certificate for your domain?

@@AdrianEarnshawMusic Similar in Canada but it's what you need if you plan on running a mail server properly.

... no sirve.
Where did it fail for you?
